SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 551079-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 551079-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic SFP transceiver module is a compact hot-pluggable unit designed for single-port fiber connections in network equipment. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and delivered in a silver housing, this SFP form-factor module provides an interoperable interface for equipment that accepts small form-factor pluggable transceivers. With a rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS directives, the module is intended for stable optical links in switches, routers and media converters that require Gigabit-compatible serial optical connections.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP module offers a standardized SFP interface for easy insertion and removal without powering down the host device. Its specified maximum throughput of 1250 Mbit/s matches common Gigabit Ethernet, fibre channel and serial optical applications, while the compact silver metal housing contributes to efficient rack and chassis installation. The long MTBF figure and regulatory compliance indicate a product engineered for reliable, long-term operation in professional network environments.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or repairing SFP-enabled switches, routers and media converters
• Establishing short- to medium-range fiber optic links where 1250 Mbit/s throughput is required
• Integrating into network infrastructure that requires hot-pluggable SFP modules
• Replacing failed transceivers in data centers, enterprise networks and branch offices

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers and that the optical connector type and fiber specifications match your link requirements. Power down the host equipment if recommended by the manufacturer, align the SFP module with the SFP cage and slide it into the socket until it locks. Connect the appropriate fiber cable to the transceiver port and configure link settings on the network device as needed. For hot-swap capable systems, the module may be inserted or removed while the device is powered on, following the host vendor's procedures.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a dust-free environment and use protective caps when the module is not connected. Verify link parameters and optical budget for the intended cable plant and replace the module if any physical damage or degraded performance is observed. Follow vendor guidelines for firmware and compatibility lists to ensure optimal operation.
