Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-28A-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-28A-BO is a compact fiber optic transceiver module with an SFP interface, designed for data transmission at 1250 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, the module supports standard optical networking protocols and fits SFP-compatible ports on switches, routers and other network equipment. It is lightweight (approximately 20 g) and specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, offering a long operational lifetime for continuous network links.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standards-based SFP form factor for broad compatibility with networking hardware and supports 1.25 Gbit/s data rates for Ethernet and similar protocols. Its single-mode 1310 nm optical interface with LC simplex connector enables point-to-point links over extended distances. Built and tested according to MSA guidelines, the module uses established component technology to deliver consistent performance and diagnostic capability where supported by host hardware. The compact silver housing and low weight simplify installation and handling in rack-mounted and edge equipment.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-28A-BO into an empty SFP slot of network equipment that supports SFP transceivers. Ensure the host device supports the required data rate and optical interface. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cable between transceivers or to a patch panel, observing correct fiber polarity. Confirm link status on the equipment and verify operational parameters. If the host supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or query diagnostics to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, output power, received power and temperature for maintenance and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

Use clean connectors and appropriate single-mode patch cords, and verify compatibility with the host device firmware to ensure proper operation. When deploying over longer distances, calculate link budget and attenuation, and consider using certified fiber and patch panels to maintain signal quality and expected range.
