SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-BXU35-20KM-AR-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-BXU35-20KM-AR-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-port network devices requiring reliable serial data links. Supporting a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s, this module fits standard SFP slots and provides optical transmission for distances up to 20 km. The transceiver comes in a metal housing with a silver finish and has a compact, lightweight form factor, making it suitable for rack-mounted and small-form-factor network equipment.

Advantages

The module offers a compact SFP form factor compatible with a wide range of switches and routers that accept SFP transceivers. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and optical reach up to 20 km, it supports long-distance links without intermediate amplification. The metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and thermal dissipation, and the low weight simplifies handling and installation. The specified mean time between failures (MTBF) indicates a design intended for continuous operation in network environments.

How to use

Power down the host device or follow hot-swap guidelines provided by the equipment manufacturer before inserting the SFP module into an empty SFP slot. Gently insert until it latches, and connect the appropriate single-mode fiber patch cable to the module’s optical port. Verify link status via the host device’s management interface and confirm correct transmit/receive orientation if the module uses directional ports. If removing the module, disconnect the fiber cable and release the module latch before extraction.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with connectors and polarity matching the transceiver’s requirements, maintain clean fiber endfaces to avoid signal loss, and observe ESD precautions when handling the module. Ensure compatibility with the host device’s supported SFP transceiver types and firmware to avoid interoperability issues.
