SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SU56AD-BO glasvezel 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SU56AD-BO SFP transceiver is a fiber optic module designed for 1000Base-SX networks with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a robust metal enclosure and weighing only 20 g, this SFP module supports LC duplex connections and is intended for short-range multimode fiber links with transmit and receive wavelengths at 850 nm. The module follows MSA SFP form-factor standards to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability with compatible host devices and supports common protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet up to 1.25 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The transceiver combines a compact SFP interface with a metal housing for improved durability and thermal behaviour. With an MTBF of approximately 1,000,000 hours it is built for long operational life, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Compatibility with MSA-compliant SFP ports and an LC duplex connector enables straightforward integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other networking hardware that accept standard 1000Base-SX modules.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the target device following the device manufacturer’s hot-plug procedures. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module’s LC ports, ensuring correct transmitter-to-receiver alignment. After physical installation, verify link status in the host device management interface and configure the network settings (speed, duplex, VLANs, etc.) as required by your environment. If the host supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or check the diagnostics to monitor operational parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and proper polarity (TX to RX) for optimal performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports SFP modules with 1000Base-SX parameters and DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required. Avoid excessive connector contamination by keeping LC endfaces clean and capped when not in use.
