SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-23AED-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver

The BlueOptics SFP-23AED-BO SFP transceiver module provides single-mode fiber connectivity for 1000BASE-BX-U applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a metal casing and powered from a 3.3 V supply, the compact silver module weighs approximately 3 g and supports point-to-point links of up to 40 km using an LC simplex connector. The module implements separate transmit and receive wavelengths suitable for single-mode operation and follows industry MSA form-factor standards for SFP ports.

Advantages

This SFP module delivers gigabit-capable optical transmission over long distances while maintaining a small mechanical footprint and low weight. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation, and the module is designed to be compatible with equipment that supports the corresponding BX-U SFP transceiver standard. Built to industry MSA specifications, the module supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host device provides that interface.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered down or following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap procedure. Connect a single-mode LC simplex fibre patch cord between this module and the corresponding transceiver at the remote end, ensuring the transmit and receive ends use the correct wavelength orientation for BX-U operation. Verify link status via the host device interface and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters through the management interface to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and received power, and module temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC simplex patch cords and adhere to connector cleanliness practices to secure optimal range and signal integrity. Confirm that the target device supports BX-U transceivers and DDM/DOM if you require diagnostic monitoring. Follow the equipment vendor’s guidance for hot-plugging and ESD precautions when handling the module.
