SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-6H-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-6H-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s) data transmission at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal enclosure and powered by a 3.3 V input, the compact module weighs approximately 3 g and uses an LC duplex connector for optical interfacing. It implements 1000BASE-LX functionality suitable for long-reach links and adheres to MSA form-factor standards for compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver offers stable high-speed transmission up to 1250 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber with LC duplex connectivity, and its metal housing supports reliable thermal performance and mechanical protection. Compatibility with standard SFP cages and MSA-compliant ports enables straightforward integration into switches, routers and other network devices. The module includes support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) where supported by host hardware, allowing remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature.

Suitable for

• Long-reach Gigabit Ethernet links (1000BASE-LX) over single-mode fiber
• Interconnecting switches, routers and storage systems in enterprise networks
• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in MSA-compliant networking equipment
• Environments requiring remote optical transceiver monitoring via DDM/DOM

How to use

Insert the SFP-6H-BO into an empty SFP slot of a compatible, powered-off or hot-swappable MSA-compliant port according to the host device instructions until it latches. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive alignment on both ends. Power the host device and verify link status in the network equipment management interface. If the host supports DDM/DOM, enable or query the diagnostic registers to monitor real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias, optical power and temperature. Follow your device vendor’s recommendations for handling ESD-sensitive components and observe safe fiber handling practices to avoid eye exposure to laser light.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex patch cords and, where possible, route fibers through protected conduits or patch panels to achieve optimal link quality and range. Verify host compatibility and software support for third-party SFP modules before deployment. For critical links, test modules in situ and, if available, enable DDM/DOM monitoring to track optical performance and detect degradations early.
