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

The BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-ZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s is a single-port fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for gigabit Ethernet links over long distances. The module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and uses a compact SFP form factor that fits standard SFP cages. With a nickel-coloured metal housing and a weight of approximately 20 g, the transceiver offers a lightweight solution for adding fiber connectivity to switches, routers, or media converters. Certified to RoHS, CE, FCC and manufactured under an ISO9001 quality system, this module is compatible with Waystream SFP-1000Base-ZX devices and intended for reliable data transmission in network infrastructure.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-ZX-BO provides a standardized SFP interface that simplifies installation and replacement in compatible network equipment. Its compact metal housing and low weight reduce mechanical strain on ports while ensuring adequate shielding. Certification to common regulatory and quality standards supports predictable interoperability. The transceiver’s design focuses on stable gigabit transmission over fiber links, making it suitable for deployments where consistent throughput and long-reach connectivity are required.

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures for your network device according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Insert the BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-ZX-BO into an empty SFP slot until it latches securely, then connect the appropriate single-mode fiber cable with matching connectors. Restore power or confirm device recognition; the host system should detect the transceiver and negotiate link parameters at the supported data rate. Monitor link LEDs and system logs to verify successful negotiation and stable operation.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and compatible connectors rated for long-reach ZX optics, and ensure transceiver firmware and device compatibility with the SFP interface. Handle the module by its housing, avoid touching the optical interfaces, and keep protective caps in place when not connected. For best performance, follow link budgeting and fiber attenuation guidelines appropriate to long-distance gigabit links.
