BlueOptics SFPGSXD-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s SFP 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFPGSXD-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s) links over multimode fiber at an operating wavelength of 850 nm. Housed in a metal case and weighing approximately 2 g, this compact SFP module provides a standard LC duplex optical interface and complies with MSA form-factor expectations to fit SFP ports on switches, routers and other network devices that support 1000Base-SX transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver combines a compact metal housing and a 3.3 V supply requirement for straightforward integration into existing network equipment. It supports 1000Base-SX multimode optical transmission to distances typical for 850 nm technology and is suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to the module's specified range. The module's MSA-compatible design and LC duplex connector enable simple insertion and hot-plug replacement without system downtime.

How to use

Power down the host device or follow the vendor's hot-swap procedure, then insert the SFP module into an available SFP port until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords with the correct polarity between transceivers. Ensure the host device is configured for the intended link speed and protocol (for example, 1000Base-SX) and allow the device to detect the module. If supported by the system, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) features to observe real-time optical and electrical parameters for maintenance and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber rated for 850 nm (typically OM3/OM4 for extended reach) and high-quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve optimal link performance. Verify hardware compatibility with your switch or router vendor and confirm that DDM/DOM is supported if you require remote monitoring of optical parameters.
