SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GLSD-50-A-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GLSD-50-A-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s) optical links at a wavelength of 850 nm. Housed in metal and powered by a 3.3 V supply, the module weighs approximately 3 g and fits standard SFP ports with an LC duplex interface. It supports multimode fiber connections and implements the physical characteristics required for 1000Base-SX class applications, enabling reliable short-range optical data transmission in network switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standard SFP form factor with an LC duplex connector and is compatible with equipment that supports 1000Base-SX optics. Its metal housing offers mechanical durability and thermal conduction while the low weight and standard 3.3 V operation simplify installation and integration. Designed and manufactured to MSA-compliant dimensions and optical parameters, the module supports common high-speed protocols and, when used with appropriate multimode fiber, enables distances typically associated with 850 nm multimode links.

How to use

Power down the host device or follow hot‑swap procedures supported by your equipment, then insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode patch cords to the transceiver and the remote device, observing transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host platform supports 1000Base-SX optics and, if required, enable or verify Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support in the device firmware to monitor module parameters. After connection, verify link status and data transmission through your switch or router management interface.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords and fiber patch panels rated for 850 nm to achieve expected reach; verify hardware compatibility with 1000Base-SX SFP modules and enable DDM/DOM on supported platforms for remote diagnostics and monitoring.
