SFP transceiver module BlueOptics T8612-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics T8612-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for network applications requiring a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a durable silver metal casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this compact module follows standard SFP electrical and mechanical form factors and is suitable for multi-mode fiber links using LC duplex connections. The module is designed for long service life, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of around 1,000,000 hours, offering a reliable optical interface for switches, routers and other compatible network equipment.

Advantages

The BlueOptics T8612-BO provides a stable 1250 Mbit/s optical interface in a small SFP form factor with a metal housing for mechanical durability and thermal stability. Its lightweight design simplifies hot-plug installation in compatible SFP slots, while the high MTBF value indicates a long service lifetime and reduced maintenance intervals. The product colour and compact dimensions allow easy integration into standard network hardware without altering rack or chassis layouts.

Suitable for

• 1000Base-SX fiber connections over multi-mode fiber
• Hot-pluggable SFP ports in switches and routers
• Short-range optical links in data centers and enterprise networks

• Transceiver wavelength: 850 nm (receive and transmit)
• Typical operating range for multimode fiber: up to ~550 m (dependent on fiber type and link conditions)
• Housing material: metal (silver colour)
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): approx. 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics T8612-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the host is powered per the device manufacturer’s guidance. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation, verify link status and configuration on your network device; some systems may require enabling the port or configuring speed/duplex settings. Ensure the host hardware supports 1000Base-SX or equivalent SFP modules for full compatibility.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and ensure clean LC connectors to maintain signal quality. Verify that the network device firmware or driver supports third-party SFP modules and enable any required port settings. For reliable long-term operation, avoid excessive mechanical stress on the module and maintain ambient conditions within the host equipment specifications.
