SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 407-BBOR-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics 407-BBOR-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber-optic interface for multi-mode networks. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength. The module is designed to fit standard SFP slots and uses an LC duplex connector for transmit and receive over separate fiber strands. The module complies with RoHS and CE requirements and weighs approximately 20 g, making it suitable for integration in switches, routers and other network devices that accept standard SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module offers gigabit-class short-range optical transmission with a single-mode design for 850 nm multimode fibers, enabling reliable data links up to commonly supported distances for 1000Base-SX implementations. Its SFP form factor and MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications ensure interoperability with equipment that supports standard SFP transceivers. The low weight and compact size simplify installation and handling. Compliance with industry directives such as RoHS and CE provides conformity with safety and environmental regulations.

Suitable for

• Short-range fiber links in data centers and server rooms
• 1 Gbit/s Ethernet (1000Base-SX) connections over multimode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• Upgrades or replacements for compatible SFP-enabled hardware

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 407-BBOR-BO into an available SFP port on a compatible network device while the device is powered according to the hardware manufacturer's instructions or hot-plug where supported. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable between this transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring proper alignment of transmit and receive fibers. Verify link status and supported speed in the host device's management interface. If digital diagnostics are supported by the host, monitor optical parameters such as transmit/receive power and temperature to verify link health.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for best short-range performance and follow equipment vendor guidance on transceiver compatibility. Avoid bending or stressing fiber cables near the connector, keep dust caps on when unused, and ensure devices and firmware support the required SFP type and diagnostics features before deployment.
