BlueOptics SFP-GD-XD-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GD-XD-BO is a single-port SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s optical links at a nominal wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a compact metal casing and weighing approximately 3 g, the module operates from a 3.3 V supply and provides an LC duplex interface for single‑mode fiber connections. It supports 1000BASE‑EX class links with simultaneous transmit and receive over separate fibers and is designed to meet common MSA SFP form‑factor standards for broad compatibility with network switches, routers and storage devices.

Advantages

The module’s metal housing offers mechanical durability and thermal stability while its low weight simplifies handling and installation. Operation at 1550 nm enables long-reach single‑mode transmission, and the 1250 Mbit/s line rate supports Gigabit Ethernet and related protocols. Compliance with SFP MSA mechanical and electrical requirements ensures straightforward integration into systems that accept SFP transceivers.

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into an SFP slot until it latches according to the host device’s instructions. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the module’s receptacle—observe transmit (TX) and receive (RX) orientation so each transceiver is connected to the opposite fiber on the remote end. Verify link presence and speed on the host device and ensure that any required configuration (such as enabling the SFP port or setting the interface to 1000BASE‑EX) is applied. If the host supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor diagnostic parameters as needed for maintenance.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality single‑mode LC patch cords and proper cable management to achieve the rated reach and reduce insertion loss. Confirm compatibility with the specific host platform before deployment and verify that any required DDM/DOM support is provided by the device firmware to access diagnostic data. For long-term reliability, avoid mechanical stress on the transceiver and fiber connectors and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and installation.
