Description
SFP 2.5G RJ45 module for BPI-R3 (BPI-SFP-2.5G-T-R-RM) for Banana Pi
The BPI-SFP-2.5G-T-R-RM converts an SFP cage of the Banana Pi BPI-R3 into a 2.5 Gbit/s copper RJ45 port. Both SFP cages of the R3 run in fixed 2500Base-X mode: only modules compatible with this protocol work in them, and this one is among the modules Banana Pi has tested successfully. You can therefore connect an ordinary network cable to a router, a switch or a 2.5G NAS.
Highlights
- 2.5 Gbit/s over copper cable, with no fiber or optical patch cord.
- Tested by Banana Pi on the official list of modules for the BPI-R3.
- Ideal for WAN to take advantage of a multi-gigabit fiber plan behind an ISP box with a 2.5G port.
- Simple cabling : a Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable is enough over short distances.

Stay with copper for a link within the same room; switch to 2.5G BiDi fiber for long distances.
Compatibility and pitfalls to avoid
- For the BPI-R3 : the BPI-R4 cages are fixed at 10 Gbit/s and do not accept this module.
- No insertion notification : the R3 does not report the insertion of an SFP module. Check the link status in OpenWrt once the cable is connected.
- Equipment on the other end : make sure your router or switch accepts 2.5 Gbit/s on that port.
- The BPI-R3 Mini has no SFP cage : it already has two 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports.
- Raspberry Pi : no model has an SFP cage, so this module cannot connect to it.
Recommended accessories
- Banana Pi BPI-R3 : the router board with two 2.5G SFP cages for which this module is intended.
- Metal case for BPI-R3 : protects the board and its modules.
- RJ45 CAT6 Ethernet cable: to connect the module to the router or switch.
Uses and projects
- 2.5G WAN port to your ISP's fiber box.
- 2.5G link to a NAS or a workstation.
- First steps with your board: getting started with a Banana Pi.
Frequently asked questions
Does this module work on the BPI-R3?
Yes, it is on the list of SFP modules tested by Banana Pi for the R3.
And on the BPI-R4?
No, the R4 only accepts 10G modules. Choose the SFP-10G-T.
Is there an SFP port on Raspberry Pi?
No. For open-source SFP, you need a router such as the BPI-R3 or the BPI-R4.
Why does nothing appear when I plug in the module?
The R3 does not detect the insertion of SFP modules; this is normal. Check the link in the network interface.
