Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics CSFP-GE-FE-BIDI4-31-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics CSFP-GE-FE-BIDI4-31-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for compact network equipment with a cSFP interface. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and comes in a lightweight silver housing weighing approximately 20 g. The module implements bidirectional (BIDI) single-fiber operation, making it suitable for use in environments where fiber count is limited or where space-efficient uplink and media conversion solutions are required.

Advantages

This cSFP transceiver provides stable optical connectivity at 1250 Mbit/s while occupying minimal space in compatible devices. Its lightweight and compact metal housing ensures easy handling and integration into compact switches, media converters, or routers with cSFP slots. The bidirectional operation reduces the need for two fibers, which can simplify cabling and lower infrastructure requirements without changing the device’s software or interface configuration.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics cSFP module into a compatible cSFP slot according to the host device manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the module is fully seated and that the device is powered off or supports hot-plugging if inserting while powered. Connect the appropriate single-fiber BIDI cable with the correct TX/RX orientation, and verify link status via the host device indicators or management interface. Configure the host port to operate at the intended line rate if manual configuration is required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality single-fiber patch cords with compatible connectors and follow fiber handling best practices: avoid tight bends, keep connectors clean, and protect exposed fiber ends with dust caps when not connected. Verify compatibility with the host device and, when possible, test the link at the desired data rate before deployment.
