SFP transceiver BlueOptics 740-054646-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 740-054646-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module follows MSA-compatible SFP form-factor dimensions and operates from a 3.3 V input. Its compact metal housing and silver finish make it suitable for integration into network switches, routers and other devices that accept standard SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact design that supports up to 1250 Mbit/s optical links while maintaining MSA-compatible interface characteristics. Compatibility testing with Juniper-class hardware is reflected in the product information, and the module’s small footprint and low weight simplify installation and replacement in populated equipment racks. The metal housing and standardized SFP interface contribute to reliable mechanical fit and stable electrical connection.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber uplinks and point-to-point links
• 1 Gbit Ethernet and similar 1.25G serial optical applications
• Integration into switches, routers and network appliances with SFP ports
• Environments requiring a compact, low-profile transceiver

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP modules and the desired optical protocol. With the device powered down or according to the vendor’s hot-swap procedure, insert the transceiver into an empty SFP slot until it seats securely. Connect a compatible single-mode LC patch cord to the transceiver’s LC simplex port, observing correct transmitter/receiver polarity for point-to-point links. Configure the host interface and verify link status and speed through the equipment management interface. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s safety and handling instructions to avoid ESD or fiber optic hazards.

Recommendations

For optimal results use single-mode LC patch cords rated for the link distance required, verify host compatibility with 1.25G optical modules, and confirm that the receiving end supports the same wavelengths/protocol. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid touching the optical ferrule to preserve signal quality.
