SFP transceiver BlueOptics SU57AD-BO Fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SU57AD-BO SFP transceiver is a compact fiber optic module for 1000Base-SX applications, supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a durable metal casing and weighing 20 g, this SFP module is designed for multimode fiber links with LC Duplex connectors and complies with MSA mechanical and electrical standards. The module provides reliable operation with a high MTBF, making it suitable for a range of network installations requiring gigabit optical connectivity.

Advantages

The SU57AD-BO offers stable 1.25 Gbit/s performance over multimode fiber with matched 850 nm transmitter and receiver wavelengths, enabling bidirectional optical data transfer through LC Duplex connections. Its metal housing contributes to robustness and heat dissipation while the compact SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices that accept MSA-compliant SFP modules. The product's high MTBF supports long service intervals and predictable operational life.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links in switches and routers
• Server uplinks and inter-rack connections in data centers
• Storage systems and SAN connectivity using 1000Base-SX
• Network equipment requiring MSA-compliant SFP transceivers with LC Duplex

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or storage device following the host vendor's insertion procedure. Use LC Duplex multimode fiber patch cords to connect the transceiver to the remote endpoint, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status in the host device and configure the interface per your network settings (speed, duplex, VLANs, etc.). If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor available optical parameters where supported by the hardware.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the SU57AD-BO with quality multimode fiber patch cords and ensure clean LC connectors. Confirm that the target hardware supports MSA-compliant 1000Base-SX SFP modules and, if required, DDM/DOM functionality. Keep transceivers stored in anti-static packaging when not in use and avoid excessive mechanical stress on fiber cables to maintain link integrity.
