Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics GLC-BX-D-1550D-20-BO 1000 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics GLC-BX-D-1550D-20-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module in an SFP form factor designed for 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet links. The module uses single‑fiber bidirectional transmission and is supplied in a silver housing, meeting RoHS environmental standards. It is intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters to extend fiber connections over standard single‑mode fiber.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact, hot‑pluggable design that enables fast installation and replacement without powering down equipment. The 1000 Mbit/s rate supports Gigabit Ethernet applications, while the single‑fiber bidirectional operation simplifies cabling and reduces fiber count. Compliance with RoHS ensures the module follows environmental and material restrictions.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Longer distance single‑mode fiber connections using bidirectional wavelengths
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports in managed and unmanaged network devices
• Network equipment in data centers, telecom closets and campus networks

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form‑factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Transmission type: Fiber optic, bidirectional single‑fiber
• Wavelength: designed for 1550 nm downstream/upstream pairing (device-specific)
• Material/finish: silver‑coloured housing
• Environmental compliance: RoHS

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port until it clicks into place, observing the module orientation recommended by the host device. Connect the single‑mode fiber cable using the appropriate LC connector and ensure the matching wavelength pair is used at the remote end for bidirectional operation. After physical installation, verify link status and configure the host device interface if required by your network equipment.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver by its metal housing and avoid touching the optical interface. Keep dust caps in place when the transceiver is not connected. Verify compatibility with the host device and confirm required wavelength pairing and link parameters before deployment.
