SFP transceiver BlueOptics TEG-MGBS40-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics TEG-MGBS40-BO SFP transceiver is a compact fiber optic module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a metal case and weighing approximately 20 g, the module follows MSA SFP mechanical and electrical standards and provides long operational life with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. It uses an LC duplex interface and operates with 1310 nm transmit and receive wavelengths for long‑reach connections up to tens of kilometers depending on fiber and network conditions.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standardized SFP form factor for plug-and-play installation in compatible switches, routers and storage devices. A metal housing improves durability and thermal stability while the module’s design supports common optical protocols including Ethernet and Fibre Channel at up to 1.25 Gbit/s. The product is manufactured to MSA specifications to ensure interoperability with major vendor platforms that accept the Trendnet TEG-MGBS40 form factor.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Long‑reach connections in campus or metro networks
• Storage area network links and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• Device replacement or capacity upgrades in compatible hardware

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or storage device until it clicks into place. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cable to the transceiver, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and that link LEDs or management interfaces indicate an active connection. Configure the network interface on the host device according to your network policy and protocol requirements.

Recommendations

Ensure the host hardware supports the SFP form factor and the Trendnet TEG-MGBS40 compatible profile for full functionality. Use single‑mode LC duplex patch cables and maintain clean fiber connectors to optimize link quality. For monitoring and troubleshooting, enable Digital Diagnostics/DOM on supported equipment to read supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature where available.
