Network transceiver module MicroOptics GLC-BX10-U SFP fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s

MicroOptics GLC-BX10-U is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module that supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is designed for use with single-mode fiber. The compact SFP form factor allows easy insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters to extend links or interconnect network equipment in access and aggregation layers. The module provides a standardized electrical and optical interface for creating point-to-point fiber connections over single-mode cabling.

Advantages

The SFP form factor offers hot-pluggable convenience and a small footprint compatible with many network devices. Support for a 1250 Mbit/s data rate makes the module suitable for standard Gigabit Ethernet and legacy fiber interfaces that use 1.25 Gbit/s signaling. Designed for single-mode fiber, the transceiver enables longer reach and lower attenuation compared with multimode options. Compatibility with common SFP slots simplifies deployment and replacement without changing existing equipment.

Suitable for

• Extending links between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Interconnecting access and aggregation network equipment
• Use in media converters to convert copper ports to single-mode fiber
• Replacing or upgrading transceivers in SFP-capable devices

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your network device until it latches, then connect a single-mode fiber patch cable to the optical port. Ensure the transmit and receive fibers are correctly oriented between endpoints. Configure the connected devices as required for link speed and duplex in the device management interface. For safe removal, use the device's port disable procedure if available, then gently release and pull the module out by its housing.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment to avoid contamination of optical surfaces. Use dust caps on the optical connector when the module is not connected. Verify device compatibility with SFP slots and consult link budget or distance requirements for single-mode fiber applications.
