SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 500SSM91 R0001-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 500SSM91 R0001-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP transceiver module is a compact plug-in optical module designed for use in SFP ports of network switches, routers and media converters. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is compatible with Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The module uses an LC fiber optic connector, has a compact SFP form factor and comes in a silver finish. With a rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight build of approximately 20 g, it is intended for reliable fiber links over extended distances up to 160,000 m under appropriate conditions.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP transceiver offers a standardized SFP form factor for easy hot-plug installation and interoperability with common networking equipment from different vendors. Its LC connector and Gigabit Ethernet compatibility provide a straightforward fiber interface for single-mode or compatible fiber runs. Low weight and a silver housing support dense deployment in racks and media converter setups, while the specified MTBF indicates long-term operational reliability in stable environments.

Suitable for

• Extending network links between switches and routers using fiber
• Connection to media converters and fiber-capable network modules
• Point-to-point fiber links requiring up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Environments where compact SFP modules are required for hot-swap maintenance

How to use

Power down the host device or follow the manufacturer's hot-swap procedure, then insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port until it seats firmly. Connect the LC-terminated fiber cable to the module's LC connector, ensuring correct polarity and secure latching. Configure the host interface for the required link speed and duplex settings if necessary; many modern devices will auto-negotiate when the module and link partner support it. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm an active optical connection.

Recommendations

Use compatible single-mode or multimode fiber where specified by your network design, keep dust caps on the LC connector when the module is not in use, and follow ESD precautions when handling the module. Verify fiber type and transceiver specifications before deployment to ensure the desired reach and performance.
