SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GE-SX-MM850-D-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GE-SX-MM850-D-BO is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000Base-SX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 850 nm for multimode fiber links. The module is housed in a metal casing, requires a 3.3 V supply, and weighs approximately 3 g. It uses an LC duplex connector and complies with MSA-compatible SFP form-factor standards for interoperability with a wide range of network equipment.

Advantages

The transceiver offers compatibility with common networking platforms that support 1000Base-SX SFP modules, enabling reliable gigabit optical links over multimode fiber. Its metal housing provides mechanical stability and thermal conduction, while the compact SFP form factor allows flexible deployment in switches, routers, and storage systems. The module's standardized optical characteristics and LC duplex interface make it suitable for straightforward integration into existing fiber infrastructures.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router, or network device while the device is powered according to the vendor’s guidelines if hot-swap is not supported. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable (matched to the transceiver’s wavelength and fiber type) to the module's connector. Configure the device port for 1000Base-SX operation if required by your equipment. Verify link status and test throughput using standard network diagnostics or monitoring tools.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 or appropriate multimode fiber cabling for best performance within the specified distance range and ensure connectors and patch cords are clean before installation. Confirm host-device compatibility with vendor documentation and enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support in the host if you require real-time transceiver status (voltage, temperature, TX/RX power, laser bias). Follow ESD precautions when handling the module and store unused modules in protective packaging.
