SFP transceiver module BlueOptics GMFIBER-SFP-50K-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics GMFIBER-SFP-50K-BO is a single‑port SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for Gigabit optical links with a nominal data rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact silver SFP enclosure with an LC duplex connector, the module supports long‑reach single‑fiber transmission up to 80,000 m and is intended for integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other networking equipment that accept standard MSA SFP form‑factor modules. The transceiver provides separate transmit and receive channels at 1550 nm and is produced to meet common MSA compatibility expectations for plug‑and‑play use in supported hardware.

Advantages

The module offers a long maximum transfer distance of up to 80 km while remaining compact and lightweight (approximately 20 g). The LC duplex fiber connector and standard SFP form factor ensure broad compatibility with existing network devices. Components and design follow MSA guidelines to help deliver stable optical performance, low electromagnetic interference susceptibility, and support for optical diagnostics where the host system implements DDM/DOM functions.

How to use

Insert the GMFIBER-SFP-50K-BO module into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cables to the module’s LC ports, ensuring correct TX–RX alignment with the remote transceiver. Verify link status on the host device and, if available, enable or query the digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) interface for live monitoring of optical parameters. Follow the host hardware vendor’s guidance for any required firmware settings or port configuration.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber and matching LC duplex patch cables rated for long‑reach transmission to achieve the specified 80 km distance. Ensure the host device supports the required wavelength and DDM/DOM if you need remote diagnostics. Observe standard handling practices for optical modules: avoid touching the fiber endfaces, keep protective caps on unused ports, and follow ESD precautions when inserting or removing the module.
