SFP-transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-9-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-9-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for long‑range optical links. It supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s over single‑mode fiber at a transmission wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a durable metal enclosure and operating from a 3.3 V supply, the module is compact and lightweight (approx. 3 g), compatible with standard SFP ports and suited for integration into switches, routers and media converters that accept MSA‑compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The module offers long reach capability up to 80 km using single‑mode fiber and an LC duplex optical interface for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal stability while the low weight and standard SFP form factor ensure easy hot‑swap installation. Compliance with MSA electrical and mechanical specifications makes the transceiver interoperable with a wide range of network equipment that supports standard 1000BASE‑ZX operation.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP‑9‑BO into a compatible SFP slot on your network device while the device is powered according to the manufacturer's hot‑swap guidelines. Connect single‑mode fiber patch cords with LC duplex connectors to the module's optical ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device is configured for the intended protocol (e.g., 1000BASE‑ZX) and that any required link settings are enabled. Verify link status and optical power levels using the host interface or management tools.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑distance performance, use single‑mode fiber of the appropriate attenuation class and high‑quality LC duplex patch cords. Confirm that the receiving equipment supports 1550 nm and 1000BASE‑ZX or equivalent protocols and that Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support is enabled on the host if real‑time optical diagnostics are required.
