SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics 500SSM71 R0001-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 500SSM71 R0001-BO is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode and multimode network links supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a silver metal case and weighing approximately 20 g, this module follows the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) standard to provide hot-pluggable, space-saving connectivity for switches, routers and media converters. It meets CE, FCC and RoHS compliance requirements and is specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of around 1,000,000 hours to support continuous operation in data networks.

Advantages

The module’s SFP form factor enables straightforward installation and removal without powering down equipment, reducing maintenance time. A specification for 1250 Mbit/s makes it suitable for common Gigabit and legacy link rates; the metal housing offers mechanical protection and helps dissipate heat during extended operation. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards indicates conformity with regulatory and environmental requirements. The specified MTBF provides an indication of long-term reliability for network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Replacing or upgrading SFP slots in switches, routers and media converters
• Short- to medium-range fiber optic data links supporting 1250 Mbit/s
• Environments requiring hot-swappable transceivers for minimal downtime

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Interface type: SFP fiber optic interface
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Housing material and colour: metal, silver
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Reliability: mean time between failures ~1,000,000 hours
• Regulatory compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS

How to use

Power down or follow the host device’s hot-swap procedure if required, then insert the SFP transceiver into an appropriate SFP cage until it clicks into place. Connect a compatible fiber optic cable to the transceiver’s optical interface, ensuring correct connector type and polarity. Configure the host device’s interface settings to match the link speed and duplex mode, then verify link status and diagnostics via the host equipment’s management tools. To remove the module, release the retention mechanism and pull the transceiver straight out, protecting the optical ports with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use compatible fiber type and connectors as specified by your network equipment, avoid touching optical interfaces, and store unused modules with dust caps. Verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP specifications and review link settings after installation to ensure stable 1250 Mbit/s operation.
