SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 2891767-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 2891767-BO SFP transceiver module provides fiber optic connectivity with a compact SFP form factor and support for a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Designed for use in network media converters, switches and routers with SFP ports, this module uses an LC fiber optic connector and supports single-mode links up to 40,000 m. Its silver housing and lightweight construction make it suitable for dense installation environments where space and weight are constrained. A high MTBF of 1,000,000 hours indicates a focus on continuous operation and long service life.

Advantages

The module delivers a stable 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet interface in a standard SFP footprint, enabling easy hot-swap replacement and compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP transceivers. The LC connector provides a compact duplex fiber interface that is widely used and easy to terminate. With a rated maximum transfer distance of 40 km, the transceiver supports longer point-to-point and metro links without intermediate repeaters. Its low weight and silver metal housing contribute to robust mounting and thermal performance in rack and chassis environments.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Network media converters requiring SFP transceiver modules
• Long-reach point-to-point fiber connections up to 40 km
• Replacement or expansion of SFP-capable networking equipment

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers and matches the operating parameters required for single-mode fiber and 1.25 Gbit/s links. Power down or follow the host equipment's hot-swap procedure, insert the BlueOptics SFP module into the SFP port until it seats firmly, and secure any retention mechanism present. Connect LC-terminated fiber cables to the module's LC connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation, verify link status on the host device and confirm proper data transmission and signal levels using the host management interface or test equipment.

Recommendations

Use factory-terminated LC single-mode patch cables of appropriate fiber type and quality. Avoid bending fiber near the connector, protect transceiver ports from dust with protective caps when not in use, and allow the transceiver to operate within recommended temperature and environmental ranges specified by your network equipment vendor. For critical links, verify link parameters and monitor performance periodically to ensure reliable long-distance operation.
