SFP transceiver BlueOptics 1G-SFP-BXU-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver

The BlueOptics 1G-SFP-BXU-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver is an SFP transceiver module engineered for fiber optic network links requiring 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet data transfer. Designed for insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters, this compact module supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and single-fiber transmission over distances up to 20,000 meters using LC connectors. Its silver housing, lightweight construction (20 g) and a calculated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours make it suitable for continuous operation in wired network infrastructures.

Advantages

The module provides standardized SFP form-factor compatibility for easy hot-pluggable installation and interchangeability across multiple vendor devices. With support for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet throughput and a long optical reach, it enables efficient point-to-point fiber links and network uplinks. The LC fiber connector ensures reliable mating with common fiber patch cables, and the compact, lightweight metal housing contributes to thermal stability and straightforward handling during deployment.

Suitable for

• Single-fiber point-to-point links in metropolitan or campus networks
• Uplinks between switches and media converters over long distances
• Fiber backbone segments requiring 1.25 Gbit/s interfaces
• Network equipment where compact SFP transceivers and LC connectors are required

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Maximum optical reach: up to 20,000 m (single-fiber)
• Ethernet interface type: 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet
• Fiber optic connector: LC
• Housing colour: silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP modules and the required data rate before installation. With the network device powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap procedure, insert the BlueOptics SFP into an open SFP slot until it seats firmly. Connect an LC-terminated single-fiber patch cable to the module's LC port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation as required by your link type. Configure the host equipment for 1.25 Gbit/s operation if manual settings are needed, then verify link status and diagnostics through the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use compatible LC single-fiber cables and verify optical budgets for the planned link distance. Handle the transceiver by its housing, keep dust caps on unused ports, and store unused modules in anti-static packaging. Follow vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and firmware compatibility to ensure stable operation.
