Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO 02315204-BO 1250 Mbit/s LC SX 550 m

BlueOptics fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO 02315204-BO is a compact small form‑factor pluggable module that supports a 1250 Mbit/s data rate with an LC connector and SX 550 m reach. The module is intended for insertion into SFP-compatible switches, routers and media converters to establish short-distance optical links over multimode fiber up to 550 meters. Its compact SFP form factor and standardized interface allow easy hot‑swap installation without powering down network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides reliable 1250 Mbit/s optical transmission with low power consumption and standardized LC connectivity for broad compatibility with networking equipment. The module’s SX 550 m reach supports common campus, data center and building-to-building links over multimode fiber. Its pluggable SFP design simplifies hardware upgrades and replacements and reduces downtime by allowing hot insertion and removal.

Suitable for

• Short-distance fiber uplinks between switches and routers within campus and office buildings
• Interconnecting equipment in wiring closets and data cabinets
• Media converters and unmanaged switch fiber ports for extending Ethernet segments
• Backup or replacement transceiver slots in network devices that accept SFP modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form‑Factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF) compatible for SX class links
• Maximum reach: up to 550 meters
• Interface: serial optical, hot‑pluggable
• Operating environment: designed for standard network equipment environments

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it seats firmly; secure any retention mechanism provided by the host. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module’s LC port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After insertion, verify link status through the host device’s management interface or LED indicators. To remove the module, follow the device manufacturer’s hot‑swap procedure and gently pull the transceiver from the slot.

Recommendations

Use high-quality LC multimode fiber patch cables and maintain proper cable bend radii to ensure stable connections. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s supported SFP types and firmware; if necessary, update device firmware or consult the equipment vendor for interoperability guidance. Avoid contaminating fiber endfaces and clean connectors before mating to prevent signal loss.
