SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 10053H-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics 10053H-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic interface designed for single-mode links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and transmits and receives optical signals at 1550 nm. With an industry-standard SFP form factor, LC duplex connectivity and a lightweight silver metal housing of approximately 20 g, this module is intended for integration into network switches, routers and other compatible hardware that accept SFP pluggable transceivers.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compliant SFP form factor conventions for plug-and-play insertion and hot-swapping in supported equipment. Its 1550 nm wavelength operation and 1250 Mbit/s signalling support common 1000BASE-ZX single-mode deployments, enabling extended reach over fiber. The small, lightweight metal housing offers straightforward handling and installation while providing electrical shielding and thermal stability for standard networking environments.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber links requiring 1000BASE-ZX class connectivity
• Switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports that support compatible 1000BASE optics
• Long-distance Ethernet or carrier links over single-mode fiber

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1550 nm (transmit/receive)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Typical module weight: 0.02 kg (approx. 20 g)
• Module colour: silver metal housing

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or other networking device while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s hot-swap guidelines. Terminate the LC duplex connector to a single-mode fiber patch cable that matches the transceiver’s wavelength and connector polarity. Verify link status through the host device interface or LEDs and configure the device’s network settings as required for the intended Ethernet or transport protocol.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor’s supported transceiver list before installation and, if available, test the module in a lab or non-production environment. Use quality single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cables, maintain correct polarity, and follow ESD precautions when handling the module. For long-distance links, verify link budget and attenuation to ensure reliable operation at 1550 nm.
