SFP transceiver module BlueOptics HFBR5710LP-BO Fiber optic LC

The BlueOptics HFBR5710LP-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module with an LC duplex connector designed for reliable 1000Base-SX optical links over multimode fiber. Constructed in an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 g, this compact SFP module supports Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-speed protocols, providing up to 1.25 Gbit/s data rate and multimode reach suitable for short-range connections. The module uses 850 nm transmitter and receiver optics and complies with MSA mechanical specifications for hot-pluggable SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides standardized SFP form-factor compatibility and LC duplex connectivity for straightforward installation in compatible switches, routers and storage devices. Built with components that meet industry MSA standards, it supports 1000Base-SX class performance with low power consumption and aluminium casing for effective heat dissipation. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability is available when supported by the host hardware, enabling real-time monitoring of voltage, laser bias current, output/input optical power and module temperature.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the host device supports 1000Base-SX SFP modules and, if DDM/DOM is required, that the platform exposes diagnostic functions. Handle the transceiver by its housing; avoid touching the optical interfaces and keep protective dust caps in place until connection. Insert the BlueOptics HFBR5710LP-BO into a compatible SFP slot until it latches, then connect LC duplex multimode patch cords to the transmit and receive ports. Configure the device interface settings in the host system as required for Gigabit Ethernet and verify link status using the switch or router management interface. For removal, power down or administratively disable the port if recommended by the host vendor, then unlatch and extract the transceiver while replacing dust caps on the module and cable ends.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable optical links, use high-quality multimode fiber and LC patch cords matched to the desired reach and fiber type (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4). Confirm firmware and software compatibility with the host device before deployment and monitor DDM parameters where available to detect degradation in power, temperature or voltage early.
