SFP transceiver BlueOptics 551071-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 551071-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for use in network equipment that accepts SFP form-factor ports. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is intended for single-port insertion into switches, routers or media converters to enable optical link connectivity. The module is finished in silver, has a compact, hot-pluggable SFP housing and a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards indicates conformity with common safety, electromagnetic and environmental requirements while maintaining a high mean time between failures of 1,000,000 hours.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides a standardized SFP interface for straightforward integration into compatible networking equipment and supports industry-standard optical connections. Its 1250 Mbit/s maximum rate suits many legacy and current fiber links. The compact, hot-pluggable design allows tool-free replacement or upgrades, and the low weight contributes to minimal mechanical load in dense module assemblies. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS ensures the module meets regulatory and environmental criteria commonly required in professional installations.

Suitable for

• Adding or replacing a fiber link in switches and routers with SFP slots
• Establishing short- to medium-range optical connections in enterprise or campus networks
• Use in media converters to bridge copper and fiber segments
• Maintenance and upgrade tasks where hot-pluggable modularity is required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg (approx. 20 g)
• Reliability: MTBF approximately 1,000,000 hours
• Standards compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers and that the correct fiber type and connector are used for the intended link. With the host powered according to the manufacturer’s guidance, align the SFP module with the SFP slot and insert until it engages; many SFP modules are hot-pluggable and can be inserted or removed without shutting down the host, but follow the host equipment’s hot-swap procedures. Connect the fiber cable to the transceiver’s optical port, verifying correct polarity and connector type. After installation, verify link status and data rate through the host device’s management interface or LED indicators.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a dry, electrostatically safe environment; avoid touching the optical end-face and use dust caps when the port is unused. Match the transceiver to compatible equipment that supports SFP modules and confirm optical specifications (wavelength, fiber type, connector) when planning links. For long-term reliability, observe manufacturer and host-device guidelines for insertion/removal and environmental limits.
