SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics AC-SFP-SX-E 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics AC-SFP-SX-E 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at an 850 nm wavelength, providing compatibility with standard multimode fiber networks and common SFP ports. The module is intended for use in switches, routers and other networking equipment that accept SFP form-factor transceivers, enabling straightforward hot-plug installation and reliable optical connectivity.

Advantages

The module offers compact SFP form-factor compatibility with a broad range of networking devices and supports a 1250 Mbit/s data rate suitable for Fast Ethernet/1.25 G interfaces on multimode fiber. Operating at 850 nm, it is optimized for short-range connections and typical multimode cabling standards. The design facilitates easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment, and the fiber optic link reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper connections.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links within data centers and server rooms
• Upgrading switches or routers with SFP ports to optical connectivity
• Connecting network equipment across floors or nearby buildings using multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP small form-factor pluggable
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Compatible fiber type: multimode fiber (short-range)
• Hot-pluggable for in-service replacement and upgrades

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or media converter while the device is powered on or follow the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines for hot-plugging. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable (appropriate connector type) to the transceiver and ensure proper seating. Verify link status and module recognition via the network device’s management interface or LED indicators. For optimal performance, use multimode fiber meeting industry standards and keep connectors clean to minimize signal loss.

Recommendations

Use the transceiver for short-distance multimode installations and pair it with matching multimode fiber and patch cables. Avoid exposing optical connectors to dust and replace protective caps only when making connections. Consult your switch or router documentation for compatibility notes and supported speeds before deployment.
