SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-BX4D-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1490 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-BX4D-BO is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber networks. It supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates with a 1490 nm receiver wavelength, using an SFP form factor and LC simplex connector. The module is CE, FCC and RoHS compliant and weighs approximately 20 g, providing a lightweight option for upgrades or replacements in compatible network hardware.

Advantages

The module offers a small-footprint SFP form factor compatible with MSA-compliant SFP slots and supports long-distance single-mode transmission. Built with industry-standard optical components, the transceiver is suitable for mixed-vendor environments and supports common protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet up to 1.25 Gbit/s. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards ensures regulatory conformity and reduced environmental risk.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-BX4D-BO into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the manufacturer's hot-swap guidance. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cord between this transceiver and the opposite-end transceiver, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive wavelengths. Verify link status via the host device interface and confirm that the port is configured for the required protocol and speed.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber patch cords and, where available, a compatible patch panel to obtain optimal range and signal quality. Confirm the host device supports the remote Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) feature if real-time transceiver metrics are required. Follow ESD precautions during handling and avoid bending fibers beyond their specified minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity.
