Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GE-SM-10-BIDI-TX1310-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GE-SM-10-BIDI-TX1310-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module engineered for reliable 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet optical links. Constructed with an aluminium housing and an LC connector, this bidirectional (BiDi) SFP supports long-distance point-to-point transmission over single-mode fiber with a maximum transfer distance of up to 20,000 m and a lightweight form factor of approximately 20 g. The module is designed to comply with common MSA-based SFP standards and fits into systems that accept standard SFP transceivers for 1000BASE-BX-U/BX-D style applications.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact, industry-standard SFP footprint with an aluminium enclosure that aids thermal dissipation and mechanical stability. Its LC simplex connector and BiDi capability allow simultaneous transmit and receive on a single fiber, reducing fiber infrastructure requirements. With support for up to 1.25 Gbit/s optical throughput and a 20 km link range over single-mode fiber, the module is suitable for extended network segments while keeping weight and size minimal.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into an SFP slot of a compatible switch, router, media converter or other network device while the host is powered down if the device vendor recommends it. Connect an LC single-mode fiber patch cable between transceivers on each end of the link, ensuring correct mating of the BiDi wavelengths (TX on one end to RX on the other). Follow your equipment documentation to verify link negotiation and speed settings; the module operates at 1.25 Gbit/s optical line rate. Confirm that the host device supports DDM/DOM if digital diagnostics are required for monitoring.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode LC patch cords and proper fiber management to minimise bends and attenuation. Verify vendor compatibility lists for the host hardware and enable any required SFP support in device software. If remote monitoring is needed, ensure the network device supports DDM/DOM to access live diagnostic parameters such as optical output power and temperature.
