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

The BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GSXLC-BO is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver designed for 1.25 Gbit/s class networks. It supports optical single-mode links at a wavelength of 1310 nm, is built in a metal housing, and operates from a 3.3 V supply. The module uses an LC duplex-style optical interface and is intended for insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and other network equipment that accept standard SFP modules. With a compact silver metal casing and a lightweight construction around 20 g, this transceiver provides a space-efficient option for point-to-point fiber connections up to long distances.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers up to 1250 Mbit/s throughput over optical fiber and supports maximum link lengths suitable for long-reach single-mode deployments. Its metal housing offers mechanical robustness and thermal conductivity while the SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable installation without powering down the host device. Low voltage operation (3.3 V) and a small weight make it compatible with a wide range of networking hardware. The LC connector supports duplex transmission, allowing simultaneous send and receive on separate fibers.

Key specifications

How to use

Before installation, verify the host device supports standard SFP modules and confirm the intended fiber type and polairty. Insert the transceiver into an empty SFP slot until it latches; the module is hot-pluggable so insertion or removal can be done without powering down compatible equipment. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct fiber orientation for bidirectional communication. Configure the host port settings according to your network requirements and monitor link status indicators on the device to confirm successful negotiation.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate LC duplex patch cords and, where applicable, an inline patch panel to achieve the rated link distances. Keep connectors clean and capped when not in use to maintain optical performance. Verify firmware or vendor compatibility notes for the host equipment to ensure full functionality in your network environment.
