SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-20-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm zilver

The BlueOptics SFP-20-BO is a single‑mode SFP transceiver module designed for optical networks with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a metal case and powered from a 3.3 V supply, the compact silver module (approx. 3 g) provides an interface compatible with SFP slots and LC duplex fiber connections. It supports point-to-point optical links over long distances and is intended for integration into switches, routers and other networking equipment that accept standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The module follows MSA SFP form-factor standards and offers reliable optical transmission at 1550 nm with simultaneous transmit and receive channels via LC duplex. Its metal housing improves mechanical durability and heat dissipation while the small size and low weight allow installation in dense networking environments. Designed for interoperability with common networking platforms, the transceiver supports Ethernet and related high‑speed protocols up to 1.25 Gbit/s.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach single‑mode fiber links
• 1000BASE‑ZX and gigabit Ethernet uplinks
• Integration into switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• Network expansions where compact, hot‑swappable optical modules are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA compliant)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Wavelength: 1550 nm (transmit and receive)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Power supply: 3.3 V input
• Housing: metal, silver colour
• Weight: approx. 3 g

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-20-BO into a compatible SFP slot on your networking device following the device manufacturer's hot‑swap procedure. Connect an appropriate single‑mode LC duplex patch cable between this transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel. Ensure the host device recognizes the module and configure the link settings (speed, duplex, auto‑negotiation) according to the network design. Verify link status and optical power levels before placing the link into production.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for long‑reach transmission, verify compatibility with your device vendor for 1000BASE‑ZX operation, and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.
