BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-CT-BO network transceiver module 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-CT-BO network transceiver module is a single‑mode SFP designed for long‑distance fiber links at a data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a metal casing and powered by 3.3 V, this compact 3 g transceiver provides a standardized LC duplex optical interface for transmission and reception over single‑mode fiber, supporting common networking protocols and long‑reach connections.

Advantages

This SFP module follows MSA-compatible 1000BASE-ZX specifications, offering broad interoperability with equipment that supports the original compatible Centec modules. The metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and thermal stability, while small size and low weight simplify installation in switches, routers and other network devices. Built to industry component standards, the module supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, output and input power, and operating temperature.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-CT-BO module into any SFP slot of a compatible, MSA-compliant network device until it latches. Connect LC duplex single‑mode patch cords to the module and to the corresponding transceiver or patch panel on the remote end, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify device support for 1000BASE‑ZX operation and enable or confirm link settings in the network equipment. If available and supported by the host, monitor the module using DDM/DOM functions for real‑time diagnostics.

Recommendations

For optimal long‑reach performance, use high-quality single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, verify compatibility with the host device's SFP support list, and ensure DDM/DOM support if remote diagnostics are required. Observe ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and keep dust caps on the optical ports until final connection to protect the fiber interfaces.
