Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 3000-042-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics 3000-042-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP fiber optic transceiver module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for fiber-based network links. Designed for compatibility with SFP ports, this silver-colored module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is intended for use in switches, routers and network interface cards that accept standard SFP modules. With a lightweight metal housing and an MTBF of approximately 1,000,000 hours, it offers a reliable physical layer solution for short- to medium-range optical connections.

Advantages

The module’s SFP form factor delivers simplicity and interchangeability across a wide range of network devices. Its rated transfer speed of 1250 Mbit/s matches common gigabit and enhanced fiber link requirements while keeping power consumption and size low. The silver metal housing provides durable mechanical protection and helps with heat dissipation, and the specified mean time between failures indicates a long service life under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Connecting Ethernet or fibre channel equipment with SFP ports
• Upgrading access or distribution switches to fiber links
• Replacing faulty SFP transceivers in data center or enterprise networks
• Small office and industrial network fiber connections

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Housing: metal, silver colour
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Reliability: MTBF ~1,000,000 hours

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your network device until it clicks into place, then connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the module’s optical interface. Ensure the device is configured to recognize the module and that transmit/receive settings and link parameters match at both ends. For hot-pluggable operation, observe device vendor guidelines for insertion and removal to avoid port damage or link interruption.

Recommendations

Install and remove the module in a static-free environment, handle the optical connector with care to prevent contamination, and verify fiber type and connector compatibility before deployment. Monitor link status after installation and keep firmware or driver compatibility in mind when mixing modules and devices from different vendors.
