SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 3HE04116AA-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 3HE04116AA-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber-optic interface designed for insertion into SFP slots of switches, routers and media converters. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and enables single-fibre or multimode links using an LC connector. The module's small SFP form factor and lightweight metal housing make it suitable for dense rack installations where space and weight are important considerations.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides reliable optical connectivity with a high MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, ensuring extended operational life under typical network conditions. Its LC connector and support for distances up to 10,000 m allow flexible deployment across campus or metropolitan links. The silver metal casing assists with heat dissipation while the standardized SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with networking equipment that accepts 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers.

Suitable for

• Fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Media converters and fiber patch panels
• Campus and metropolitan area fiber links up to 10 km
• Dense port environments requiring compact SFP modules

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter with the LC port oriented to accept the fiber patch cable. Ensure the host device is powered down or supports hot-plugging according to its documentation before insertion or removal. Connect LC-terminated fiber cables to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation and appropriate fiber type for the link distance. After connection, verify link status and speed in the host device's management interface and monitor for proper optical levels.

Recommendations

Use certified singlemode or multimode fiber and LC connectors that match the module's specifications. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables, maintain clean connector endfaces, and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware and consult vendor documentation for supported SFP modules if interoperability issues arise.
