SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 3HE00868CA-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 3HE00868CA-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic module designed for single-mode networks with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module follows the SFP form factor and uses an LC (UPC) simplex connector. It operates from a 3.3 V input and draws up to 0.28 A, with physical dimensions of approximately 13.9 mm (W) × 58.4 mm (D) × 8.5 mm (H) and a weight of about 0.02 kg. The transceiver supports transmission over distances up to 20,000 m and is compatible with devices that accept Alcatel Nokia 3HE00868CA compatible SFP modules and MSA-compliant SFP interfaces.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 3HE00868CA-BO provides a standard SFP form factor that enables easy hot-plug installation into compatible networking equipment. Its single-mode LC connector and 1250 Mbit/s capability allow support for common Gigabit and legacy 1.25G optical applications over long distances up to 20 km. The module’s small size and low weight make it suitable for dense installations while the 3.3 V operation and modest current draw support efficient power usage. Compliance with MSA SFP dimensions and electrical characteristics ensures broad interoperability with hardware that supports equivalent Alcatel Nokia modules.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point fiber links over single-mode fiber up to 20 km
• Gigabit Ethernet and 1.25 Gbps legacy optical links
• Use in switches, routers, media converters and storage systems that accept SFP modules
• Network upgrades where a compact SFP transceiver with LC connector is required

How to use

Before insertion, verify that the host device supports SFP transceivers and that any required firmware or software settings allow the use of third-party SFP modules. Handle the transceiver by its housing and avoid touching the optical connector. Remove protective caps from the LC connector and the host port, then insert the module into the SFP slot until it latches. Connect a suitable single-mode LC patch cable to establish the optical link. When removing the module, first disable the port if supported, then depress the latch and pull the module straight out. Regularly inspect connectors and clean with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords of appropriate attenuation and quality, ensure mating transceivers support the same wavelength/channel plan, and confirm that the host device supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) if monitoring of voltage, laser bias current, output/receive power and temperature is required. Store unused modules with protective caps in a dry, dust-free environment and follow ESD precautions when handling.
