Fibre optic transceiver module BlueOptics JD497A-BO 155 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics JD497A-BO 155 Mbit/s SFP fiber optic transceiver module is a compact SFP interface designed for point-to-point optical links and network equipment that accept SFP form factor modules. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s and is intended for use in HP-compatible systems. The module's nickel-coloured housing and 20 g weight make it a lightweight, space-saving component suitable for rack-mounted and compact network devices. The transceiver provides a standard physical interface for optical connectivity and is intended to restore or extend fiber links where short- to medium-distance data transmission is required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics JD497A-BO offers a standard SFP form factor that fits a wide range of network switches, routers and media converters compatible with SFP modules. With a defined maximum throughput of 155 Mbit/s it is suitable for legacy and industrial applications that do not require higher-speed optics. Its lightweight construction simplifies handling and installation while the metal nickel-coloured housing supports mechanical robustness and heat dissipation. Compatibility with HP systems ensures straightforward integration into existing networks that use HP-compatible transceivers.

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Ensure the host device supports 155 Mbit/s SFP modules and HP-compatible optics. Connect appropriate fiber optic cables to the module's optical ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation and any required dust caps removal. After physical installation, verify link state and configuration in the host device's network management interface and adjust settings if necessary for the intended link speed and duplex behavior.

Recommendations

Handle the module by its body to avoid damaging the optical interface. Keep protective caps on the fiber ports when the transceiver is not connected, and operate within the equipment manufacturer's environmental and power specifications. For reliable operation, pair the module with compatible fiber cable types and connectors and confirm compatibility with the specific HP or HP-compatible hardware model before deployment.
