SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPKT-50SX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFPKT-50SX-BO is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for multimode networks requiring a 1250 Mbit/s data rate. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength, uses an LC duplex connector for simultaneous transmit and receive over separate fibers, and comes in a metal housing. The module accepts a 3.3 V input and is lightweight, facilitating easy installation in compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and storage hardware that follow MSA specifications.

Advantages

The transceiver supports 1000Base-SX optical links over multimode fiber and provides a standard-compliant interface that fits SFP ports from many networking vendors. Its metal housing offers mechanical durability while the small form factor and low weight simplify module handling and deployment. The product is built to industry MSA dimensions and optical parameters, enabling interoperability and predictable performance in high-speed short-reach fiber links.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFPKT-50SX-BO into any compatible SFP slot while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s instructions or hot-plug per the equipment manual. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords with correct polarity so the transmitter and receiver are matched. Ensure the connected equipment is configured for 1000Base-SX operation if manual link settings are required. Verify link status LEDs and, when available, read module diagnostics via the host system to confirm optical power and module operating parameters.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode fiber patch cords and maintain clean LC connector endfaces to achieve optimal link performance. Confirm device compatibility with the transceiver and check for DDM/DOM support in the host hardware if remote diagnostics are needed. Follow ESD precautions when handling the module and store unused transceivers in protective packaging.
