SFP transceiver BlueOptics 7N86N-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 7N86N-BO SFP transceiver is a compact fiber optic module designed for single-mode links supporting up to 1250 Mbit/s. It implements the SFP form factor and operates from a 3.3 V supply. With an LC duplex connector and a small metal housing that measures 13.9 mm × 58.4 mm × 12.6 mm and weighs approximately 30 g, this module is intended for plug-and-play installation in compatible network equipment. The transceiver supports standard 1000BASE-LX operation with 1310 nm transmit and receive wavelengths and is suitable for distances typical of LX-class single-mode links.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 7N86N-BO combines a standardized SFP interface and a small lightweight metal housing to provide straightforward installation and reliable mechanical fit in SFP ports. Support for 1250 Mbit/s data rates and LC duplex fiber connectors enables use in Gigabit Ethernet and similar protocols. The module's compliance with established multi-source agreement (MSA) SFP dimensions and signaling ensures interoperability with devices that accept standard SFP optics. Low power operation at 3.3 V and a metal enclosure contribute to stable operation and heat dissipation in rack-mounted switches, routers, and other network devices.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and fiber trunk links
• Switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• Long-reach single-mode connections using LC duplex patch cords
• Environments requiring standardized, hot-pluggable optical transceivers

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 7N86N-BO into a compatible SFP slot until it latches, then connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords with attention to correct TX/RX alignment. Ensure the host device supports the required 1000BASE-LX protocol and 3.3 V SFP modules. After insertion, verify link status on the host equipment and check optical power and signal parameters where available. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), monitor voltage, temperature and optical power through the device management interface to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

Use clean, inspected single-mode LC patch cords and appropriate patch panels to achieve optimal link quality. Avoid bending fibers beyond their minimum bend radius and ensure connectors are dust-free before mating. Confirm compatibility with the specific host model and firmware when using third-party optics to enable full feature reporting via DDM/DOM where supported.
