SFP transceiver BlueOptics GLC-SX-MM 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm Silver

The BlueOptics GLC-SX-MM 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm Silver is an SFP transceiver module for multimode fiber links. Designed to fit standard SFP ports, this compact optical module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at an 850 nm wavelength. The module's silver housing and 20 g weight make it compatible with rack-mounted switches and routers where space and form factor compliance are required. It is intended for short-reach fiber connections in enterprise and data center networks.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides interoperable compatibility with devices supporting SFP form factor and 850 nm multimode optics. The 1250 Mbit/s data rate supports Gigabit Ethernet links and similar serial interfaces. Its compact, lightweight design reduces mechanical load on equipment ports, while the standardized SFP interface simplifies hot-swap replacement and system upgrades. The silver metal housing offers passive protection and thermal stability in typical networking environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics GLC-SX-MM into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router, or transceiver cage while the host device is powered according to the equipment vendor's hot-swap guidelines. Connect a multimode fiber cable terminated with the appropriate connector (typically LC) to the module's optical interface. Verify link status and negotiated speed via the host device management interface. To remove, follow the reverse procedure and handle the optical interfaces with dust caps to prevent contamination.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3 multimode fiber as specified by your network design and keep dust caps on when the transceiver is not connected. Verify compatibility with the host device documentation to ensure supported link distances and fiber types for 850 nm multimode operation.
