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

The BlueOptics SFP-850-BO is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module engineered for multimode optical links up to 1250 Mbit/s. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength and housed in a metal casing with a silver finish, the module accepts a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g. It uses an LC duplex interface for transmit and receive over multimode fiber and follows industry SFP form-factor conventions for hot-pluggable use in compatible switches, routers and storage devices.

Advantages

The module provides a compact, lightweight solution for 1000Base-SX class optical connections with support for simultaneous transmit and receive channels via LC duplex connectors. Its metal housing offers mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding, while the 3.3 V operating voltage matches standard SFP power requirements. The 850 nm wavelength and 1250 Mbit/s transfer rate are suitable for typical short-range multimode fiber deployments.

How to use

Insert the SFP-850-BO into a compatible SFP socket on a switch, router or other networking equipment while the host device is powered on or off according to the host manufacturer’s guidance. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Ensure the host port is configured for the intended network protocol (for example 1000Base-SX) and verify link status through the device management interface. When removing the module, power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor and use protective caps on the transceiver ports to avoid contamination.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber rated for the intended distance and bandwidth (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 as appropriate) and keep fiber connectors clean to maintain signal quality. Confirm compatibility with your host hardware and firmware; enable any required port settings for 1000Base-SX operation and, if available, use digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) features to monitor voltage, optical power and temperature for proactive maintenance.
