SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1200480E1 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics 1200480E1 is an SFP transceiver module designed for fiber optic network connections. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength, making it suitable for short-range multimode fiber links in switches, routers and other SFP-compatible equipment. The module follows common SFP form-factor conventions and enables straightforward hot-pluggable installation into standard SFP cages.

Advantages

The module provides reliable optical connectivity with a 1250 Mbit/s line rate and a widely used 850 nm wavelength for multimode fiber applications. Its SFP interface ensures broad compatibility with many network devices, while the compact, hot-swappable design simplifies deployment and maintenance. The use of industry-standard construction promotes predictable performance and easy replacement in existing installations.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links within data centers
• Uplink ports on Ethernet switches and routers with SFP slots
• Replacing or expanding existing SFP-based optical connections
• Applications requiring 1250 Mbit/s serial optical links

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm (multimode fiber)
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP transceiver
• Typical use: short-range fiber optic connections

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 1200480E1 by inserting the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down or following the manufacturer's hot-swap guidance. Connect the appropriate multimode fiber cable (matching the 850 nm wavelength and connector type) to the transceiver's optical interface. After insertion and connection, verify link status and data rate through the host device's management interface to confirm successful negotiation and operation.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cables rated for the target distance and ensure connector cleanliness to maintain signal integrity. Confirm compatibility with the host device's supported transceiver list and firmware requirements. For critical links, monitor link status and perform periodic inspection of fiber connectors to prevent degradation.
