SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 37973037-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics 37973037-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact optical module for single-mode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module uses the SFP form factor with an LC duplex connector and is designed for 3.3 V operation. Certified for ESD, EMI and laser safety, this transceiver is intended for integration into network equipment that supports standard SFP modules and delivers point-to-point optical connectivity over long distances.

Advantages

The module provides stable 1.25 Gbit/s class performance in a small SFP form factor and is compatible with systems that accept MSA-compliant SFP transceivers. Its silver housing and lightweight design (approx. 0.2 kg packaging weight) simplify handling and installation. ESD and EMI safeguards together with laser safety certification support reliable operation in typical network environments. The 1310 nm wavelength and LC duplex interface enable simultaneous transmit and receive channels over single-mode fiber.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Backbone links and long-reach links over single-mode fiber
• Use in switches, routers, storage systems and network appliances with SFP slots
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP transceivers operating at 1310 nm

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the powered-off device or follow the device manufacturer's hot-plug instructions if supported. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable with correct polarity to the module's connector, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are matched. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and configures the link speed to 1.25 Gbit/s. Observe manufacturer guidelines for handling ESD-sensitive components and avoid touching optical interfaces or exposing them to dust.

Recommendations

For optimal link performance and lifetime, use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach applications and high-quality LC patch cords. Ensure proper cleaning of optical connectors before mating and confirm that the host device supports the module's DDM/DOM features if digital diagnostics are required. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and operate the module within the host's specified temperature and voltage ranges.
