SFP transceiver module BlueOptics EX-SFP-1GE-SX-ET-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver

The BlueOptics EX-SFP-1GE-SX-ET-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX multimode links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and uses LC Duplex connections according to MSA standards. The module transmits and receives optical signals at 850 nm and is painted silver with a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. It is CE, RoHS and FCC compliant and intended for reliable integration into common network hardware that accepts SFP modules.

Advantages

The EX-SFP-1GE-SX-ET-BO offers broad compatibility with hardware platforms that support standard 1000Base-SX SFP modules, enabling straightforward replacement or upgrade without vendor lock-in. Built to MSA dimensions and manufactured using selected components, the module provides stable optical transmission over multimode fiber and includes support for Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host system allows. Its small form factor, low weight and standardized LC Duplex interface simplify installation and cabling in dense networking environments.

How to use

Insert the EX-SFP-1GE-SX-ET-BO module into a compatible SFP slot on the switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-swap instructions. Connect an LC Duplex multimode fiber patch cable with matching connectors to the module’s LC ports, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. Ensure the host device supports 1000Base-SX operation and that any required module support or compatibility settings are enabled. When supported by the host, use the DDM/DOM interface to monitor real-time parameters such as optical power, voltage and temperature for diagnostics and maintenance.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use high-quality multimode fiber patch cables and keep fiber connectors clean. Verify host compatibility with 1000Base-SX SFP modules and enable DDM/DOM in the host system if remote diagnostics are required. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion/removal to prevent damage to the module or port.
