SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-MR27D-MMX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-MR27D-MMX-BO is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-X applications. It supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s using 1310 nm wavelength over multimode fiber and uses an LC duplex connector. The module is housed in metal, operates from a 3.3 V input and has a compact, lightweight design (approx. 3 g). It is compatible with MSA-compliant SFP ports and suitable for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other network devices that accept standard SFP 1000BASE-X modules.

Advantages

The module provides reliable single-lambda transmit and receive operation at 1310 nm for gigabit optical links and supports standard 1000BASE-X protocols. Metal housing offers mechanical robustness and EMI shielding while the lightweight compact form factor simplifies installation into SFP bays. Compliance with MSA specifications ensures broad interoperability with hardware that supports standard SFP transceivers. The module is designed for low-voltage operation (3.3 V) and low power consumption suitable for dense networking environments.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links (1000BASE-X) over multimode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Short- to medium-range optical links up to specified multimode distance (~2 km in compatible systems)
• Replacement or expansion of SFP ports in MSA-compliant network equipment

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (LC duplex)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Compatible fiber type: multimode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Power supply: 3.3 V input
• Housing: metal
• Weight: approximately 3 g

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP port on network equipment while the device is powered down if recommended by the equipment vendor, or follow hot-swap guidelines if supported. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive polarity. Verify link status and negotiated speed on the host device. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query the monitoring functions to read supply voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature for maintenance and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode LC patch cords and, when possible, test the transceiver in the target hardware to confirm interoperability. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-X SFP modules and the DDM/DOM features if remote diagnostics are required. Observe handling precautions for optical transceivers: avoid touching the fiber end faces, keep dust caps on when not connected, and follow ESD-safe procedures during installation.
