SFP transceiver module BlueOptics AC-SFP-1000ZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics AC-SFP-1000ZX-BO is a single‑mode SFP transceiver module designed for fiber optic connections with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a durable metal casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module follows MSA SFP form-factor standards and provides long operational life with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. It supports LC duplex connections for simultaneous transmit and receive channels and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module offers reliable 1000BASE-ZX optical transmission over long distances using 1550 nm wavelength components and an LC duplex interface. Compliance with MSA mechanical and electrical specifications ensures broad interoperability with switches, routers and storage systems that support standard SFP modules. A robust metal housing and tested component selection contribute to extended service life and stable optical performance.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach single‑mode Ethernet links up to typical 10s of kilometers
• Interconnects between switches and routers with SFP ports
• Fiber connections in data center and telecom access equipment
• Upgrading or replacing optical transceivers in compatible hardware

• Optical wavelength: 1550 nm (transmit and receive)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber
• Housing: metal
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot on compatible network equipment following the device manufacturer’s hot‑swap guidelines. Connect LC duplex single‑mode patch cords to the module’s connectors, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify the device firmware and software support for third‑party SFP modules and, if available, enable digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) in the host hardware to monitor optical parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias, output power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use certified single‑mode LC duplex patch cords and, where possible, test the link after installation to confirm signal levels and link stability. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE‑ZX and DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is required. Keep the transceiver capped when not in use and avoid exposure to dust and physical shock to maintain long service life.
