SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-502-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-502-BO is an SFP fiber-optic transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s) data transmission over multimode fiber using an 850 nm wavelength. Housed in a compact metal enclosure and weighing approximately 3 g, the module supports standard SFP interfaces and operates at 3.3 V input voltage. It uses an LC duplex connection and is produced to meet MSA-compatible form-factor requirements for easy integration into switches, routers and other networking equipment that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP-502-BO provides gigabit-capable short-range optical connectivity with a compact metal housing for mechanical durability and thermal stability. Its 850 nm transmitter and receiver pair is optimized for multimode fiber links, enabling reliable data transfer up to typical multimode distances. The module is lightweight and hot-pluggable, simplifying installation and replacement without powering down supported equipment. Built to conform with MSA SFP specifications, it is compatible with a wide range of network devices that support standard SFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links in LAN and data center environments
• Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over short-distance multimode connections
• Integration into switches, routers, storage systems and media converters that accept SFP modules

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-502-BO into an empty SFP port of a compatible switch, router or other network device while the device is powered on if the equipment supports hot-plugging. Connect matched LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver and to the remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status through the host device interface and confirm support for 1.25 Gbit/s operation. If required by the host, enable any necessary port settings such as speed, duplex, and auto-negotiation in the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use appropriate OM-class multimode fiber and high-quality LC duplex patch cords for optimal signal performance. Ensure the host device firmware and hardware explicitly support MSA-compliant SFP transceivers and, where available, enable digital diagnostic monitoring support to observe supply voltage, optical power and temperature parameters for proactive maintenance.
