BlueOptics ONS-SE-GE-BXU-BO network transceiver module 1250 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics ONS-SE-GE-BXU-BO network transceiver module 1250 Mbit/s SFP is a single-port fiber optic SFP designed for single-mode links supporting up to 1.25 Gbit/s. The module uses an LC simplex interface and implements 1000BASE-BX-U optical signaling with separate transmit and receive wavelengths suitable for point-to-point single-fiber links. The transceiver is housed in a durable metal case, weighs approximately 20 g and is intended for use in network devices that accept MSA-compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides a compact SFP form factor that supports common Ethernet and optical transport protocols at 1250 Mbit/s while maintaining full MSA electrical and mechanical compatibility. Its metal housing contributes to mechanical robustness and heat dissipation. The transceiver supports long operational lifetimes with an MTBF of around 1,000,000 hours and is lightweight for easy handling and straightforward field installation.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber point-to-point links using LC simplex connectors
• Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-BX-U) connections over a single fiber
• Integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other SFP-compatible network equipment
• Applications requiring long-distance connectivity within the specified optical range

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical standard: 1000BASE-BX-U (single-mode, bidirectional on one fiber)
• Wavelengths: separate transmit and receive wavelengths (typical for BX-U operation)
• Connector type: LC simplex
• Typical reach: designed for long-reach single-mode links (up to the specified 20 km in BX-U implementations)
• Housing: metal
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics: supports DDM/DOM when used in compatible host hardware

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP into an SFP slot of a compatible network device following the device manufacturer's hot-plug procedures. Connect an appropriate LC simplex single-mode patch cable and ensure the remote transceiver supports the complementary BX-U wavelengths and single-fiber operation. Verify link status in the host device and, if available, read digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) parameters from the host to confirm operational voltages, optical power and temperature. Observe ESD precautions during handling and avoid bending the fiber beyond its minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

Use this transceiver together with single-mode LC simplex patch cords and compatible SFP slots that support 1000BASE-BX-U and DDM if diagnostics are required. Ensure firmware or driver settings in the host device permit third-party SFP modules, and test interoperability in your specific hardware platform before large-scale deployment.
