SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-BXD43-40KM-PT-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-BXD43-40KM-PT-BO is a compact metal-housed SFP transceiver module designed for fiber-optic network links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is RoHS-compliant. The module’s small form-factor pluggable (SFP) interface enables easy hot-swap installation in compatible switches, routers and media converters, while the metal housing provides mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standard SFP interface for wide compatibility with networking equipment that accepts SFP modules. With a rated transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s it is suitable for common gigabit fiber applications that use SFP physical layers. The metal enclosure improves durability and heat dissipation compared with plastic housings, and RoHS compliance ensures it meets common environmental directives. Its lightweight design (0.2 kg) simplifies handling and installation in rack-mounted or field devices.

How to use

Install the module by inserting it into an appropriate SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place. Ensure the device is powered according to the host equipment instructions; many SFP-enabled devices support hot swapping so the module can be inserted or removed without shutting down the system. Connect the fiber-optic cable to the transceiver’s optical port using the correct connector type and polarity. Verify link status through the host device’s management interface or status LEDs to confirm successful negotiation at the supported data rate.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver by its edges and avoid touching the optical interfaces. Keep protective caps on the optical ports when the module is not in use to prevent contamination. Use compatible fiber types and connectors as specified by the network design and follow ESD safety procedures during installation and removal.
