SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 740-020424-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver

The BlueOptics 740-020424-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic module designed for 1250 Mbit/s optical links. It uses an LC (UPC) connector for single-mode fiber and supports long-distance transmission up to 20,000 m. The module operates at 3.3 V, comes in a silver housing and is compatible with Juniper networking equipment that accepts this transceiver form factor and signaling.

Advantages

The module offers standardized SFP interoperability following MSA guidelines and a small form factor for easy hot-plug installation in switches, routers and other network devices. With a rated maximum transfer distance of 20 km and a throughput of 1250 Mbit/s, the transceiver is suitable for backbone and edge optical links where single-mode fiber is used. Its LC (UPC) connector supports simplex fiber connections and the low weight and compact dimensions enable flexible deployment in dense equipment racks.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber Ethernet links up to 20 km
• Juniper devices and other hardware compatible with standard SFP modules
• Network switch and router uplinks
• Point-to-point optical connections in enterprise and carrier networks

How to use

Power down the host device or follow the vendor's hot-swap procedure before inserting the SFP module into the SFP port. Align the LC connector with the corresponding fiber patch cable and plug in the module until it seats securely. Verify link status in the host device management interface and confirm supported data rate and diagnostics if available. To remove the module, release any retention mechanism and pull the transceiver straight out. Use a compatible LC (UPC) single-mode patch cord and observe proper fiber handling and cleanliness to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance operation, use single-mode patch cords and follow manufacturer guidelines for connector cleaning. Confirm host device compatibility with 1250 Mbit/s SFP transceivers and enable any available diagnostic monitoring in the device firmware to track link parameters and facilitate maintenance.
