SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 808-38211-BO 850 nm 550 m

The BlueOptics 808-38211-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact 1.25G optical module designed for multimode fiber links. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, it supports data transmission distances up to 550 meters and uses an LC duplex fiber connector. The module conforms to the SFP form factor, weighs approximately 20 g and is intended for integration into network equipment that accepts SFP 1000Base-SX optics.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a standardized SFP interface for easy hot-plug installation and broad interoperability with network switches, routers and storage systems that support 1000Base-SX optics. Its multimode 850 nm optical design enables short- to medium-range links up to 550 m over appropriate multimode fiber, while the LC duplex connector allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The lightweight, compact SFP form factor simplifies deployment in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short- and medium-distance Ethernet links over multimode fiber (up to 550 m)
• 1000Base-SX connections in switches and routers
• Server and storage interconnects requiring SFP optics
• Patch panel or direct transceiver-to-transceiver fiber connections using LC duplex cables

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on the network device while the device is powered according to the host equipment's guidelines, then connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable between transceivers or to a patch panel. Ensure the host device supports 1000Base-SX SFP optics and, if required, enable or verify support for digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) within the equipment. Follow normal electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and keep dust caps on the optical interface until the fiber cable is connected.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 where applicable) and LC duplex patch cords of appropriate polish and attenuation. Verify compatibility with the target hardware vendor and ensure firmware or configuration permits third-party SFP modules if necessary. Regularly inspect connectors and clean endfaces to maintain signal quality.
