SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GD-BD43-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-GD-BD43-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module comes in a metal housing, operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g. It uses an LC simplex connector and follows MSA form-factor standards, providing a compact, hot-pluggable interface for network equipment that supports SFP modules.

Advantages

The module offers compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP transceivers and supports data transfer up to 1250 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber. Its metal housing supports robust mechanical protection and thermal conduction while the small 3 g weight minimizes strain in dense port deployments. The standardized SFP form factor and LC simplex connector simplify replacement or upgrades in switches, routers and storage systems that require hot-swappable optical interfaces.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber links in access and distribution networks
• 1 Gbit Ethernet and related high-speed optical applications up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Environments requiring compact, hot-pluggable optical transceivers with LC simplex connectors

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the device is powered on or according to the equipment manufacturer’s hot-swap guidance. Connect a single-mode LC patch cable to the LC simplex connector on the module, observing correct polarity for transmit and receive. Configure the host device if necessary to recognize the transceiver and set appropriate interface parameters for the intended protocol (for example, Ethernet speed and duplex). Follow the equipment vendor’s instructions for enabling any digital diagnostic features provided by the transceiver.

Recommendations

Verify that the target hardware officially supports 1000BASE-BX-D or compatible SFP modules and that the LC simplex patch cords and single-mode fiber run are suitable for the intended link distance. Handle the module by its housing, avoid touching the optical ferrule, and use protective dust caps when connectors are not mated. For remote monitoring and maintenance, ensure the host device supports digital diagnostic monitoring if you require real-time information about voltage, temperature, laser current and optical power.
