SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SPL-53-GB-BD-CDFM-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SPL-53-GB-BD-CDFM-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic interface designed for uplink and short-reach connections in switches, routers and media converters. Housed in a metal casing with a silver finish, this SFP module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates from a 3.3 V supply. Its lightweight construction (approximately 2 g) and standard SFP form factor enable straightforward installation in SFP ports for reliable optical connectivity while complying with RoHS requirements.

Advantages

The module's SFP interface and standard form factor allow compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment that accepts SFP transceivers. The metal housing provides mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding, and the low weight simplifies handling during installation. Operating at 3.3 V and supporting a 1250 Mbit/s data rate makes it suitable for common fiber links where this throughput is required. RoHS compliance limits hazardous substances in manufacturing.

Suitable for

• Short-reach fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports in managed and unmanaged network devices
• Use in media converters to connect copper and fiber segments
• Laboratory and testing setups requiring a standard SFP optical port

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal casing with silver colour
• Weight: 0.002 kg
• Compliance: RoHS

How to use

Power down the host device or follow hot-plug guidelines provided by the equipment manufacturer. Remove any protective dust caps from the transceiver and the fiber connector. Insert the SFP module into an empty SFP port until it seats firmly and the latch engages. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the transceiver, observing correct connector type and polarity. Restore power if the device was powered down, then verify link status and data rate via the host device management interface or LEDs. If removing the module, disconnect the fiber cable and press the release mechanism before pulling the transceiver out.

Recommendations

Use this SFP transceiver in equipment that explicitly supports standard SFP modules and the required data rate. Store and handle the module in a clean, static-free environment; keep dust caps on connectors when not in use. Match cable type and connector polarity to the transceiver specifications to ensure optimal signal performance.
