SFP transceiver module BlueOptics AFCT-5701APZ-BC 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics AFCT-5701APZ-BC 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for fiber optic links. It supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at a wavelength of 1310 nm, offering stable single-mode fiber connectivity for mid-range distances and a variety of network equipment. The module follows standard SFP form-factor conventions and is intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports to enable fiber-based uplinks or point-to-point connections.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP interface for easy hot-plug installation and replacement. Operating at 1310 nm, it balances attenuation and distance for many single-mode fiber applications while supporting up to 1250 Mbit/s for legacy and serial optical links. Its compact form factor and interoperability with common networking devices simplify deployment in switches, routers and media converters.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber uplinks between network equipment
• Point-to-point fiber connections in enterprise and carrier networks
• Replacing or expanding SFP ports on switches and routers
• Media converters and optical link installations requiring 1310 nm

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Media type: single-mode fiber
• Connection: LC optical connector (standard for SFP fiber modules)

How to use

Power down the host device or follow the vendor's hot-swap procedure, then insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port until it seats securely. Connect a compatible single-mode fiber patch cable with LC connectors to the transceiver. Ensure the device firmware and port configuration match the module's speed and optical parameters. Monitor link status indicators on the host to confirm successful synchronization and data transfer.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch or router vendor's supported transceiver list and confirm that single-mode fiber of appropriate type and connector is used. Keep connectors clean and protected when not in use to maintain signal quality. For optimal results, match transmit and receive wavelengths and confirm link budget for the intended cable length.
