SFP transceiver BlueOptics 331-5308 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic 850 nm

The BlueOptics 331-5308 is an SFP transceiver module engineered for fiber optic networks. Supporting a data transfer rate up to 1250 Mbit/s and operating at an 850 nm wavelength, the module provides a compact hot-pluggable interface for short-range multimode fiber links in switches, routers and media converters. Designed to meet common networking standards, it is suitable for upgrading or expanding existing infrastructure where reliable short-distance optical connectivity is required.

Advantages

The compact SFP form factor enables flexible port configuration and easy installation without powering down equipment. Operation at 850 nm with multimode fibers offers a cost-effective solution for short-range links inside buildings or data centers. Support for a 1250 Mbit/s rate ensures compatibility with common fast Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications that require reliable, low-latency data transmission. The module’s standardized interface provides wide compatibility with devices that accept SFP optical transceivers.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber connections in enterprise networks
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within data centers
• Upgrading ports on routers, switches and media converters to optical links
• Applications requiring 1250 Mbit/s throughput and 850 nm optical wavelength

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or media converter until it latches. Connect a suitable multimode fiber cable with matching connectors to the transceiver optical interface. Verify link status through the network device’s LEDs or management interface and ensure both ends are configured for the appropriate speed and duplex if required. To remove the module, release the latch mechanism and gently pull the transceiver out while the device is powered if hot-plugging is supported.

Recommendations

Use short-length multimode fiber patch cables and ensure cleanliness of fiber connectors to maintain optimal optical performance. Check device compatibility lists and firmware requirements before installation. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid touching the optical ferrule to prevent contamination.
