Fiber optic SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 500SGM32 R0001-BO 100 m

The BlueOptics 500SGM32 R0001-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbps class high-speed data transfer. Constructed from aluminium and weighing 20 g, this SFP transceiver supports a maximum link distance of 100 m and uses the SFP interface for compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. The module fits MSA-compliant SFP slots and is intended for use where a small, durable transceiver is required for short-reach fiber or copper-based connections that follow the 1000BASE-T/1.25G signalling family.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact form factor and lightweight aluminium housing that eases installation and provides mechanical stability. Its support for up to 100 m link distance makes it suitable for short-reach connections inside data centers, wiring closets, or campus buildings. Built to industry MSA form-factor standards, the module is suitable for use with many switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP optics and supports common high-speed Ethernet protocols.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 1 Gbit Ethernet links up to 100 m
• Interconnects between switches, routers and servers in wiring closets or racks
• Network upgrades and replacement of compatible SFP transceivers
• Use in equipment with SFP slots that support 1000BASE-T/1.25G optics

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Maximum transfer distance: 100 m
• Typical data rate class: 1.25 G (1000BASE class)
• Body material and colour: aluminium housing (aluminium colour)
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 500SGM32 R0001-BO by inserting the module into an MSA-compliant SFP slot on your switch, router or storage device while the host port is powered down or according to the equipment vendor's hot-swap guidelines. Connect the appropriate fibre patch cord or copper RJ45 cable (as supported by the host and the transceiver) to the module, then configure the host interface for 1 Gbit operation if required. Verify link status and diagnostics via the host device's management interface to ensure correct operation.

Recommendations

Use the transceiver with compatible MSA-compliant equipment and appropriate patch cords. Verify that the host hardware and firmware support the chosen transceiver type and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on the host to monitor supply voltage, optical power and temperature. Avoid excessive mechanical stress on the module and cable bends beyond vendor-recommended minimum bend radii to maintain reliable performance.
