SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-8H-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-8H-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s) links using a 1310 nm wavelength. Housed in a metal enclosure and weighing approximately 3 g, the module follows MSA SFP form‑factor conventions and uses an LC duplex connector for simultaneous transmit and receive on separate fibers. It supports typical 1000BASE‑LH applications over long distances on single‑mode fiber and is compatible with hardware that accepts standard SFP 1000BASE‑LH modules.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact metal housing, low power operation at 3.3 V input, and a lightweight design suitable for dense installations. Compliance with SFP MSA physical form and LC duplex connectivity enables straightforward interoperability with switches, routers and other network devices that support 1000BASE‑LH optics. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support is available when the host equipment provides the required interface, enabling remote monitoring of key optical parameters.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 1 Gbit/s Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber (1000BASE‑LH)
• Long‑reach fiber connections between switches, routers and storage systems
• Replacement or upgrade of standard SFP transceivers in compatible network equipment
• Environments requiring LC duplex fiber connections and DDM monitoring support

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA compliant)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (Tx and Rx)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical fiber type: single‑mode fiber
• Power supply: 3.3 V input
• Housing: metal
• Weight: approximately 0.003 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or optical transceiver cage, ensuring correct orientation and full insertion until it latches. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cables to the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) ports with the correct polarity. Power and link negotiation are managed by the host device; confirm that the device supports 1000BASE‑LH optics and any required DDM/DOM functionality. Perform link tests and verify link status indicators on the host equipment to confirm successful connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance use single‑mode LC duplex fiber and quality patch cords, keep fiber connectors clean, and confirm that the host hardware supports 1000BASE‑LH SFP modules and DDM if remote diagnostics are required. Follow standard ESD handling precautions when installing the transceiver.
