SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-BXD43-20KM-IX-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-BXD43-20KM-IX-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for single-lane serial data transmission at up to 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in metal for mechanical protection and thermal dissipation, the compact module weighs 20 g and is intended for installation in compatible SFP ports to extend network links over fiber. The module supports point-to-point optical connections and is designed for reliable data transmission over extended distances.

Advantages

The metal housing provides robust physical protection and aids heat dissipation during continuous operation. With a standardized SFP form factor and a 1250 Mbit/s transfer rate, the transceiver integrates with a wide range of switches, routers and optical equipment that accept SFP modules. Its small size and light weight reduce strain on equipment cages and allow straightforward hot‑swap replacement when needed.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into an empty SFP port on a compatible network device until it seats fully; ensure the device is powered off or that the vendor supports hot‑swap insertion. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cable to the transceiver's optical interface, taking care to match connector type and fiber mode. Configure the host device's interface settings as required for the link speed and duplex; verify link status through the device management interface or LED indicators. For removal, disengage any retention mechanism and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the cage or connector.

Recommendations

Use compatible single-mode or multimode fiber and matching connectors as required by your network design, and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid touching optical endfaces to maintain signal quality.
