SFP-transceiver BlueOptics LFP420-BO 1250 Mbit/s glasvezel

The BlueOptics LFP420-BO SFP transceiver is a single-port fiber optic module designed for 1250 Mbit/s data transmission over single-mode fiber. Housed in a silver SFP form factor, this compact transceiver supports LC simplex connection and follows MSA standards for interoperability. It is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts standard SFP modules and supports 1000BASE-BX-D type optical links, offering a lightweight solution at approximately 0.02 kg for data center, campus and carrier networks.

Advantages

The module provides standardized SFP interoperability and supports 1250 Mbit/s optical links for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications. Single-mode operation with separate transmitter and receiver wavelengths enables long-reach links up to around 20 km when used with appropriate fiber and partner transceivers. The transceiver is produced to meet CE, RoHS and FCC regulatory requirements and is compatible with common MSA-compliant hardware platforms. Its small form factor and low weight simplify installation and reduce space usage in dense network racks.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or other network device while the device is powered according to the vendor instructions. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the module’s connector; observe the correct orientation for BX operation so that the transmitter of one end is connected to the receiver of the other. Verify the link status on the host device and check supported features such as Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) if available. Ensure software/firmware compatibility with the host hardware when installing third-party SFP modules.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC simplex patch cords of appropriate attenuation and quality, follow the host vendor’s guidelines for third-party SFP compatibility, and enable DDM/DOM on supported platforms to monitor optical performance parameters such as laser output power and temperature.
