SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-GE40KT13R14-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-GE40KT13R14-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s) links. Housed in a metal casing and operating from a 3.3 V supply, this compact module (approx. 3 g) uses an LC simplex interface and supports long‑reach transmission up to 40,000 m. The module implements a bidirectional 1000BASE‑BX‑U configuration with separate transmit and receive wavelengths optimized for point‑to‑point fiber links and is compatible with systems that accept MSA‑compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP transceiver combines MSA‑compliant mechanical design with optical performance suitable for Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet up to 1.25 Gbit/s. Its metal housing ensures mechanical stability and thermal dissipation while the low weight and standard SFP form factor allow easy hot‑swap replacement in switches, routers and other networking equipment. The module supports long distances over single‑mode fiber and provides predictable optical behaviour for planning and operation.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your network device while the device is powered on or follow the device manufacturer’s hot‑swap guidance. Connect an LC simplex single‑mode fiber patch cord between transceivers at each end of the link, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive. Verify link parameters in the host device and, where supported, enable and check Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, transmit output and receive input power and module temperature.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode LC simplex patch cords matched to the module’s wavelengths and keep connectors clean to maintain link quality. Confirm host hardware supports the module’s bidirectional BX‑U wavelengths and DDM/DOM if you require optical diagnostics. For long‑term reliability, install modules in well‑ventilated equipment and follow vendor maintenance procedures for fiber connections.
