Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics B240-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP 1550 nm

The BlueOptics B240-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP 1550 nm is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for compact network installations requiring reliable single-fiber links. The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a durable metal casing and powered by a 3.3 V input, the module combines robust construction with a lightweight design, making it suitable for switches, routers and media converters where space and thermal stability matter.

Advantages

The module’s SFP interface enables hot-pluggable insertion into compatible network equipment, simplifying upgrades and maintenance without system downtime. Its metal housing provides shielding and mechanical protection while keeping weight low for easy handling and installation. Operating at 1550 nm allows use in longer-reach single-mode fiber applications, and the standardized 1250 Mbit/s data rate ensures compatibility with common Gigabit and STM-1 link equipment that accept this module type.

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate single-mode fiber cable with compatible connectors to the transceiver’s optical port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device is powered and configured to recognise SFP modules; the transceiver draws its operating power from the host’s 3.3 V supply. Monitor link status through the host device to confirm successful optical link establishment.

Recommendations

Handle the optical ports with care: keep protective caps on when the transceiver is not connected, avoid touching fiber endfaces, and follow ESD precautions when handling the module. Use single-mode fiber that matches 1550 nm transmission characteristics and ensure connectors are clean to maintain optimal signal quality and reduce insertion loss.
