SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-28B-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-28B-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for point-to-point optical links in networking equipment. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber at a 1550 nm wavelength, uses an LC connector in a simplex configuration and is lightweight at approximately 20 g. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a typical maximum reach of up to 20,000 m, this transceiver is intended for reliable long-distance connectivity in switches, routers and other network devices that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compatible form factor and electrical specifications, enabling broad interoperability with compliant network hardware. Its single-mode operation at 1550 nm provides extended reach while maintaining immunity to electromagnetic interference, and the LC simplex connector supports standard fiber patching practices. A high MTBF value indicates low failure rates and reduced maintenance needs for installed optical links.

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it latches. Connect a single-mode LC patch cable between this transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and that link/activity indicators are active. Ensure fiber polarity and pairings are correct for bidirectional operation. For systems supporting Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable monitoring in the host to view parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords and clean connectors before insertion to ensure optimal optical performance. Confirm device compatibility with MSA-compliant SFP transceivers and enable DDM/DOM in the host if monitoring is required. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and install the transceiver in an environment consistent with the equipment's temperature and humidity specifications.
