SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-BXU-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics SFP-BXU-BO is a single-port fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s) optical links. Housed in a metal case with a silver finish and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module follows MSA mechanical and electrical standards and is intended for single-mode fiber applications with LC-Simplex connection. The module is specified with a high MTBF, supporting long operational life in network equipment that accepts standard SFP form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

This transceiver provides 1.25 Gbit/s data throughput in a compact SFP form factor, combining robust metal housing and lightweight design for easy handling and installation. Compliance with MSA SFP standards ensures broad interoperability with switches, routers and other network devices. The module is built for long service life with a high MTBF value and supports optical transmission over single-mode fiber using separate transmit and receive wavelengths, enabling simplex LC connections and predictable link behavior.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-BXU-BO by inserting the SFP module into an appropriate, powered-down or hot-swap capable SFP slot on your switch, router or storage device following the device manufacturer's instructions. Connect a single-mode LC patch cable to the module's LC simplex connector, ensuring the correct orientation for transmit and receive ends according to your link planning. Verify the link status via the host device interface and, if available, use the host's diagnostic tools to confirm operational parameters. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver and keep protective caps on the fiber connector when not in use.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and ensure the remote endpoint is compatible with a BX-U wavelength plan. If Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support is required, confirm that the host hardware exposes these functions. For reliable long-term operation, maintain a clean fiber connection, avoid excessive bending of fiber cables, and verify firmware or vendor compatibility when replacing existing optics.
