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

The BlueOptics SPL-53-GB-BD-IDFM-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for simplex bidirectional data links at a maximum transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module has a metal housing in silver colour, operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 2 g, making it suitable for compact networking equipment and chassis-based installations where space and weight are limited.

Advantages

This transceiver supports standardized SFP interfacing for straightforward hot-plug insertion into compatible ports and provides fiber connectivity for longer-distance or electrically isolated links. The metal casing offers mechanical protection and helps with heat dissipation in dense installations. Small size and low weight enable installation in high-density switches, routers or media converters without significant added load.

Suitable for

• Upgrading switch or router ports to fiber links
• Connecting media converters or fiber patch panels
• Simplex bidirectional fiber links in LAN and access networks
• Environments requiring low-weight SFP modules for compact installations

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing material and colour: metal, silver
• Weight: approx. 2 g

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on your network device while the device is powered on or off according to the host equipment manual. Ensure the fibre cable and connectors used match the module's bidirectional simplex configuration and the transceiver's optical specifications. After seating the module, connect the fiber patch cords, verify link status via the host device interface and configure the port for the intended data rate and operational mode if necessary.

Recommendations

Handle the module by the housing, avoid touching the optical interface, and keep protective caps on the connector until installation. Verify compatibility with the host device and use appropriate fiber patch cords and cleaning procedures to maintain signal quality.
