Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics GLC-LH-SMD-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP 1310 nm

The BlueOptics GLC-LH-SMD-BO is a 1000BASE-LX compatible SFP fiber optic transceiver module with LC duplex connector, designed for single-mode fiber links. It operates at 1310 nm wavelength and supports data rates up to 1250 Mbit/s with reach up to 10 km, providing interoperability with hardware platforms that support the Cisco GLC-LH-SMD 1000BASE-LX SFP. The module is manufactured to MSA standards and includes digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver offers MSA-compliant electrical and mechanical fit for broad compatibility, DDM/DOM support for simplified maintenance, and components sourced from established suppliers to ensure long operational lifetime. It supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet applications at up to 1.25 Gbit/s and is designed for high availability with long MTBF.

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords according to the device’s transmit/receive labeling; ensure correct polarity. Verify that the host hardware supports third-party or Cisco GLC-LH-SMD compatible SFPs and enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the management interface if required. Observe proper ESD precautions when handling the module and keep dust caps on unused connectors.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and, where possible, a BlueOptics patch panel to achieve optimal link performance. Confirm DDM/DOM support in the host device to monitor module parameters remotely and schedule periodic inspections to maintain link availability.
