SFP transceiver module BlueOptics AC-SFP-LX-E-70-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics AC-SFP-LX-E-70-BO is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber links. It supports a data rate up to 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at a wavelength of 1550 nm, enabling long-range connectivity up to 80,000 meters when used with appropriate fiber and network equipment. The module uses an LC fiber connector, fits standard SFP slots, and comes in a silver housing with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. The device is CE, FCC and RoHS compliant and is suitable for use in network media conversion and fiber optic Ethernet applications.

Advantages

The transceiver offers long-reach performance at 1550 nm while maintaining a small SFP form factor compatible with many switches and media converters. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a small 20 g weight, it provides a balance of throughput and compactness. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards ensures regulatory conformity and environmental considerations are met. The LC connector and standard SFP interface simplify installation and replacement in existing fiber networks.

Suitable for

• Extending single-mode fiber links over long distances (up to 80 km)
• 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet and legacy Gigabit network segments
• Integration into switches, routers and media converters with SFP ports
• Telecommunications and campus backbone fiber connections

How to use

Power down the host device or follow hot-swap instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer before inserting the SFP module. Align the LC connector with the fiber patch cord and gently insert the module into an available SFP slot until it clicks into place. Configure the host device to recognize the module and set interface parameters according to network requirements. Verify link status and perform link tests to confirm optical power and data transmission are within expected ranges.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber cabling rated for long-distance transmission and ensure connectors and patch cords are clean to prevent signal loss. Match transceiver specifications (wavelength and data rate) with peer devices and verify optical budget for the intended link length. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid touching optical interfaces.
