SFP transceiver module BlueOptics B242-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics B242-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic SFP transceiver is a compact module designed for fiber-based network links requiring a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a metal casing with a silver finish, this SFP transceiver uses a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 20 g, making it suitable for installation in compatible network switches, routers and media converters where a small form-factor pluggable solution is required. The module supports standard SFP interfaces and is intended for reliable single-channel optical data transmission.

Advantages

The metal housing provides robust mechanical protection and helps with thermal dissipation during continuous operation. At 1250 Mbit/s throughput and an industry-standard SFP interface, the module offers straightforward compatibility with devices that accept SFP transceivers. Its compact size and light weight facilitate dense port configurations and make replacement or field upgrades easy without significant weight or space impact.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics B242-BO into a compatible SFP port according to the host device manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the module is fully seated and any retention mechanism is engaged. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable and verify link status through the network device's diagnostics or LEDs. The transceiver operates from the host's 3.3 V supply and requires no separate power connection. For removal, power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor, then disengage the latch and gently extract the module.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with the target device's supported SFP types and optical specifications before installation. Observe ESD precautions and keep dust caps on unused ports to protect optical interfaces. Use appropriately rated fiber cables and maintain connector cleanliness to preserve signal quality and avoid degradation of the 1250 Mbit/s link.
