SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 740-072492-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 740-072492-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 transmission distance up to 40,000 m, this silver-coloured SFP fits standard SFP ports and provides a lightweight, space-saving solution for extending optical network connections. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a weight of just 20 grams, the module is intended for reliable, long-term use in network environments where compact form factor and fiber LC connectivity are required.

Advantages

The module combines a compact SFP form factor with single-mode LC connectivity, allowing straightforward insertion into compatible network devices without additional cabling complexity. Its 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet interface supports standard data rates for many optical networking applications while the long maximum transfer distance enables links across extended site layouts. The low weight and silver housing simplify handling and installation, and the high MTBF indicates sustained operational reliability.

Suitable for

• Extending single-mode fiber links between network switches and routers
• Data center uplinks where compact SFP modules are required
• Long-distance optical connections within campus or metropolitan networks
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP transceivers with LC connector interfaces

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the device manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the LC fiber connector is clean and properly aligned before connecting to the module. After physical installation, verify link status and configure the host device's interface settings as required for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet operation. Follow normal hot‑swap precautions if inserting or removing the module while the host device remains powered.

Recommendations

To ensure stable optical performance, use single-mode fiber rated for the intended distance and keep LC connectors clean and protected with dust caps when not in use. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware and consult vendor documentation for any required settings or transceiver acceptance lists. For long-term reliability, avoid mechanical strain on connected fibers and maintain appropriate ambient operating conditions as specified by the network equipment manufacturer.
