SFP transceiver BlueOptics 740-054647-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 740-054647-BO SFP transceiver is a compact fiber optic module designed for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Built in an SFP form factor and fitted with an LC fiber connector, this module supports single-mode fiber runs up to 20,000 meters and is intended for integration into switches, routers and media converters that accept standard SFP plugs. The transceiver’s lightweight metal housing in silver and a rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours reflect a focus on dependable, space-efficient optical connectivity.

Advantages

The module provides standardized SFP compatibility and a small physical footprint, enabling flexible placement in network equipment with limited space. Its LC connector and single-mode reach up to 20 km make it suitable for longer-distance uplinks and interbuilding connections. A documented MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a metal housing contribute to consistent operation and mechanical durability. The low weight simplifies handling during installation or replacement.

Suitable for

• Long-reach fiber uplinks between switches or buildings (up to 20 km)
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports in switches, routers and media converters
• 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet connections in enterprise and carrier access networks
• Optical links where LC connector and single-mode fiber are used

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers and that the network settings match the intended 1.25 Gbit/s optical link. With the host device powered down or in accordance with the manufacturer's hot-swap guidance, insert the SFP module into an empty SFP slot until it clicks into place. Connect appropriate single-mode LC fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s LC ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After powering the device or enabling the port, verify link status and configure network parameters as required by your switch or router management interface.

Recommendations

Handle the module by its housing, avoid touching the fiber connector endfaces, and keep dust caps on unused ports. Use clean single-mode LC patch cords and perform inspection/cleaning of fiber connectors before mating. Ensure firmware and device compatibility with third-party SFP modules where applicable, and follow ESD precautions during installation and removal.
