Transceptor SFP BlueOptics SFP-504-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-504-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for single-mode links at a wavelength of 1550 nm and a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a metal enclosure and powered from a 3.3 V input, the module provides a standardized SFP interface with LC duplex connectivity suitable for insertion into compatible network equipment. Weighing approximately 3 g and finished in silver, the module supports long-distance optical transmission and is suitable for use in systems that accept 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module offers interoperable SFP form factor compatibility and a metal housing for mechanical durability and thermal stability. Operating at 1550 nm with single-mode fibre support, it enables long-reach optical connections while maintaining a 1.25 Gbit/s transfer capability. Its low weight and standard SFP interface simplify installation and replacement in switches, routers and other network devices that support MSA-compliant transceivers.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an SFP slot of the powered-off or hot-swappable supported network device following the device manufacturer's instructions. Connect the LC duplex single-mode patch cord ensuring correct TX/RX alignment between transceivers at both ends. Verify device compatibility and link status through the host device interface or management system. If supported by the host, enable or verify digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) to read supply voltage, transmit power, receive power and temperature for operational diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex patch cords and ensure clean connector endfaces to maintain optimal link quality. Confirm that the target device supports 1000BASE-ZX or equivalent 1.25 Gbit/s SFP transceivers and, when available, enable DDM/DOM monitoring for remote diagnostics. Store and handle the module in a dry, electrostatic-safe environment and avoid mechanical shocks during insertion and removal.
