SFP transceiver BlueOptics AC-SFP-1000LX-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics AC-SFP-1000LX-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module that supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact metal casing and weighing 20 g, the module implements the SFP interface and is designed for single-mode LC duplex connections. It provides a standardized form factor for insertion into compatible network equipment and offers long MTBF for continuous operation.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized SFP interface for easy hot-plug installation in switches, routers and other compatible devices. A metal housing offers mechanical robustness and EMI shielding, while the small 20 g form factor minimizes space and weight impact in dense installations. With a rated mean time between failures of 1,000,000 hours and support for 1250 Mbit/s line rates, the module is suitable for sustained network use and long-term deployment.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber links with LC duplex connectors
• Gigabit Ethernet and similar 1.25 G applications
• Hot-pluggable upgrades or replacements in network switches and routers
• Environments requiring compact, metal-housed SFP modules

How to use

Ensure the host device supports standard SFP modules and that the required single-mode fiber cabling with LC duplex connectors is available. Power down or follow the equipment vendor's hot-swap procedure, insert the SFP module into the host SFP cage until it seats firmly, and connect the LC duplex patch cords to the transmit and receive ports. After insertion, verify link status in the host device management interface and confirm the module operates at the expected 1.25 G line rate. Follow the device vendor instructions for enabling any required digital diagnostic features or monitoring.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and, when possible, route fibers through patch panels to preserve fiber endface cleanliness. Verify compatibility with the target host hardware and confirm support for digital diagnostic monitoring if you need real-time parameter reporting. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and avoid mechanical stress on the connector ferrules to maintain performance.
