SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GZX-LC-110E-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GZX-LC-110E-BO is a single-mode fiber SFP transceiver designed for 1000BASE-ZX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 1550 nm, has an LC duplex optical connector, and is housed in a compact metal case. The module operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g, providing a standardized SFP interface for insertion into SFP-capable network equipment.

Advantages

The transceiver uses a metal housing and follows SFP form-factor standards, offering mechanical robustness and broad interoperability with devices that accept standard SFP modules. Its single-mode 1550 nm optical design enables long-distance optical links typical for 1000BASE-ZX deployments. The compact, lightweight module and standardized electrical interface simplify installation and replacement in switches, routers and other network devices.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Interconnection between switches, routers and optical network equipment
• Upgrading SFP-enabled hardware to support 1550 nm single-mode connections

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1550 nm (single-mode)
• Connector: LC duplex optical connector
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal
• Weight: ~3 g

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP modules and that the firmware allows the use of third-party transceivers if applicable. Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer, insert the SFP module into the SFP port until it latches, and connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords with correct polarity. After insertion, verify link status on the host device and confirm the link speed and optical parameters through the device management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for 1550 nm and observe proper fiber handling to avoid contamination. Verify that the host hardware supports the required 1000BASE-ZX mode and, if needed, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the device to monitor optical parameters when supported by the equipment.
