SFP transceiver BlueOptics SPL-43-GB-BD-CDFM-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SPL-43-GB-BD-CDFM-BO is an SFP transceiver module designed for fiber optic connections, offering a compact metal housing and support for synchronous data transmission up to 1250 Mbit/s. Engineered for use in network equipment that accepts SFP form-factor modules, this transceiver provides a silver-coloured, lightweight option with a 3.3 V input voltage suitable for standard SFP ports. The module is intended for short-range fiber links where a reliable, low-power optical interface is required.

Advantages

The metal housing provides mechanical robustness and improved thermal dissipation compared with plastic enclosures. Support for 1250 Mbit/s data transfer enables compatibility with equipment requiring standard SFP optical rates. The 3.3 V input voltage and the compact SFP form factor make the module compatible with a wide range of switches, routers and media converters. Its light weight and standard connector dimensions facilitate easy installation and replacement.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short-range optical uplinks between switches and routers
• Fiber connection in small to medium enterprise networks
• Replacement SFP module for compatible network devices
• Media converters and access equipment requiring 1250 Mbit/s optical transceivers

How to use

Power down the host device or follow the manufacturer’s hot-swap guidelines, then insert the SFP transceiver into the SFP port until it seats firmly. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical interface, ensuring correct fiber type and connector polarity. Restore power if required and verify link status through the host device’s management interface or status LEDs. For safe removal, follow the device’s hot-swap procedure or power down the host before extracting the module.

Recommendations

Use compatible single- or multi-mode fiber and matching connectors as specified by your network equipment. Avoid exposed contact with the optical interface to prevent contamination; use dust caps when the transceiver is not connected. Ensure firmware and device configuration support 1250 Mbit/s SFP modules and verify link parameters after installation.
