SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 942 208-001-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 942 208-001-BO SFP transceiver module is a single-mode fiber optic SFP designed for 1000BASE-BX-U applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. It features an LC (UPC) simplex connector and supports point-to-point optical links up to 40,000 m. The module is delivered in a compact SFP form factor with a silver housing and operates from a 3.3 V supply, making it compatible with Hirschmann equipment and other systems that accept MSA-compliant SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module follows MSA specifications and is engineered to provide reliable optical transmission over long distances with low electromagnetic interference susceptibility. Its LC simplex connector and single-fiber bi-directional design simplify cabling for BX-U deployments. Built from industry-grade optical and electronic components, the transceiver offers extended operational lifetime and stable performance for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications up to 1.25 Gbit/s.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links up to 40 km
• 1000BASE-BX-U point-to-point connections
• Switches, routers and storage systems that support SFP modules
• Network upgrades requiring MSA-compliant optical transceivers

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or optical interface following the host device manufacturer’s procedures for hot-pluggable modules. Use a matching LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cord wired for BX operation to connect the module to the remote transceiver, taking care to mate transmit and receive wavelengths correctly. Ensure the host device recognizes the module and, if required, enable any digital diagnostic monitoring features supported by the hardware. Observe ESD precautions during handling and avoid excessive bending of the fiber cable to maintain link quality.

Recommendations

Verify that the target device supports SFP modules and the 1000BASE-BX-U protocol. For optimal range and signal quality use single-mode fiber and quality LC (UPC) patch cords. If digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) are required, confirm that the host provides DDM support to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, receive power and temperature. Follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance and environmental operating conditions.
