Cradlepoint TAA-BFA5-03005GB-GN Gigabit SFP Module
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-BFA5-03005GB-GN is a gigabit-speed SFP transceiver module designed for integration into Cradlepoint branch and fixed-site routing equipment. This module delivers reliable fiber or copper connectivity at 1 Gbps, operating across industrial temperature ranges (0°C to 45°C), making it suitable for warehouse, retail, and field office deployments where temperature stability matters. The TAA-BFA5-03005GB-GN is TAA-compliant, meeting federal procurement standards for government and regulated enterprise environments.
Compatibility
This SFP module integrates into Cradlepoint branch routers and edge devices that feature SFP+ expansion slots. It is designed for use within Cradlepoint's managed networking ecosystem, supporting cloud-based management and monitoring via Cradlepoint's NetCloud infrastructure. Confirm your specific Cradlepoint router model supports SFP transceiver expansion before ordering — compatibility is limited to equipment with an open SFP+ port slot.
Installation Notes
Insertion is tool-free: press the module into the SFP+ slot until the retention clip locks fully. Ensure the device is powered off during installation to avoid transient faults. Operating temperature limits (0°C to 45°C) mean this module is not rated for unheated outdoor enclosures or direct sun-baked installations — deploy it in climate-controlled cabinets or indoor equipment racks only. No separate power supply is required; the SFP slot provides all necessary power via the host device.
