Cradlepoint Inc TAA-BFA1-0300C7C-GN Gigabit SFP Module

Cradlepoint TAA-BFA1-0300C7C-GN Gigabit SFP Module

Overview

The Cradlepoint TAA-BFA1-0300C7C-GN is a single-port Gigabit SFP module designed to expand fiber connectivity in branch and fixed-site network deployments. This accessory integrates into compatible Cradlepoint enterprise systems to add Gigabit Ethernet capacity via standard SFP slots, enabling fiber-based uplinks or long-distance site-to-site connections without requiring a separate appliance. Industrial operating temperature rating (0 °C to 45 °C / 32 °F to 113 °F) ensures stable performance in non-climate-controlled equipment rooms or outdoor cabinet installations where temperature swings are common.

Compatibility

The TAA-BFA1-0300C7C-GN is compatible with Cradlepoint branch and fixed-site systems that feature standard SFP module slots. Verify your specific Cradlepoint appliance model includes an available SFP+ expansion slot before ordering — not all branch routers expose SFP ports on the same connector type. Consult your system documentation or contact Cradlepoint support with your appliance model number to confirm slot compatibility and any firmware prerequisites.

Installation Notes

Insert the module straight into the SFP+ slot until you hear or feel a click — no tools required. Ensure the system is powered on or off per Cradlepoint's guidance (many modern systems hot-swap SFP modules, but confirm your model). The Gigabit SFP standard supports multimode and single-mode fiber transceivers; verify your fiber type and transceiver specifications match the module's optical requirements. Keep the module clean and dust-free; use the included dust caps on unused fiber connectors to prevent debris infiltration.
