SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GE40KT14R13-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-GE40KT14R13-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s) optical links. Housed in a metal case and operating at 3.3 V input voltage, this compact silver module weighs approximately 0.04 kg and provides an LC simplex interface compatible with standard SFP ports. The module implements separate transmit and receive wavelengths for single‑fiber applications and follows MSA SFP form‑factor conventions to ensure physical compatibility with a wide range of network equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a compact metal housing for stable mechanical and thermal performance and supports a 1250 Mbit/s data rate suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and similar protocols. Its standard SFP interface and LC simplex connector enable straightforward installation and hot‑swap replacement in compatible switches, routers and other SFP‑equipped devices. The module’s silver finish and 3.3 V operation conform to common SFP electrical and mechanical expectations, simplifying integration into existing fiber networks.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber
• Long‑reach point‑to‑point optical connections
• Replacement or upgrade of SFP ports in switches, routers and storage systems
• Environments requiring a compact, hot‑swappable transceiver module

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form‑Factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Connector type: LC simplex (single‑fiber transmit/receive arrangement)
• Optical mode: single‑mode fiber
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing material and colour: metal, silver
• Weight: approx. 0.04 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into any compatible SFP port while the host device is powered or powered on, using the module’s latch or eject mechanism to secure it. Connect an appropriate LC simplex single‑mode patch cable to the module’s optical port; observe transmit and receive orientation when linking to another single‑fiber transceiver. Confirm the host device recognizes the module and establishes a link at the expected speed. For removal, use the eject mechanism and pull the module straight out, then protect the optical interfaces with dust caps when not connected.

Usage recommendations

Use quality single‑mode LC simplex patch cords and, where supported by the host hardware, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to monitor supply voltage, optical power and temperature for simplified maintenance and troubleshooting. Ensure the host device explicitly supports third‑party SFP modules and verify link settings after installation to achieve optimal performance.
