SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFPGLX20B15-w-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics SFPGLX20B15-w-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for data transmission up to 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact silver SFP case and weighing approximately 20 g, the module uses an LC simplex connector and complies with common MSA form-factor specifications. It supports 1000BASE-BX-D type operation with separate wavelengths for transmit and receive, enabling point-to-point links over single-mode fiber.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable gigabit-class optical connectivity with support for up to 20 km range on single-mode fiber. Manufactured to MSA-compatible mechanical and electrical standards, it supports common network protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet and integrates with hardware that accepts SFP modules. Built with tested optical components and supporting Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), the module enables remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point fiber links between switches and routers
• Long-distance uplinks in campus and metro networks
• Interconnection of storage systems and servers
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP ports supporting 1000BASE-BX-D

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA form factor)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Optical type: single-mode fiber support with LC simplex connector
• Wavelength: typically TX at 1310 nm and RX at 1550 nm for BX-D operation
• Typical link distance: up to 20 km (depends on fiber and loss budget)
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Color: silver metal housing
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (if host supports it)

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or other networking device while the host supports SFP modules. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cord matching the BX-D wavelength plan (one fiber for TX and RX) to the transceiver and to the remote transceiver or patch panel. Ensure the device firmware and hardware support 1000BASE-BX-D operation and DDM if monitoring is required. Verify link status and, if available, check diagnostic values through the host management interface.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and a quality LC simplex patch cord to achieve the specified range. Verify interoperability with the target hardware and enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring only when the host supports SFP DDM/DOM reporting. Store and handle the transceiver in a clean environment, avoid touching the optical interfaces, and use dust caps when not connected.
