SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 400984-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 400984-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic interface designed for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a silver SFP form factor, this module supports multimode fiber connections via an LC connector and is specified for optical transmission distances up to 550 m. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight build of approximately 20 g, the module provides a space-saving solution for network switches, media converters and other SFP-compatible equipment requiring reliable short-range fiber connectivity.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 400984-BO offers a standard SFP form factor for hot-pluggable installation, enabling straightforward replacement or upgrades without system downtime. Its LC fiber connector and support for up to 550 m transmission distance make it suitable for short to medium multimode fiber links. The module's specified MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and its compact, silver-coloured metal housing contribute to dependable operation and effective heat dissipation in rack-mounted or embedded network devices.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links within buildings and data centers
• 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and media converters
• Hot-swappable replacements in SFP slots of network equipment
• Fiber connections between network devices in office and campus environments

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 400984-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect an LC-terminated multimode fiber patch cable to the LC port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status through the host device's port LEDs or management interface and configure the port for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet operation if required. To remove the module, power down the port if recommended by the device vendor or follow hot-swap procedures, then press the release latch and pull the module straight out.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber cable consistent with the 550 m distance rating and maintain clean LC connectors to ensure optimal signal quality. Follow the host device manufacturer’s guidance for SFP compatibility and hot-swap procedures, and store unused modules in protective packaging to prevent contamination or mechanical damage.
