SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1184561P3-BO 125 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 1184561P3-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber-optic SFP interface designed for network links with a maximum data transfer rate of 125 Mbit/s. Housed in an aluminium body and weighing 20 g, this transceiver provides a standardized SFP interface for integration into switches, routers and other network equipment that accept SFP form-factor modules. The module supports optical connections using duplex LC-style fiber interfaces and is intended for reliable point-to-point optical data transmission.

Advantages

The aluminium housing offers physical robustness and good heat dissipation while keeping the module lightweight. Compliance with the SFP interface standard ensures mechanical and electrical interoperability with devices that accept SFP transceivers. The module’s uncomplicated specification — 125 Mbit/s maximum throughput and a small form factor — makes it suitable for straightforward fiber link applications where a stable, low-rate optical connection is required. Its compact size and low weight simplify installation and handling in dense rack environments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short-range multimode fiber connections between switches and routers
• Fiber uplinks for access and edge network equipment
• Replacement or expansion of SFP-capable ports in infrastructure requiring up to 125 Mbit/s
• Laboratory setups, testing, or education environments requiring a standardized SFP transceiver

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP form factor
• Maximum data transfer rate: 125 Mbit/s
• Product colour: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 1184561P3-BO by inserting the module into an SFP-compatible port on the host device until it latches; ensure the host supports SFP modules and the intended optical parameters. Connect a duplex LC multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical ports, observing correct TX/RX orientation. Power up the host device and verify link status through the device’s management interface or LEDs. For removal, power down the port if recommended by the equipment vendor, press the module release mechanism and gently pull the transceiver out by its body to avoid damage to the housing or fiber connectors.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC duplex patch cords and adhere to the host device’s supported fiber types and connector handling guidelines. Keep transceiver optical ports capped when not in use to prevent contamination, and perform optical cleaning of connectors before mating to maintain signal integrity.
