BlueOptics SFP-8-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-8-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s data transmission at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The module is housed in a metal casing, weighs approximately 3 g and operates from a 3.3 V input. It provides a duplex LC optical interface and conforms to MSA SFP form‑factor compatibility, enabling straightforward integration into SFP‑equipped switches, routers and storage platforms that accept compatible SFP modules.

Advantages

The module delivers stable optical links over long distances using 1550 nm single‑mode transmission and supports up to 1250 Mbit/s throughput. Its compact metal housing and low weight make it easy to handle and install in 1U/2U networking equipment. Compliance with SFP MSA physical dimensions and LC duplex interfacing ensures broad compatibility with standard network hardware. The design also supports common diagnostic and monitoring functions when the host hardware implements Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) according to MSA specifications.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP‑8‑BO into an empty SFP socket on a compatible switch, router or storage device while the host hardware is powered off or following the vendor’s hot‑swap guidance. Connect single‑mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s LC ports, taking care to match transmit and receive pairs. Ensure the host device supports 1250 Mbit/s operation at 1550 nm and, if required, enable any software configuration for link speed and diagnostics. Verify link status through the host device interface or LEDs and perform testing to confirm end‑to‑end connectivity.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber patch cords and appropriate LC connectors rated for long‑reach links to achieve optimal range and signal quality. If monitoring is needed, confirm that the host device supports DDM/DOM to access real‑time diagnostic parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and module temperature.
