SFP transceiver BlueOptics TOM-1G-ZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics TOM-1G-ZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode long-distance network links. Housed in a metal casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this compact transceiver supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at a wavelength of 1550 nm. It is intended for use in standard SFP slots and is compatible with equipment that accepts SFP form-factor modules.

Advantages

The metal housing provides mechanical durability and improved heat dissipation compared with plastic enclosures. Support for a 1550 nm wavelength enables longer fiber reach on single-mode infrastructure. The compact SFP form factor allows easy installation and hot-swapping in compatible network switches, routers or media converters. The module’s silver finish and standardized interface make it suitable for mixed-vendor environments.

Suitable for

• Long-reach single-mode fiber links
• Gigabit Ethernet and network uplinks requiring 1250 Mbit/s SFP modules
• Data center or telecom aggregation where SFP form-factor is required
• Replacement or expansion of existing fiber transceiver ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1550 nm
• Housing material: metal
• Product colour: silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it latches securely. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with the appropriate connector to the transceiver’s optical port, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. Power on the networking equipment and verify link status via device indicators or management interface. For safe removal, disable the port in the host device if supported, then press the release mechanism and pull the module out straight to avoid damaging the cage or connector.

Recommendations

Use this 1550 nm SFP in single-mode fiber installations where longer reach is required. Ensure that connected equipment supports SFP modules and the 1250 Mbit/s data rate. Protect optical connectors from dust and contamination by using dust caps when the module is not connected and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver.
