SFP transceiver module BlueOptics RED-SFP-GE-SX-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics RED-SFP-GE-SX-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a durable silver metal casing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this compact SFP module provides a standardized SFP interface for integration into switches, routers and other network devices that support SFP transceivers. The module is intended for multimode fiber connections using an LC duplex connector and is manufactured to conform with industry MSA specifications for physical and electrical compatibility.

Advantages

The module delivers a reliable optical link with a high MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a low weight that eases handling and installation. Its metal housing offers mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding while maintaining standard SFP form factor compatibility. The BlueOptics RED-SFP-GE-SX-BO supports common gigabit Ethernet and similar protocols at up to 1.25 Gbit/s over multimode fiber, enabling straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing SFP ports without requiring changes to host hardware.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics RED-SFP-GE-SX-BO into an empty SFP slot on the target device following the host vendor's hot-swap and handling guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation, verify link status and speed on the host device and confirm any required configuration, such as enabling the SFP port or setting negotiation parameters. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query those functions according to the system documentation to monitor optical parameters.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and ensure connectors and patch panels are clean to achieve optimal range and signal quality. Check compatibility with the host device's supported transceiver list and confirm that the network equipment supports DDM/DOM if optical monitoring is required.
