Glasvezeltransceiver CBO SFP-3-BO model SFP-3-BO (SFP-formfactor)

SFP-3-BO is a BlueOptics fiber optic transceiver in SFP form factor designed for use in SFP-compatible network equipment. The module enables optical data transmission for switches, routers and media converters, supporting fiber uplinks and backbone links. It is designed for hot-plug insertion and replacement to simplify installation and maintenance of optical links in enterprise and carrier networks.

Advantages

The compact SFP form factor provides space-efficient deployment in network racks and chassis. Optical transmission removes electrical interference and supports longer link distances compared with copper. The transceiver is compatible with standard SFP ports, allowing direct insertion into supported devices without additional adapters. Hot-plug capability reduces downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

Suitable for

• Optical uplinks between access switches and aggregation/core switches
• Interconnecting routers and media converters over fiber
• Creating fiber backbone links in office and data center environments
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP modules in compatible equipment

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Transmission medium: single-mode or multi-mode fiber (depends on device compatibility)
• Connector type: standard fiber connector compatible with SFP ports (device-dependent)
• Hot-pluggable design for tool-free insertion and removal
• Compatibility: designed for insertion into SFP-compatible switches, routers and media converters

How to use

Verify that the target device supports SFP modules and that the fiber type and connector match the installed network cabling. Power down is not required for hot-plug installations on equipment that supports it, but follow the device manufacturer's guidance if unsure. Align the module with the SFP cage and insert it until it clicks into place; secure any retention mechanism if present. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cable to the transceiver's optical interface. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful optical link establishment.

Recommendations

Handle the optical interface with care: keep dust caps on when the transceiver is not in use, avoid touching the fiber end-face, and clean connectors with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating. Ensure compatibility with the host device's supported wavelengths and fibre type to achieve expected performance. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging in a dry, dust-free environment.
