Cradlepoint TAA-BFA1-03005GB-GN Managed Gigabit SFP Module
Overview
The TAA-BFA1-03005GB-GN is a managed gigabit SFP module designed for Cradlepoint branch and fixed-site edge deployments. This module plugs into the SFP+ slot of compatible Cradlepoint routers, enabling protocol-aware traffic monitoring and managed connectivity at the edge. It operates across industrial temperature ranges (0–45°C / 32–113°F), making it suitable for outdoor cabinets, unheated shelters, or temperature-variable environments common in remote branch locations. Gigabit speed delivers standard Ethernet throughput for branch WAN and LAN backhaul without exotic infrastructure.
Compatibility
This SFP module is designed for Cradlepoint branch routers equipped with SFP+ expansion slots. Verify your router model includes SFP+ support before ordering — not all Cradlepoint models expose this connector. The managed functionality integrates with Cradlepoint's cloud management platform, enabling remote monitoring and policy enforcement across distributed branch sites. TAA compliance makes it suitable for federal and government procurement workflows.
Installation Notes
Insert the module into the SFP+ slot on your compatible Cradlepoint router until you hear or feel a click — the connector uses a standardized LC interface. No additional power, configuration software, or drivers are required; the router recognizes and negotiates the link automatically upon insertion. Operating temperature range is 0–45°C; do not install in direct sunlight without thermal shielding if ambient temperature exceeds this range. Remove the module only after power-down to avoid transient electrical stress on adjacent circuitry.
