SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPEX40KM-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFPEX40KM-BO is an SFP transceiver module for single-mode fiber links. It supports a data rate up to 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module uses an LC duplex fiber connector, is lightweight (approx. 0.02 kg) and has a silver housing. It is designed for point-to-point optical connections with a maximum reach of up to 40,000 metres when deployed in compatible 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet systems.

Advantages

The transceiver complies with common SFP mechanical and optical form-factor expectations and is suitable for use in systems that accept MSA-compliant SFP modules. A compact silver housing and LC duplex connector enable straightforward installation in SFP ports. With single-mode operation at 1310 nm and a rated maximum distance of 40 km, the module is intended for long-reach fiber links while keeping weight and size minimal.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFPEX40KM-BO into an empty SFP slot of a compatible network device while the device is powered according to the device vendor’s instructions. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable to the module and to the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device for the desired 1.25 Gbit/s link parameters and verify the link state according to the switch or router diagnostics. If digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) is required, confirm that the host hardware and firmware support reading those parameters.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex patch cords and maintain clean fiber connectors to ensure optimal optical performance. Verify compatibility with the target device and check link parameters after installation. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the fiber to preserve module lifetime.
