SFP transceiver BlueOptics GLC-LH-SM-40-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics GLC-LH-SM-40-BO is an SFP transceiver module for single-mode fiber networks. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module uses an SFP interface and is fitted with an LC duplex optical connector according to MSA standards, providing a compact, hot-pluggable solution for fiber-optic links up to typical long-haul ranges.

Advantages

The transceiver is lightweight and compact, with a silver enclosure that meets standard SFP mechanical and electrical dimensions. It supports 1000BASE-LH optical transmission over single-mode fiber and implements digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when supported by host hardware. Production and component selection follow MSA-compliant guidelines to ensure interoperability with a wide range of network equipment that accepts the same optical specifications.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on compatible network equipment while the device is powered down or following the host vendor's hot-plug instructions. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status through the host device management interface and enable DDM/DOM monitoring if supported to read real-time diagnostics such as optical power and temperature. Follow the network hardware vendor's guidelines for any necessary software or firmware compatibility settings.

Recommendations

Ensure the target switch, router or storage system supports SFP modules with the same electrical and optical specifications. Use single-mode LC duplex patch cords, verify fiber polarity, and confirm DDM/DOM support on the host for monitoring. Keep connectors clean and handle the transceiver by its metal housing to avoid contamination or damage to the optical interface.
