SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-17A-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm Silver

The BlueOptics SFP-17A-BO is a Single-Mode fiber SFP transceiver designed for up to 1250 Mbit/s data transfer at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Built in a metal housing and weighing just 3 g, this compact module operates from a 3.3 V supply and provides an SFP interface with LC Simplex connectivity according to MSA form-factor conventions. It is intended to deliver reliable optical links for network equipment that supports standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The metal housing offers mechanical durability and thermal stability while the small 3 g form factor allows easy hot-plug installation in SFP ports. With a nominal data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and single-mode operation at 1310 nm, the module supports long-reach optical links when used with appropriate single-mode fiber and LC Simplex connectors. Compliance with SFP / MSA form factors ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking devices that accept standard SFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet and similar 1.25 Gbit/s network uplinks
• Single-mode fiber links with LC Simplex connectors
• Switches, routers, storage systems and other SFP-compatible network equipment
• Environments requiring compact, hot-pluggable optical transceivers

How to use

Ensure the target device supports standard SFP transceivers and the required data rate. Power down the host port if recommended by the equipment manufacturer, insert the BlueOptics SFP-17A-BO module into the SFP slot until it latches, and then power the device or enable the port. Connect the LC Simplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the module and to the remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status and configuration in your switch or router management interface and adjust device settings if necessary to match 1.25 Gbit/s operation or the intended protocol (e.g., Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet).

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and LC Simplex patch cords to achieve optimal range and signal integrity. Confirm compatibility with the host hardware and, where available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, output power, input power and temperature for remote troubleshooting. Follow ESD handling procedures and install/remove the transceiver by its housing to avoid damaging internal components.
