SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 3000-167-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver

The BlueOptics 3000-167-BO is an SFP fiber-optic transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a silver SFP form factor and weighing approximately 20 g, this module supports single-port optical connections using LC fiber connectors and can reach distances up to 10,000 m. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, it is intended for stable network interconnection in media converters, switches and other compatible networking equipment that accept standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers a compact SFP form factor for easy hot-plug installation and replacement in compatible ports. Its LC fiber optic connector and support for up to 10 km transmission distance enable flexible cabling in enterprise and campus networks. The silver housing and standard SFP dimensions ensure mechanical compatibility with a wide range of devices. A high MTBF rating indicates long operational life and reduced service interventions.

Suitable for

• Extending fiber links between switches and media converters
• Connecting network equipment over single-mode fiber up to 10 km
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports in managed and unmanaged switches
• Small and medium enterprise backbone and campus distribution

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers and is powered down or hot-swap capable per the device manual. Remove protective dust caps from the LC connector and the SFP cage, then insert the module into the SFP slot until it clicks into place. Terminate the LC fiber cable to the transceiver and secure any cable management. Verify link status and speed on the host device; the module supports a 1.25 Gbit/s link when the connected equipment is compatible. For removal, unlock the transceiver latch and pull the module straight out, replacing dust caps to protect the fiber interface.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber cabling with appropriate LC connectors and observe bend radius and cleanliness best practices for optical connectors. Match the transceiver's optical parameters and link budget with the connected device and fiber type to ensure reliable communication up to the stated 10 km distance. Store unused modules with dust caps in a dry environment and handle the LC connector by the boot to avoid contamination.
