SFP transceiver module BlueOptics AC-SFP-SXOM3-E-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics AC-SFP-SXOM3-E-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-X applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a metal casing and weighing 20 g, this compact SFP module supports LC duplex connections over multimode fiber and follows MSA form-factor and electrical specifications for plug-and-play use in compatible network equipment. The module includes transmit and receive wavelengths centered at 1310 nm and offers long operational reliability with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours.

Advantages

The module provides reliable gigabit optical connectivity in a small SFP form factor, with a metal housing that helps with thermal dissipation and physical robustness. Compliance with MSA standards ensures interoperability with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems that support 1000BASE-X SFP modules. Integrated design and quality components deliver diagnostic capability and stable performance over long operating periods.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and inter-switch links over multimode fiber
• Fiber connections in routers, switches and storage systems supporting SFP
• Replacing or extending existing 1000BASE-X fiber ports in enterprise and data center networks
• Applications requiring compact, modular transceivers with MSA compatibility

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP module into an empty SFP slot on a switch, router or compatible network device while the host device is powered on or follow the equipment manufacturer's hot-plugging guidance. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module's connector, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive alignment. Verify link status and speed on the host device; if Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) is supported by the host, use the management interface to read real-time parameters such as optical power, temperature and supply voltage. Follow any vendor-specific compatibility notes for firmware or port configuration.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver with care: avoid exposure to dust and contaminants on the fiber connector, store with protective caps when not in use, and ensure proper ESD precautions during installation. Use quality multimode LC patch cords and patch panels to achieve the specified reach and signal integrity. Confirm host device support for 1000BASE-X SFP modules and DDM if monitoring is required.
