SFP transceiver module BlueOptics GMFIBER-SFP-500-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics GMFIBER-SFP-500-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s single‑module links. Housed in a durable silver metal enclosure and weighing 20 g, the module conforms to SFP form-factor standards and supports LC duplex connections for multimode fiber. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, it is intended for stable data transmission in network equipment that supports SFP 1000Base-SX type optics.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a compact SFP interface with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a lightweight metal housing for mechanical robustness. Compliance with MSA-defined SFP specifications ensures electrical and mechanical interoperability with compatible hardware. The module’s high MTBF rating contributes to long operating times and reduced maintenance frequency. Its LC duplex connection supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels over multimode fiber.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics GMFIBER-SFP-500-BO into a compatible SFP slot while the host device is powered off or following the manufacturer’s hot‑swap advisories. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly aligned between link endpoints. Verify link status via the host device management interface and confirm supported data rate and DDM/DOM capabilities if available in the host hardware.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords rated for short‑reach 1000Base‑SX operation and avoid sharp bends or mechanical strain on fiber connectors. Confirm that the target switch, router or storage system supports third‑party SFP optics and, if required, enable digital diagnostics monitoring through the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.
