Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics GLC-LX-SM-RGD-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics GLC-LX-SM-RGD-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 1310 nm. It uses an LC duplex optical connector and an SFP electrical interface, providing a compact, hot‑pluggable module for installation in compatible network equipment. The module is designed to support up to approximately 10 km link distance over single‑mode fiber when used with appropriate cabling and complementary transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver follows the Multi‑Source Agreement (MSA) form factor and is compatible with equipment that accepts the Cisco GLC‑LX‑SM‑RGD specification. It enables simultaneous transmit and receive operation over separate fibers via LC duplex connections and includes support for digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host device exposes the feature. The lightweight silver module is intended for reliable optical connectivity with long operating lifetime and reduced sensitivity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper links.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics GLC‑LX‑SM‑RGD‑BO into an empty SFP port on a powered, compatible device following the host vendor’s hot‑swap procedures. Use an LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cable to connect the transmit and receive fibers correctly (TX to RX). If DDM/DOM information is required, verify that the host device supports and enables digital diagnostics to retrieve parameters such as optical power, temperature and supply voltage. Observe electrostatic discharge precautions and avoid excessive bending or stress on fiber cables during installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the transceiver with single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for the intended distance, and verify compatibility with the specific switch or router model. Ensure fiber connectors are clean before mating and monitor DDM values after installation to confirm link health.
