Transceptor SFP CBO 81Y1620 1250 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet

The SFP transceiver CBO 81Y1620 1250 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet by BlueOptics is a compact hot-pluggable module designed for standard SFP ports. It supports a data rate of 1250 Mbit/s for Gigabit Ethernet connections and allows flexible deployment in devices with compatible SFP interfaces. The module enables reliable fiber or copper link connectivity depending on the host equipment and transceiver variant, making it suitable for extending or replacing existing Gigabit links in network switches, routers and media converters.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides straightforward integration with SFP-enabled network equipment and supports hot-swap insertion to minimise downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Its compact form factor reduces space requirements in dense rack environments and it adheres to standard electrical and optical interfaces for predictable interoperability. The supported 1250 Mbit/s data rate ensures compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet links while enabling consistent performance for typical LAN and edge applications.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or repairing Gigabit Ethernet ports on switches and routers
• Connecting media converters to fiber or copper links
• Deployments requiring hot-pluggable SFP modules in rack-mounted equipment
• Replacing faulty SFP transceivers to restore network links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Supported data rate: 1250 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Hot-pluggable design for in-service insertion and removal
• Compatibility: standard SFP host interfaces (switches, routers, media converters)
• Physical: compact transceiver module suitable for high-density slots

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an empty SFP slot on the host device until it seats firmly; use gentle pressure and avoid forcing the module. Configure the device’s network interface as required by the host equipment, including link speed and duplex settings if applicable. If using an optical variant, connect the appropriate fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s port and ensure correct connector type and polarity. Monitor link status through the host device to confirm successful negotiation and stable operation.

Recommendations

Handle the module by the housing to avoid contact with optical interfaces or exposed connectors. Store unused transceivers in protective caps or anti-static packaging. Match transceiver type and connector to the host port and cabling infrastructure, and verify compatibility with device firmware or vendor interoperability lists when deploying in multi-vendor environments.
