Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics GLC-SX-MM-RGD-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP 850 nm

The BlueOptics GLC-SX-MM-RGD-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for multi-mode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength. The module uses an SFP interface with an LC duplex optical connector, is lightweight (approximately 20 g), and comes in a silver housing. It is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP transceivers for short-range optical connections over multi-mode fiber.

Advantages

The module provides standardized SFP form-factor compatibility and supports 1000Base-SX data rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s over multi-mode fiber. Its 850 nm transmitter/receiver pair enables reliable short-range optical transmission. The compact, MSA-compliant design simplifies installation in switches, routers, and storage devices that accept SFP transceivers. With a lightweight metal housing and common LC duplex interface, the module is convenient for patch panel or direct transceiver-to-transceiver connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it latches and is recognized by the host. Connect LC duplex multi-mode fiber patch cords to the transmitter and receiver ports, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive fibers. Verify link status and data rate on the host device; configure interface settings as required by your network equipment. Follow the equipment vendor's guidelines for hot-plugging and firmware compatibility when deploying the module.

Recommendations

Use high-quality OM3/OM4 multi-mode fiber patch cords and maintain correct fiber polarity for optimal link performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports SFP modules with DDM/DOM features if you require digital diagnostics. For short-range links, ensure fiber attenuation and connector cleanliness are within acceptable limits to achieve the specified range and reliable operation.
