SFP transceiver BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GE-MM-05-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GE-MM-05-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX multimode fiber applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s at an operating wavelength of 850 nm. Housed in a metal enclosure and operating from a 3.3 V supply, the module provides a compact silver-coloured solution for short-range optical links and is suitable for use in networking equipment that accepts SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module follows industry MSA SFP form-factor standards and offers a reliable optical interface for multimode fibers, enabling full-duplex transmission using LC duplex connections. Its metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding, while the lightweight design (approximately 20 g) makes it easy to handle and install. Designed for compatibility with common network platforms, the transceiver supports standard Ethernet and other high-speed protocols up to 1.25 Gbit/s over multimode fiber.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an SFP-compatible slot on your switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap guidelines. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module's optical port, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device for the desired Ethernet or protocol settings and verify link status via the device management interface or LEDs. Observe standard handling precautions for optical modules and fibers, such as avoiding direct eye exposure to the laser and keeping connectors clean.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and clean connectors before mating. Verify that the networking equipment firmware supports third-party SFP modules if required by the device vendor. Maintain appropriate fiber bend radii and follow ESD-safe handling procedures during installation and maintenance.
