SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-ZY 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-160KM-ZY is a single‑channel fiber optic SFP transceiver module that supports data transfer rates up to 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Designed for long‑reach fiber connections, this module provides stable optical links for point‑to‑point and network backbone applications where distance and signal integrity are priorities.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers long-distance transmission capability with low insertion loss and stable single-mode performance, enabling reliable connectivity over extended fiber runs. Its industry-standard SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, while the 1550 nm wavelength and 1250 Mbit/s data rate support typical gigabit Ethernet and optical transport applications. The compact design simplifies installation and replacement in rack-mounted switches, routers and media converters.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single‑mode fiber links
• Metro and carrier network segments
• Data center uplinks and interbuilding connections
• Enterprise backbone and campus networks

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1550 nm
• Optimized for long‑reach single‑mode fiber up to 160 km (typical application)
• Form factor: hot‑swappable SFP module

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down or, if supported, use hot‑swap insertion following the equipment vendor's guidelines. Connect an appropriate single‑mode fiber cable terminated with compatible connectors, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Confirm link status through the host device management interface and verify optical power levels and link integrity using diagnostic tools if available.

Recommendations

Use this module with single‑mode fiber and equipment that supports 1550 nm SFP modules. Follow proper ESD precautions during handling, maintain clean connector endfaces, and verify compatibility with the host device firmware to ensure optimal performance and link stability.
