SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 55110507201-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 55110507201-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic interface designed for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a silver SFP form factor and weighing approximately 20 g, this transceiver supports single-mode or multimode fiber links up to 550 m depending on fiber type and system configuration. The module complies with CE, FCC and RoHS standards and is rated with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, making it suitable for integration into switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP footprint for easy hot-plug installation and replacement in compatible network equipment. With a 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet interface and LC fiber connector, it offers industry-standard connectivity for short- to medium-range fiber links. Its silver metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and helps with EMI shielding while the RoHS, CE and FCC compliance ensures adherence to common regulatory and safety requirements.

Suitable for

• Replacing or upgrading SFP slots in switches and routers
• Connecting fiber links between media converters and distribution equipment
• Establishing point-to-point connections in campus and building backbone networks
• Short- to medium-range fiber runs up to 550 m (depending on fiber type)

How to use

Before installation, verify that the host device supports SFP modules and that the module is compatible with the intended network equipment. Power down the equipment if recommended by the vendor, then insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot until it seats firmly; many systems also permit hot-plugging while powered. Terminate fiber cables with LC connectors and connect them to the transceiver ports, ensuring correct fiber type and polarity. After physical connection, configure link parameters on the switch or router as needed and monitor link status indicators to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use appropriate fiber patch cords with LC connectors and verify fiber type (single-mode or multimode) to achieve the specified reach. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables, and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. Store unused transceivers in protective caps and keep them free from dust when not installed.
