SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1241520000-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 1241520000-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for small form-factor pluggable ports. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and enables single-fiber or multimode connections using an LC (UPC) connector. The module's compact silver housing and lightweight construction make it suitable for insertion into switches, routers and media converters where stable optical links are required over extended distances up to 40,000 meters.

Advantages

This SFP module provides reliable optical connectivity with a high mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, contributing to reduced downtime and long service life. With support for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet signalling and a standardized LC (UPC) fiber connector, it delivers interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment. The lightweight, metal-bodied design simplifies handling and installation in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet links between switches and routers over fiber
• Connecting media converters to fiber infrastructure
• Point-to-point fiber connections in campus and enterprise networks
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP ports to support 1250 Mbit/s optical links

How to use

Install the module by inserting it into a compatible SFP port on the networking device until it clicks into place. Connect the fiber cable to the LC (UPC) connector, ensuring proper polarity and clean end-faces to maintain signal quality. Configure the host device for the desired link speed and duplex settings if required; many systems will negotiate 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet automatically. Monitor link status LEDs on the equipment to confirm a successful optical connection.

Recommendations

Before installation, verify compatibility with the target switch or converter and inspect fiber connectors for dirt or damage. Use appropriate fiber patch cables rated for the required distance and environment, and perform end-to-end testing after installation to confirm signal integrity. Handle the transceiver by its housing and avoid touching the optical interface to prevent contamination.
