SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFPGLX10-w-BO Fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFPGLX10-w-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module has an LC duplex interface and a compact, lightweight metal housing in silver, making it suitable for installation in switches, routers and other network devices that accept SFP form-factor modules. It supports 1000BASE-LX optical transmission over single-mode fiber and includes standard electrical and mechanical compliance to SFP MSA specifications.

Advantages

The transceiver provides stable 1.25 Gbit/s-class optical links with simultaneous transmit and receive channels via an LC duplex connector. Its small, industry-standard SFP form factor allows hot-plug installation and replacement without powering down the host device. The metal housing and tested component selection contribute to predictable operating lifetime and thermal behavior while maintaining electromagnetic immunity inherent to fiber-optic links.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks (1000BASE-LX) over single-mode fiber
• Inter-switch or switch-to-router connections in enterprise networks
• Storage networking and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Long-distance single-mode fiber links where LC duplex connectors are used

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Optical standard: 1000BASE-LX (single-mode)
• Maximum data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Connector: LC duplex
• Transmit wavelength (typical): 1310 nm
• Receiver wavelength (typical): 1310 nm
• Typical reach: up to approximately 10 km on single-mode fiber (application dependent)
• Product colour: silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port until it locks in place; hot-plugging is supported on most switches and routers. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable matching the transmit and receive orientation. Configure the host device for the corresponding interface and verify link status in the device management console. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the module’s parameters for supply voltage, laser bias, output power, received power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber and quality patch cords to achieve optimal reach and signal integrity. Confirm host device compatibility with MSA-compliant SFP modules and enable DDM only if the hardware supports the diagnostic interface. Store and handle the module by the housing, protect the optical interfaces with dust caps when not connected, and avoid exposing the transceiver to excessive mechanical shock or contaminants.
