SFP transceiver BlueOptics 740-094030-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 740-094030-BO SFP transceiver is a compact fiber-optic module designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s) single-mode links. It follows MSA SFP mechanical standards and uses an LC simplex connector for point-to-point optical connections. The module operates from a 3.3 V input and is supplied in a silver housing with small dimensions (approx. 13.9 mm × 58.4 mm × 12.6 mm) and a light weight of about 0.02 kg, making it suitable for a wide range of networking equipment that accepts SFP form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver supports 1000BASE-BX-D operation with separate transmit and receive wavelengths for single-mode fiber, enabling full duplex optical transmission over a single fiber. It is produced to meet MSA compatibility and is tested for interoperability with Juniper platforms and other SFP-capable hardware. Built with industry-grade components, the module provides stable optical performance, integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) capability where supported by host hardware, and a compact, industry-standard mechanical design that simplifies installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber Ethernet links up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Point-to-point fiber connections using LC simplex connectors
• Network switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• Long-reach links where BX-D wavelength pairs are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA compliant)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (uses wavelength pair for BX-D operation)
• Connector: LC simplex
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing colour: silver
• Dimensions (approx.): 13.9 mm (W) × 58.4 mm (D) × 12.6 mm (H)
• Weight (approx.): 0.02 kg
• Supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host supports SFF-8472

How to use

Power off or disable the SFP port on the host device if recommended by the equipment vendor. Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port until it latches. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cable following the correct TX/RX orientation for BX-D operation (one side transmits at one wavelength while the other receives at the complementary wavelength). Enable the port in your switch or router management interface and verify link status and optical parameters. If supported by your hardware, access the DDM/DOM registers to monitor real-time optical diagnostics such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, input power and module temperature.

Recommendations

Verify that your network equipment explicitly supports 1000BASE-BX-D or compatible SFP transceivers and that the device firmware does not restrict third-party modules. Use single-mode LC simplex patch cords rated for the link distance and follow TX/RX pairing conventions for BX-D wavelength operation. For accurate monitoring and troubleshooting enable DDM/DOM in the host system. Handle the transceiver by the housing, keep dust caps on when unused, and store modules in anti-static packaging when not installed.
