SFP transceiver BlueOptics GLC-LH-SM Fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics GLC-LH-SM Fiber optic SFP transceiver supports up to 1250 Mbit/s data transfer and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. This single-mode module is designed for reliable fiber network links and conforms to standard SFP form-factor dimensions for compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers and media converters. The transceiver enables point-to-point optical connections over single-mode fiber for access, distribution and core network segments where 1310 nm transmission is required.

Advantages

The module delivers stable optical transmission at 1310 nm with a maximum line rate of 1250 Mbit/s in the compact SFP form factor, allowing easy hot-swap installation and replacement. Its single-mode design supports longer reach fiber links compared with multimode alternatives and the standardized interface ensures interoperability with equipment that accepts SFP optics. The product offers a practical balance of speed, reach and form-factor compatibility for common fiber networking tasks.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics GLC-LH-SM transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the equipment is powered or as permitted by the host device's hot-swap procedure. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with appropriate connectors (typically LC) to the transceiver port and ensure the opposite end is connected to the corresponding device or patch panel. Verify link status through the host device's LEDs or management interface and confirm that the port is configured for the required speed and duplex settings if applicable.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber and matching connector types, keep optical connectors clean to avoid signal loss, and verify compatibility with the host equipment's approved optics list if required by the manufacturer. For best results in longer links, ensure fiber end-face quality and proper cable routing to minimize attenuation.
