SFP transceiver BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GLSXLC-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GLSXLC-BO is an SFP fiber-optic transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s class links. It supports optical transmission at 1310 nm and fits into any SFP slot that follows MSA standards. Housed in a compact metal casing and powered by a 3.3 V input, this Silver-coloured module weighs about 20 g and provides a straightforward way to add or replace fiber uplinks in switches, routers and other network appliances.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers standardized form factor compatibility and supports common optical protocols up to 1250 Mbit/s, enabling reliable single-fiber send/receive operation when used with LC duplex fiber cabling. The metal housing provides physical protection and thermal stability, while adherence to MSA specifications promotes interoperability across multiple vendors. The module’s lightweight design and plug-and-play SFP interface allow fast installation and minimal downtime when upgrading or maintaining network links.

Key specifications

How to use

Power off the host device or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor, then insert the SFP module into an empty SFP slot until it seats securely. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cables ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. After physical installation, verify link status via the host device’s management interface and configure interface settings (speed, duplex, auto-negotiation) as required. If the device requires specific driver or software settings for third-party modules, consult the host vendor documentation for any compatibility options.

Recommendations

Use matched BlueOptics or equivalent LC duplex fiber patch cords and observe proper fiber handling to avoid contamination of connectors. Ensure that the transceiver’s wavelength and fiber type (singlemode vs. multimode) are suitable for the planned link distance and equipment. When installing in high-density environments, allow adequate airflow for cooling and verify firmware or compatibility lists on critical hardware before deployment.
