SFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-BO is an SFP transceiver module for single-mode fiber connections that supports data transfer rates up to 1250 Mbit/s. It operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm and is housed in a compact, durable metal enclosure. The module uses a standard SFP interface and requires a 3.3 V input supply. With a lightweight design (approx. 3 g) and LC duplex optical interface compatibility by MSA standards, this module is intended for long-distance optical links where low insertion footprint and standard SFP form factor are required.

Advantages

The module provides long-reach optical transmission at 1550 nm, enabling connections over extended distances on single-mode fiber. Its metal housing offers mechanical robustness and EMI resilience while keeping weight and size minimal for easy installation into SFP ports. Compliance with common SFP/LC form-factor standards ensures interoperability with many networking devices that accept compatible 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber Ethernet links (1000BASE-ZX)
• Switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports that support 1.25 G optics
• Optical uplinks between data center racks or between sites
• Environments requiring compact, field-installable spare transceivers

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-1G-ZX-BO by inserting the module into an empty SFP slot of a compatible network device until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s optical ports, observing Tx/Rx orientation. Ensure the host device is configured for the appropriate 1000BASE-ZX or 1.25 G link settings and that the receiving endpoint supports the same wavelength and link standard. Power is supplied by the host via the SFP slot (3.3 V); no separate power connection is required.

Recommendations

Confirm device compatibility and firmware support for third-party SFP modules before deployment. Use low-loss single-mode fiber and high-quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified range and signal quality. Keep optical connectors clean and use protective caps when ports are not in use to avoid contamination and signal degradation.
