SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 37973096 Fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 37973096 Fiber optic SFP transceiver module is designed for optical network links requiring a compact, hot-pluggable form factor and a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Finished in silver and weighing 20 g, the module provides a standardized SFP interface for easy integration into switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP pluggable transceivers. The transceiver supports single-lane optical connectivity suitable for short- to medium-reach fiber links in enterprise and carrier networks.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact SFP interface that enables hot-swappable installation without powering down equipment. With a specified maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s it supports common optical Ethernet and fiber channel applications that require reliable, carrier-grade data throughput. The lightweight, metal-bodied silver housing aids heat dissipation and mechanical stability while maintaining compatibility with standard SFP cages and connectors.

Suitable for

• Optical uplinks between switches and routers
• Fiber connections for media converters and patch panels
• Short- to medium-reach links in campus or data center environments
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP ports to fiber-based links

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 20 g
• Form factor: Hot-pluggable optical transceiver

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter by aligning the module with the slot and gently pushing until it clicks into place. Connect appropriate fiber optic cable and connectors to the transceiver port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Monitor link status via the host device LED indicators or management interface to confirm successful negotiation at the intended data rate. To remove, depress the release mechanism and pull the module straight out while the system is powered if supported by the host device.

Recommendations

Use factory-cleaned fiber connectors and follow standard ESD precautions during handling. Ensure the host device supports SFP modules with a 1250 Mbit/s data rate and verify optical connector type and fiber grade to match desired reach and performance.
