SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 551078-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 551078-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for data links with a maximum transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact silver SFP form factor, the module provides a standard interface for easy insertion into compatible networking equipment. Built to industry compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS, and specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, it is intended for reliable point-to-point fiber connections in enterprise and carrier networks.

Advantages

The compact SFP form factor allows simple hot-pluggable installation in switches, routers and media converters. Support for a 1250 Mbit/s data rate makes the module suitable for many legacy and current fiber links where gigabit-speed serial transmission is required. A silver, metalized housing contributes to thermal dissipation and mechanical stability. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards ensures compatibility with regulatory and environmental requirements.

Suitable for

• Short- and medium-distance fiber uplinks in LAN and campus networks
• Interconnecting switches, routers and media converters with SFP ports
• Replacing or expanding existing fiber ports in managed network equipment
• Industrial and enterprise applications requiring a durable, compact transceiver

How to use

Power down is not required for most hot-pluggable SFP slots; align the module with the SFP cage and slide it gently until it clicks into place. Confirm the link status using the host device's LEDs or management interface and ensure the correct fiber patch cables and connectors are used for the intended link type. If removal is necessary, unlock the retention latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the host port. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for handling electrostatic-sensitive components and avoid touching optical interfaces.

Recommendations

Use single-mode or multi-mode fiber and connectors appropriate to the linked equipment and distance; verify optical and link budgets for reliable operation. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and protect connector endfaces from dust and contamination by using protective caps when modules are not in use.
