SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 740-072491-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 740-072491-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic interface designed for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a single-mode reach up to 40,000 m, this silver-coloured SFP module provides a lightweight option for adding fiber connectivity to switches, routers and media converters. With a standardized LC connector and an SFP form factor, it fits hot-pluggable slots and enables long-distance optical links while keeping footprint and weight to a minimum.

Advantages

The module delivers a predictable data rate of up to 1250 Mbit/s and supports long-distance transmission up to 40 km, reducing the need for intermediate repeaters. Its SFP form factor and LC connector ensure broad compatibility with networking equipment that accepts SFP transceivers. The device is lightweight (approximately 20 g) and rated with a high mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, supporting stable operation in permanently deployed network segments.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over single-mode fiber links up to 40 km
• Installing fiber ports in switches, routers and media converters with SFP slots
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP modules to maintain 1.25 Gbit/s optical links
• Industrial or enterprise backbone connections requiring long reach and compact modules

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on compatible networking equipment while the host device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap guidance. Connect a single-mode fiber cable terminated with LC connectors to the module's duplex port, observing transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation the host device should detect the module and negotiate link parameters automatically; verify link status in the switch or router management interface and confirm optical levels and link speed.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber cabling rated for long-reach applications and keep connector endfaces clean to ensure reliable optical performance. Match the transceiver with compatible SFP-capable equipment and check vendor guidance for supported modules. For optimal lifetime, avoid excessive handling, secure fiber routing to prevent bend radius violations, and monitor link health periodically.
