SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 740-031852-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 740-031852-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic interface designed for Gigabit Ethernet links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a maximum reach of up to 40,000 m over suitable single-mode fiber, this silver-coloured module offers a lightweight, hot-pluggable solution for extending network segments or connecting switches, routers and media converters. Its LC fiber connector and compact SFP form factor make it compatible with a wide range of networking equipment that accepts standard SFP modules.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides stable optical connectivity with a long MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, indicating reliable continuous operation. The module's low weight (20 g) and standardized SFP form factor simplify installation and replacement. With an LC connector and support for Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1250 Mbit/s, it supports long-distance links without additional active components when used with appropriate fiber and equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers over single‑mode fiber for long-distance links
• Extending network segments between buildings or data closets
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP ports in Gigabit Ethernet devices
• Integration with media converters and optical networking modules

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: 40,000 m (with appropriate single-mode fiber)
• Ethernet interface type: Gigabit Ethernet
• Fiber optic connector: LC
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Power down the SFP-enabled device or follow the manufacturer's hot-swap procedure before inserting the module. Align the LC connector of a prepared fiber patch cable with the module's port and gently insert until it clicks into place. Configure the host device for the appropriate link speed and duplex settings if required; most compatible equipment will detect the module automatically. To remove, release any retention mechanism and withdraw the module while observing ESD precautions and protecting fiber endfaces from contamination.

Recommendations

Use clean, certified single-mode fiber for links approaching the maximum transfer distance and inspect or clean LC connectors before installation. Observe ESD handling procedures and avoid bending fiber beyond its minimum bend radius. Verify compatibility with the host device's supported SFP modules and firmware to ensure optimal operation.
