SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SU57AE-BO 1250 Mbit/s glasvezel

The BlueOptics SU57AE-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a durable metal enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, this module follows MSA guidelines and provides long operational life with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. The module uses LC duplex connectivity and operates with 1310 nm transmitter and receiver wavelengths suitable for long-reach 1000BASE-LX applications up to around 10 km when deployed on appropriate single-mode fiber.

Advantages

The transceiver offers standardized SFP form-factor compatibility for a wide range of switches, routers and storage devices that accept MSA-compliant SFP modules. Its metal housing provides mechanical stability and thermal dissipation, while the module’s design supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for remote monitoring of key parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature. Built to industry standards, the module is suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications at up to 1.25 Gbit/s.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SU57AE-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP port until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module, observing transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-LX and MSA-compliant SFP modules; enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the host if real-time diagnostic monitoring is required. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and avoid exposing the optical ports to dust or contamination.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use quality single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, keep connector endfaces clean, and verify link parameters via DDM/DOM where available. Confirm compatibility with the host hardware firmware and test new modules in a controlled environment before wide deployment.
