SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics SFP-5D-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-5D-BO is an SFP fiber-optic transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbps) links over multimode fiber using an 850 nm wavelength. Housed in a metal casing and weighing approximately 3 g, it accepts a 3.3 V input and uses an LC duplex connector following MSA standards. The module supports common 1000Base-SX applications and is suitable for Ethernet and similar high-speed optical transmission systems up to the multimode reach defined by the link and fiber quality.

Advantages

The metal housing provides mechanical durability and thermal stability while the SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable installation in a wide range of switches, routers and storage devices that accept SFP modules. Compatibility with industry-standard LC duplex connectors and an 850 nm transmitter/receiver pair makes the module suitable for established multimode fiber networks. Low weight and compact dimensions allow straightforward deployment in dense equipment racks.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-5D-BO into an empty SFP port on compatible networking equipment while the device is powered on or following the equipment manufacturer's hot-swap procedures. Connect an appropriate LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module's LC connector and to the remote transceiver or patch panel. Ensure link settings on both ends (speed, duplex, and fibre type) are configured according to the network design. Verify link status through the host device's management interface and, if supported, read digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for realtime parameters.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode fiber (OM2/OM3/OM4 as required by distance and bandwidth needs) and LC duplex patch cords to achieve optimal reach and signal integrity. Confirm that the host device supports 1000Base-SX SFP modules and the DDM/DOM feature if remote diagnostics are required. Observe electrostatic discharge precautions during handling and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for insertion and removal to avoid damaging the transceiver or port.
