SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 500SSM41 R0001-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 500SSM41 R0001-BO SFP transceiver module provides a compact interface for single-mode fiber links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Designed to the SFP MSA form factor, the module features an LC (UPC) duplex connector, a silver housing, and an operating voltage of 3.3 V. With a maximum supported link distance of up to 40,000 m and small physical dimensions (13.9 mm × 58.4 mm × 12.6 mm), this transceiver is suitable for network equipment that accepts SFP pluggable optics and is compatible with Hitachi hardware that supports the original module type.

Advantages

The module supports 1000BASE-LH optical transmission over single-mode fiber and allows simultaneous transmit and receive operation via LC duplex connections. Compliance with SFP MSA mechanical and electrical specifications ensures interoperability with a range of switches, routers and storage systems. The transceiver is specified for long-reach applications up to 40 km and provides a standardized 3.3 V interface for straightforward integration.

Suitable for

• Long-reach Ethernet links up to 40 km over single-mode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in Hitachi-compatible network equipment
• Applications requiring LC (UPC) duplex connections

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot while the host device is powered on or according to the host manufacturer’s hot-swap guidance. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module’s LC (UPC) ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device firmware and port configuration match the intended protocol (e.g., 1000BASE-LH or Gigabit Ethernet). Monitor link status indicators on the host device and verify optical power and link integrity after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance performance, use high-quality single-mode patch cords and maintain clean connector endfaces. Confirm that the target hardware supports the equivalent SFP type and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on compatible systems to track supply voltage, temperature, laser bias current and optical power for proactive maintenance.
