SFP transceiver BlueOptics A6516A-BO 1250 Mbit/s optický

The BlueOptics A6516A-BO is an SFP transceiver module designed for fiber optic connections. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and comes in a compact SFP form factor with a silver finish. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight construction of 20 g, this transceiver is intended for stable, space-efficient deployment in network equipment that accepts SFP modules.

Advantages

The SFP transceiver offers compatibility with standard SFP ports, enabling hot-pluggable installation and straightforward replacement or upgrades of fiber links. Its low weight and small footprint minimize impact on rack and chassis density, while the specified MTBF indicates long-term reliability for continuous operation. Supporting 1250 Mbit/s ensures suitability for common fiber-based link speeds in access and distribution networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting fiber optic links in switches and routers with SFP ports
• Short- and mid-range fiber links where 1250 Mbit/s is required
• Network equipment upgrades or spare part replacement
• Environments requiring compact, hot-pluggable transceivers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics A6516A-BO into an available SFP port on compatible network equipment while the device is powered according to the host vendor guidelines for hot-plug operations. Connect the appropriate optical fiber cable to the transceiver's LC (or specified) connector and verify link status through the switch or router management interface. If replacing an existing module, power-cycle only if required by the host device; otherwise perform a hot-swap following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Recommendations

Ensure the selected fiber type and connector type match the transceiver and the rest of the link. Observe ESD precautions during handling and avoid excessive bending of fiber cables. Consult the host device documentation for any compatibility notes and confirm link parameters in device management to achieve the expected 1250 Mbit/s operation.
