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

The BlueOptics SFP-5DH-BO is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) fiber-optic transceiver module designed for multimode applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at an optical wavelength of 850 nm. The module is housed in a metal enclosure for mechanical protection, requires a 3.3 V input supply and weighs approximately 3 g. It uses an LC duplex connector and is compatible with systems that support 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The SFP-5DH-BO provides compact, standardized SFP form factor compatibility for easy hot-plug installation in network equipment that accepts 1000Base-SX modules. Metal housing offers mechanical durability and thermal stability while the module's design supports common multimode fiber links at 850 nm. The transceiver is lightweight and follows MSA-compatible interface conventions, enabling interchangeability across hardware platforms that accept SFP 1000Base-SX optics.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber Ethernet connections (1000Base-SX)
• Switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• Network upgrades or replacement of 1000Base-SX SFP modules

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-5DH-BO into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or storage device while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer's instructions for hot-pluggable optics. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports 1000Base-SX SFP modules and that any required link parameters are configured on the network equipment. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the diagnostics through the device management interface where available.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and follow the equipment vendor's compatibility list when replacing or adding SFP modules. Verify that the receiving device supports DDM/DOM if real-time diagnostic monitoring is needed. For reliable short-range links, select appropriate multimode fiber type and maintain clean connector endfaces to ensure optimal optical performance.
