SFP transceiver module BlueOptics EX-SFP-GE40KT15R13-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics EX-SFP-GE40KT15R13-BO 1250 Mbit/s is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for single-port Gigabit Ethernet links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a maximum transfer distance of up to 40,000 m using LC fiber connectors. The compact SFP form factor and silver housing make it compatible with many switches, routers and media converters that accept standard SFP modules. With a rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight 20 g construction, this module is intended for stable long-distance optical connections in networking environments.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides a standardized 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet interface in an industry-standard SFP form factor, allowing straightforward hot-plug installation in compatible ports. The LC fiber connector and long reach capability support single-mode deployments over extended distances up to 40 km. The silver metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and thermal dissipation while the low weight simplifies handling and installation. The module's MTBF rating indicates suitability for continuous operation in infrastructure applications.

How to use

Power down the host device or follow the vendor's hot-swap procedure before inserting the transceiver. Align the SFP module with the host SFP socket and gently push it into the slot until it seats and the retention latch engages. Connect a compatible LC-terminated single-mode fiber cable to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation, verify link status and configure the host interface as required (speed/duplex and optical settings) through the network device management interface.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment and avoid touching the fiber connector end faces to prevent contamination. Use dust caps when the module is not connected. Ensure fiber type and transceiver wavelength are matched across the link and verify that the host device supports third-party SFP modules if required by firmware or vendor policy.
