SFP transceiver BlueOptics EX-SFP-1GE-LX-BO 12500 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics EX-SFP-1GE-LX-BO is a single-mode SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1.25 Gbit/s applications using a 1310 nm wavelength. It supports the SFP interface and fits devices with MSA-compliant SFP ports. The module has an LC duplex optical connector, a compact silver housing and a lightweight construction (approx. 20 g). It is intended for reliable optical links in switches, routers and other network equipment that accept 1000BASE-LX SFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized SFP form factor for easy hot-plug installation and interchangeability across MSA-compliant platforms. With a 1310 nm transmitter/receiver pair it enables single-mode fiber links up to typical LX distances and supports Ethernet and related high-speed applications up to 1.25 Gbit/s. The module meets common regulatory standards (RoHS, CE, FCC) and is specified with a high MTBF, indicating long operational lifetime and reduced maintenance demands.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics EX-SFP-1GE-LX-BO into any compatible MSA SFP slot with the device powered on or off according to the host equipment documentation. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the transceiver, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host interface for the intended protocol (for example 1000BASE-LX Ethernet) and verify link status through the switch or router management interface. If the host supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor available parameters such as optical power, temperature and supply voltage for proactive maintenance.

Recommendations

For best performance, use single-mode fiber and quality LC duplex patch cords rated for 1310 nm. Verify that the host device permits third-party SFP modules and, if DDM/DOM is required, ensure the host supports this feature. Perform link tests and monitor optical levels after installation to confirm margin and expected reach.
