Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO 91-010-204001B 1250 Mbit/s LC LX up to 550 m

The BlueOptics fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO 91-010-204001B supports a 1250 Mbit/s data rate and uses an LC connector with LX single-mode optics for point-to-point links up to 550 m. In a compact, hot-pluggable SFP form factor, the module is intended for installation in switches, routers and media converters to add or extend fiber connections without powering down network equipment. The module’s LX single-mode design and industry-standard SFP compatibility make it suitable for short campus, building-to-building and access network links where a reliable single-fiber connection is required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a straightforward way to add fiber connectivity through a small form-factor SFP interface, enabling hot-swap replacement and minimizing service interruptions. Its single-mode LX optics deliver stable performance over distances up to 550 m, with an LC duplex connector that is widely supported by networking equipment. The module’s compact design conserves port space and simplifies inventory management for mixed copper/fiber deployments.

Suitable for

• Upgrading switch or router ports to fiber in campus or office environments
• Connecting media converters to extend copper links to fiber
• Short-range single-mode links between buildings or equipment racks
• Spare or replacement transceiver in network maintenance kits

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical type: LX single-mode
• Maximum reach: up to 550 m
• Connector: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Application: point-to-point fiber links for switches, routers, media converters

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect a duplex LC single-mode fiber patch cable to the module’s LC connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. The hot-pluggable design allows insertion and removal without powering down the host device; verify link status via the equipment’s indicator LEDs or management interface after installation. If necessary, configure interface settings (speed/duplex, auto-negotiation or administrative state) in the host device to match network requirements.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode LC patch cables and proper fiber handling practices to maintain signal integrity. Avoid bending fibers beyond their minimum bend radius, keep LC connectors clean, and use dust caps when ports are unused. For reliable operation, verify compatibility with the host device and monitor link status after installation.
