SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1783-SFP1GEX-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver

The BlueOptics 1783-SFP1GEX-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver is an SFP transceiver module for fiber optic networks. Designed for small form-factor pluggable sockets, this module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and enables single-mode fiber connections over long distances. Its compact dimensions (13.9 mm × 58.4 mm × 12.6 mm) and lightweight metal housing in silver make it suitable for integration into switches, routers and media converters where space and reliability are important. The module uses an LC (UPC) fiber optic connector and is specified with a long operational lifetime, reflected in a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet compatibility with a maximum reach of up to 40,000 m on appropriate single-mode fiber, allowing long-distance links without additional extenders. Its small form factor and standard SFP interface provide easy hot-pluggable installation and replacement. Low weight and silver metal housing support stable mechanical mounting and thermal performance, while the LC (UPC) connector ensures common interoperability with existing fiber cabling.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links between buildings or sites
• Fiber uplinks for switches and routers in data closets and telecom racks
• Integration into media converters and network appliances with SFP slots
• Redundant or spare transceiver stock for maintenance and rapid replacement

How to use

Ensure compatible SFP slots and matching optical fiber type (single-mode) before installation. Power down or follow hot-plugging safety procedures of your network device, then insert the BlueOptics SFP module into the SFP port until it seats firmly. Connect LC (UPC) fiber connectors to the module following correct transmit/receive alignment. After connection, verify link status and configured interface speed on the host device and perform any required network configuration such as VLAN or interface activation. For removal, follow device guidelines to avoid damaging the module or ports.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment; protect the LC connector with dust caps when not in use. Match fiber type and connector polarity when planning links, and monitor link status after installation. Use the module within the specified environmental and electrical limits of your host equipment to ensure the stated lifetime and reliability.
