SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GD-LX-R-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GD-LX-R-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE‑LX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module comes in a metal housing, weighs approximately 3 g and requires a 3.3 V supply. It uses an LC duplex optical connector and is built to MSA form‑factor standards for compatibility with networking equipment that accepts SFP 1000BASE‑LX modules.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable optical transmission over single‑mode fiber for distances up to typical 10 km when used under appropriate link conditions. Metal housing ensures mechanical robustness and heat dissipation. The module’s adherence to MSA specifications and use of LC duplex interface promotes broad compatibility with switches, routers and optical modules from multiple vendors. Low weight and standard SFP form factor simplify installation and replacement in rack equipment.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the hardware vendor’s guidelines. Connect LC duplex single‑mode patch cords to the Tx/Rx ports, ensuring correct fiber polarity. Verify link status on the host device and configure the network interface for 1000BASE‑LX operation if required. For systems supporting digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or monitor the diagnostic interface through the host to read real‑time parameters such as supply voltage, optical power and temperature when supported.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified reach and minimize insertion loss. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE‑LX SFP modules and, if required, DDM/DOM functions. Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and keep dust caps on connectors until installation to avoid contamination.
