SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1000LX-S-20KM-T-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-1000LX-S-20KM-T-BO is a single‑module SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000BASE‑LX networks. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is intended for single‑mode fiber links up to 20 km. The module is compact and lightweight (approximately 20 g) with a silver housing and an LC duplex optical interface compatible with MSA SFP form‑factor equipment. It transmits and receives at 1310 nm wavelength and supports common Ethernet and fibre channel over Ethernet applications within its 1.25 Gbit/s class.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a standardized SFP form factor for hot‑pluggable installation in switches, routers and other networking hardware that accept SFP modules. Its single‑mode 1310 nm optics and LC duplex connector enable simultaneous transmit and receive channels over one fiber pair, providing stable optical links up to 20 km. The lightweight silver metal housing simplifies handling and installation while meeting common mechanical and electrical SFP module specifications.

How to use

Install the module into an available SFP slot on compatible network equipment with the unit powered according to the host device manual. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode patch cord between the transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. Verify link status and speed on the host device and ensure that any required device firmware or software accepts third‑party SFP modules. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query the diagnostics functions to monitor optical power, temperature and supply status.

Recommendations

Use quality single‑mode LC duplex patch cords and adhere to bend radius limits for fiber cabling. Confirm host compatibility and, where available, enable DDM/DOM monitoring for proactive maintenance. For long term reliability, install modules in environments within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature and humidity ranges and avoid exposing fiber ends to dust—clean connectors before mating.
