SFP transceiver BlueOptics AFCT-5701APZ 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics AFCT-5701APZ 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm is an SFP transceiver module engineered for single-mode fiber optic links. It supports a data rate up to 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at a central wavelength of 1310 nm, making it suitable for short- to medium-reach telecom and data communication applications. The module follows the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) standard and is intended for hot-pluggable use in compatible switches, routers and media converters.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers straightforward integration with network equipment that accepts SFP modules, allowing quick upgrades or replacements without system downtime. The 1310 nm wavelength provides stable optical performance over single-mode fiber, and the 1250 Mbit/s throughput supports common gigabit Ethernet and legacy fiber channel links. Compact SFP form factor ensures space-efficient installation in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber links for enterprise networks
• Uplinks between switches and routers
• Media converters and industrial network equipment
• Replacement or spare module for existing SFP ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP small form-factor pluggable
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Hot-pluggable module for easy installation

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver by inserting it into a compatible SFP port on your network device until it clicks into place. Connect a suitable single-mode fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After connection, verify link status through the host device management interface and ensure the configured interface speed and duplex settings match the link requirements. For removal, power down the port if recommended by the equipment manufacturer, unlock and gently pull the module out of the slot.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber patch cords rated for the 1310 nm window and maintain clean fiber connectors to minimize optical loss. Store and handle the transceiver in static-safe conditions and avoid touching the optical interface. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s supported SFP modules and check link diagnostics after installation.
