SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-4200-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-4200-BO is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module designed for multimode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s at an 850 nm wavelength, has a metal housing, operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g. The module uses LC duplex optical connectors and follows MSA-compatible SFP form-factor standards, making it suitable for many switches, routers and storage devices that accept standard 1000Base-SX SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides compact, low-power optical connectivity for short-reach multimode fiber applications and is compatible with common 1000Base-SX ports. Constructed with a metal housing and industry-standard components, it offers mechanical robustness and stable electrical characteristics at 3.3 V operation. The SFP-4200-BO includes transmit and receive elements optimized for 850 nm operation and supports diagnostic monitoring when the host platform exposes DDM/DOM features.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-4200-BO into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or storage device ensuring the module is correctly aligned with the socket. Attach an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module’s connectors, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Power is supplied by the host device (3.3 V). If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or check the diagnostics via the device management interface to monitor supply voltage, transmit bias, output power, received power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords for optimal reach and signal quality. Verify host compatibility for 1000Base-SX SFP modules and DDM/DOM support before deployment. Handle the module carefully, protect optical interfaces with dust caps when not connected, and follow ESD precautions during installation to avoid damage.
