SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-BXD43-20KM-ME-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-BXD43-20KM-ME-BO is a metal-housed SFP transceiver module designed for single-port fiber optic connections. It supports an interface type SFP and provides a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s while maintaining a compact form factor and a device weight of 20 g. The module is intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers or media converters to establish fiber-based links up to the distances supported by the optical design.

Advantages

The metal housing provides mechanical robustness and improved heat dissipation compared with plastic enclosures. Support for the standardized SFP interface ensures wide compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP transceivers. The specified 1250 Mbit/s data rate covers typical legacy and basic gigabit-compatible serial fiber links, and the lightweight design simplifies handling and installation in dense rack environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the network device is powered down or follows hot-swap guidelines from the equipment manufacturer before inserting the transceiver. Align the SFP module with the device SFP slot and gently insert until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the module's port, observing the correct transmitter and receiver orientation. After insertion and cable connection, verify link status via the host device's interface and configure port settings as required for the intended link parameters.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a static-safe environment and use dust caps when the module is not connected. Verify compatibility with the host device and the required optical specifications for distance and wavelength before deployment. Follow manufacturer guidelines for hot-plugging and ensure proper cable polishing and connector cleanliness to maintain link quality.
