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

The BlueOptics SFP-BXU35-20KM-CH-BO 1250 Mbit/s is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-port network devices. The module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is built in a metal housing for mechanical protection and heat dissipation. With a lightweight design of approximately 20 g and a rated operational range up to 20 km, this transceiver is intended for point-to-point fiber links in enterprise and carrier networks. The stated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours indicates expected long-term reliability under normal operating conditions.

Advantages

The metal enclosure provides durability and assists in thermal management while keeping the unit compact and lightweight. Support for the SFP interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of switches and routers that accept small form-factor pluggable modules. A 20 km reach expands deployment options for access and distribution links without requiring additional active equipment. The module’s 1250 Mbit/s rate matches standard single-fibre Ethernet and synchronous transport applications.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceiver modules and is powered off or in a hot-swap-ready state according to the device manual. Handle the module by its housing, avoiding contact with the optical interface; remove protective dust caps before insertion. Insert the module into an SFP port until it seats and latches; then connect appropriate single-mode fiber patch cables to the transmit and receive connectors, observing correct polarity. After installation, verify link status and configure relevant interface settings on the host device as required.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment to protect optical surfaces. Use single-mode fiber with connectors that match the transceiver specifications and inspect fiber end-faces for cleanliness before making connections. Follow manufacturer guidance for compatibility with specific switches and routers and verify firmware or configuration settings if the host device performs vendor checks.
