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

The BlueOptics SFP-5H-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module for 1250 Mbit/s optical links. It operates at a wavelength of 850 nm, supports multimode fiber with LC duplex connectivity and is housed in a durable silver metal casing. The module uses a 3.3 V supply, weighs approximately 3 g and follows MSA SFP form-factor specifications to ensure interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides support for 1000Base-SX-class applications with simultaneous transmit and receive capability over separate fibers via LC duplex connectors. It includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472 for real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, received optical power and temperature. The metal housing and industry-standard components contribute to stable performance, long service life and compatibility with major switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber (1000Base-SX)
• Data center uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• Campus or enterprise network segments up to multimode reach limits
• Fiber connections in routers, storage systems and load balancers that support SFP modules

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-5H-BO into any compatible SFP slot following the equipment manufacturer's hot-swap and handling guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords with correct polarity to the module's transmit and receive ports. Verify link status and speed on the host device and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters through the device management interface to confirm proper operation. Ensure the host hardware supports the 1000Base-SX protocol and DDM if you intend to use diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode fiber patch cords and maintain proper clean connector endfaces to ensure optimal signal quality. Confirm compatibility with the target hardware and, when deploying in production, test the module in the intended platform to validate link parameters and DDM functionality prior to large-scale rollouts.
