SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-6-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm zilver

The BlueOptics SFP-6-BO is a single‑mode SFP transceiver designed for fiber optic connections with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal enclosure and operating at 3.3 V input, the module is compact and lightweight (approx. 3 g) and uses an LC duplex interface for simultaneous transmit and receive over two fibers. The transceiver is designed to meet MSA SFP form‑factor standards and is suitable for long‑reach 1000BASE‑LX applications up to several kilometers in single‑mode fiber environments.

Advantages

The transceiver provides compatibility with standard SFP ports and supports established protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at gigabit speeds. Metal housing improves mechanical durability and thermal dissipation while the small form factor allows easy hot‑swap installation. The module is built to match common MSA requirements and offers diagnostics capability when the host hardware supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enabling real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and switches
• Long‑reach single‑mode fiber links (1000BASE‑LX)
• Routers, storage systems and network appliances with SFP ports
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and similar high‑speed networking protocols

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (LC duplex)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing material: metal
• Weight: approximately 3 g
• Form factor: SFP compliant with MSA standards

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP‑6‑BO into a compatible SFP socket on the switch, router or other network device while the device is powered on or following the host manufacturer’s hot‑swap instructions. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode patch cord to the transceiver and to the remote transceiver or patch panel, observing correct TX/RX orientation. Ensure the host device supports the required transmission protocol and, if needed, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the device firmware to access diagnostics data.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode LC duplex fiber cabling rated for 1310 nm and maintain clean connector end faces to ensure optimal optical performance. Verify compatibility with the host hardware and firmware before deployment and test links after installation to confirm expected throughput and diagnostic reporting.
