SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 852-1280-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 852-1280-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber-optic interface designed for network equipment that supports hot-pluggable SFP ports. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a lightweight silver metal housing, this module provides a straightforward solution for connecting switches, routers and media converters to single-mode or multimode fiber links where compatible optics are required. The module's form factor and industry-standard SFP interface make it suitable for upgrades and replacements in existing network setups.

Advantages

The module offers a standard SFP interface that enables easy hot-swap installation without powering down equipment. Its rated transfer speed of 1250 Mbit/s supports common fiber-based Ethernet and WAN applications. The small, 20 g design and durable silver housing reduce space and weight impact in rack-mounted or blade systems. The BlueOptics module is compatible with typical SFP slots on a wide range of networking devices, providing predictable physical and electrical characteristics for reliable optical connections.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in switches and routers
• Connecting network devices to fiber-optic links at up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Use in media converters and small form-factor transceivers
• Temporary or permanent fiber patch installations where SFP modules are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Weight: 0.02 kg (20 g)
• Product colour: Silver

How to use

Before installation, verify that the target device supports SFP modules and is compatible with the BlueOptics module's optical type. Insert the transceiver into an empty SFP slot until it clicks into place; for hot-pluggable systems, insertion can be performed without powering down the device. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cable to the transceiver, ensuring correct connector type and polarity. After installation, check link status LEDs and device interface settings to confirm a stable connection at the expected data rate.

Recommendations

Handle the optical interface with care and keep protective caps on when the module is not connected. Avoid touching the fiber end-face and store modules in anti-static packaging. Match the transceiver to the correct fiber type and connector standard to achieve optimal performance, and consult equipment documentation for any vendor-specific compatibility settings.
