SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1GE-SX-IT-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-1GE-SX-IT-BO is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module for 1250 Mbit/s data transmission over an 850 nm wavelength. Designed for multimode fiber links, the module uses an LC duplex connector and supports 1000Base-SX applications. The compact, lightweight module (approximately 3 g) follows MSA standards and is compatible with networking platforms that accept standard SFP 1000Base-SX transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides reliable gigabit optical connectivity with support for up to 1.25 Gbit/s throughput on multimode fiber. Built to MSA specifications, it offers broad vendor compatibility and a standard LC duplex interface for duplex optical links. The module is lightweight and intended for use in switches, routers and other network devices that support SFP 1000Base-SX transceivers. It also includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability when supported by the host hardware, aiding remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit and receive power and temperature.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-1GE-SX-IT-BO by inserting the module into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or other network device until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. Ensure the host device recognizes and supports the SFP 1000Base-SX transceiver and that the software/firmware settings allow third-party modules if necessary. For links that use digital diagnostics, enable and read DDM/DOM values through the host management interface to monitor link health.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords to achieve optimal performance. Verify compatibility with the specific host device model and firmware version before deployment. For critical links, enable digital diagnostics and monitor transmit/receive power and temperature to detect and resolve issues promptly.
