SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-8D-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-8D-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal case with a silver finish and weighing about 3 g, this compact module uses a standard SFP interface and operates from a 3.3 V supply. It supports LC duplex connectors and is intended for high-speed network connections over long distances in equipment that accepts MSA-compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The module combines a standard SFP form factor with a metal housing for mechanical stability and thermal dissipation. It supports up to 1.25 Gbit/s single-mode optical transmission at 1310 nm, enabling long-reach connections. The BlueOptics SFP-8D-BO is manufactured to MSA guidelines and is compatible with devices that accept equivalent 1000BASE-LH SFP transceivers. Low weight and a common 3.3 V supply voltage simplify installation and integration into switches, routers and other network hardware.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-8D-BO by inserting the module into an SFP cage on supported network equipment until it latches. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable between the module and the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and that link LEDs or management interfaces report an active optical link. Confirm that the host supports the module’s data rate and any diagnostic functions required.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and compliant SFP cages to achieve optimal range and signal integrity. If available, enable digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) on the host device to track supply voltage, laser bias, output and input power, and module temperature for proactive maintenance.
