SFP transceiver BlueOptics 740-042297-BO 155 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 740-042297-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for low-speed optical links with a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact SFP form factor with a silver finish, this module is intended for installation in compatible SFP ports on switches, routers or media converters. Built to industry safety and environmental standards, the transceiver provides a long mean time between failures for uninterrupted basic optical connectivity.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact SFP form factor that saves space in network equipment while providing a reliable optical connection at 155 Mbit/s. Its lightweight silver housing simplifies handling and installation. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards ensures regulatory conformity and environmental safety. A high mean time between failures contributes to predictable maintenance intervals and operational reliability in backbone or access networks requiring low-rate optical links.

Suitable for

• Low-speed fiber connections between switches and routers
• Legacy SDH/PDH or ATM network segments requiring 155 Mbit/s optical links
• Optical uplinks for small office or campus networks
• Media converters and industrial communication equipment with SFP slots

Key specifications

• Housing colour: silver
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Standards compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS
• Reliability: mean time between failures ~1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it seats securely; ensure the device is powered according to the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cable using the correct connector type for your network (ensure fiber type and connector match the linked equipment). Verify link status via the host device LEDs or management interface and perform basic link testing to confirm optical signal and data transfer at the expected rate.

Recommendations

Handle the optical module with care and avoid touching the fiber connector end face. Use dust caps when the transceiver is not connected and clean connectors before mating. Match fiber type, connector type and link budget requirements when integrating into existing networks. For optimal operation, follow your network equipment vendor's guidance on supported transceiver modules and firmware compatibility.
