SFP fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics 100-02581-BO, 1250 Mbit/s, silver, 0.02 kg

BlueOptics 100-02581-BO is a single‑fiber SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for short to medium distance fiber links. The module supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and fits standard SFP slots in switches, routers and media converters. Its compact, hot‑pluggable form factor and silver metal housing make it suitable for installations where space is limited and reliable optical connectivity is required. The manufacturer specifies a mean time between failures (MTBF) around 1,000,000 hours, providing indicators of long service life under normal operating conditions.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP module offers a compact SFP interface that allows easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment. With a rated data transfer speed of up to 1250 Mbit/s, it supports common fiber networking applications while keeping power consumption and weight minimal (0.02 kg). The silver metal housing provides mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding, and the hot‑swappable design reduces maintenance downtime.

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical interface, ensuring proper connector type and polarity. The module is hot‑pluggable, so it can be installed or removed while the host device is powered, but follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and manufacturer guidance when handling. Verify link status and configuration on the host device to confirm successful negotiation at the expected data rate.

Recommendations

Use factory‑terminated fiber cables and clean connector endfaces to maintain signal quality. Match the transceiver to the port optics and fiber type supported by your networking equipment to ensure compatibility. Store unused modules with dust caps in a dry, static‑free environment and avoid exposing the transceiver to extreme temperatures or mechanical shock.
