Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics SBC-5XXX-SFPMM 1250 Mbit/s SFP 850 nm

The BlueOptics SBC-5XXX-SFPMM 1250 Mbit/s SFP 850 nm is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. It supports a data rate up to 1250 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength, providing a compact SFP form factor for easy integration into switches, routers and other network equipment that accept SFP modules. The module is intended for typical Ethernet and Fibre Channel short-reach applications where reliable optical connectivity is required.

Advantages

The SFP form factor offers hot-swappable installation and compact footprint, allowing flexible port upgrades without powering down equipment. Operating at 850 nm for multimode fiber provides cost-effective short-range transmission and compatibility with standard multimode patch cords and fiber patch panels. The module’s support for 1250 Mbit/s ensures compatibility with Fast Ethernet and similar serial optical links, enabling straightforward integration into existing network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Short-reach multimode Ethernet connections in data centers and wiring closets
• Interconnects between switches, servers and storage devices over multimode fiber
• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in network equipment that require 850 nm optical modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: multimode (short-range)
• Connector type: compatible with standard LC fiber connectors

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into a compatible SFP port on the powered network device until it seats firmly and the module latch engages. Connect a multimode fiber patch cable with LC connectors to the module’s optical port, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device’s interface as required by your network settings and verify link status and data rate indicators on the equipment. The module supports hot-swapping, but follow your device manufacturer’s guidance when inserting or removing modules to avoid port or device issues.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cables and connectors rated for short-range 850 nm transmission, maintain clean connector endfaces to avoid signal loss, and verify compatibility with your network equipment’s SFP interoperability list before deployment.
