SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GE-M500 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GE-M500 is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for gigabit network links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this small-form pluggable module supports short-range multimode fiber connections and offers a compact, lightweight design in a silver housing. The transceiver is intended to provide reliable physical layer connectivity where swift, bidirectional data transmission over fiber is required.

Advantages

The module's SFP interface enables hot-pluggable installation in compatible network devices without powering down equipment. A 1250 Mbit/s data rate and 850 nm wavelength make it suitable for short-range multimode fiber links, delivering stable throughput for switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections. Its lightweight silver metal enclosure provides robust mechanical protection while minimizing space and weight impact in dense rack environments.

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers and that the correct fiber type (multimode) and connector type are used. Power down network equipment if recommended by the vendor, then insert the BlueOptics SFP-GE-M500 module into an empty SFP port until it seats firmly. Connect the multimode fiber cable to the transceiver’s optical interface, taking care to keep fiber endfaces clean. After installation, verify link status and configure the host device as needed to enable the port at the intended data rate.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber cables rated for short-range links and maintain clean fiber endfaces to avoid signal loss. Match the transceiver wavelength and connector type with the corresponding fiber and partner transceiver. Store unused modules in protective caps to prevent contamination and handle the unit by its housing to minimize static or mechanical stress.
