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

BlueOptics GLC-SX-MMD-BO is a 1250 Mbit/s SFP fiber optic transceiver module with an 850 nm transmitter and receiver pair for multimode fiber. The module uses an LC duplex connector and is built to MSA SFP standards for interoperability with compatible network hardware. It supports Ethernet, FCoE and SDH/SONET applications at line rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s and link distances up to 550 meters, and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) per SFF-8472 for real-time monitoring of voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

Advantages

The BlueOptics GLC-SX-MMD-BO offers MSA-compliant electrical, mechanical and functional compatibility with equipment that supports the Cisco GLC-SX-MMD module. It is manufactured with components from established suppliers (lasers and ICs) to provide extended operating life and an expected MTBF aligned with long-term industrial use. The SFP module is CE-, RoHS- and FCC-conformant and is tested for compatibility and functionality in supported hardware platforms.

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an appropriate SFP port on a switch, router or storage device that supports Cisco GLC-SX-MMD compatible modules. Connect the LC duplex multimode fiber patch cord—one fiber for transmit and one for receive—to establish the link. Ensure the host device firmware or software supports third-party modules and, if required, enable DDM/DOM monitoring to read module diagnostics. Use compatible BlueOptics patch cords or certified multimode cables and, where applicable, patch panels to achieve optimal link quality and distance.

Recommendations

Confirm DDM/DOM support in your hardware to access real-time diagnostics. For best results, use quality multimode fiber and LC duplex connectors, avoid tight bends in the fiber, and follow ESD handling procedures when installing the transceiver.
