SFP transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-5701APZ-BC 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics AFBR-5701APZ-BC is an SFP transceiver module engineered for short-reach fiber optic links. It supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and uses an 850 nm VCSEL light source, making it suitable for multimode fiber environments and common SFP interfaces. The compact small form-factor pluggable design allows easy hot-swap installation in compatible network equipment, providing a standard option for link upgrades and replacements.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a standardized SFP interface for broad compatibility with switches, routers and other networking hardware that accept SFP modules. With operation at 850 nm and support for 1250 Mbit/s, it delivers reliable short-distance optical transmission for data center and enterprise applications. The module’s compact form factor and hot-pluggable capability simplify installation and maintenance without requiring equipment downtime.

Suitable for

• Short-reach multimode fiber links in data centers
• Ethernet networks requiring 1.25 Gbit/s-class optical ports
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports on switches and routers
• Server uplinks and storage area network connections over multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Compatibility: multimode fiber (MMF) environments
• Connector type: standard LC duplex-style receptacle (industry standard SFP)
• Hot-pluggable design for in-service replacement

How to use

Power off is not required for insertion or removal when the host device supports hot swapping. Insert the module into an available SFP slot on the network device until it seats firmly; secure fiber connections with appropriate multimode fiber patch cables terminated with LC connectors. Verify link status and speed in the host device management interface after physical installation. Follow any vendor-specific configuration steps on switches or routers to enable the optical port and set appropriate interface parameters.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords that match the module’s 850 nm operating wavelength and maintain recommended fiber type and insertion loss budgets. Handle the optical interfaces with dust caps when not connected, and avoid exposing the transceiver to electrostatic discharge or mechanical shock during installation. Check compatibility lists for your network equipment to ensure proper operation.
