SFP transceiver BlueOptics SP-GB-LX-IDFN 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SP-GB-LX-IDFN 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for serial data transmission at 1250 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, this compact SFP module provides a standardized small form-factor pluggable interface for insertion into compatible network equipment. The module's lightweight silver housing and SFP interface make it suitable for integration into switches, routers and media converters where reliable short- to medium-distance optical links are required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver supports a 1250 Mbit/s data rate and a 1310 nm operating wavelength, providing compatibility with existing single-mode fiber infrastructures. Its SFP interface ensures hot-pluggable convenience and wide interoperability with networking hardware that accepts SFP modules. The module's compact size and low weight reduce space and weight constraints in densely populated chassis or edge devices. Built to standard optical specifications, it enables predictable optical performance and straightforward replacement or upgrade of transceiver ports.

Suitable for

• Establishing single-mode fiber links in enterprise and data center networks
• Upgrading or expanding SFP-compatible switches, routers and media converters
• Connecting devices over short to medium distances where 1310 nm operation is preferred
• Replacing failed or incompatible SFP transceivers with a standardized module

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SP-GB-LX-IDFN into an available SFP port of a compatible switch, router or media converter while the device is powered on or off, as supported by the equipment. Ensure the module is fully seated and the retention mechanism is engaged. Connect single-mode fiber patch cables to the transceiver's optical connector, observing correct TX/RX orientation. Configure the network device as required for the desired link speed and optical settings. Monitor link status through the host device to confirm a stable optical connection.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber cabling that matches the 1310 nm wavelength range and maintain clean connector endfaces to prevent signal loss. Verify compatibility with the host device's SFP interface and supported data rates before installation. For best performance, handle the transceiver by the housing, avoid touching optical interfaces, and store with protective caps when not in use.
