SFP transceiver BlueOptics 740-011620-BO Fiber optic 155 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 740-011620-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for point-to-point and network uplink connections with a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s. Its compact SFP form factor and silver housing provide a space-saving module that fits into standard SFP slots, enabling optical connectivity in compatible Juniper equipment and other devices that accept standard SFP interfaces.

Advantages

The module delivers stable optical transmission at 155 Mbit/s while minimizing footprint in network racks. Its SFP interface allows hot-pluggable installation and straightforward replacement or upgrades without powering down the host system. The metal silver enclosure offers physical protection and thermal dissipation suitable for typical networking environments.

Suitable for

• Fiber optic uplinks between switches and routers
• Legacy network segments operating at 155 Mbit/s (STM-1/OC-3 equivalent links)
• Space-constrained network equipment requiring SFP modules
• Maintenance and replacement in compatible Juniper devices and other SFP-capable hardware

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Optical medium: fiber optic
• Housing color: silver metal enclosure
• Hot-pluggable support: yes (standard SFP behavior)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot on the host device until it clicks into place, then connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the transceiver port. Verify link status through the host device interface and confirm the operating mode is set to match the 155 Mbit/s link rate if configurable. To remove, release the module latch and gently pull the transceiver from the slot; always follow the host equipment manufacturer’s handling guidelines and observe ESD precautions.

Recommendations

Use single-mode or multimode fiber type only as supported by the host device and cabling plan; verify connector type and fiber patching to ensure proper optical link performance. Keep dust caps on unused ports and avoid excessive bending of fiber cables to maintain signal integrity.
