SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GD-EZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GD-EZX-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a nominal data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and an optical wavelength of 1550 nm. The module uses an LC duplex interface and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts standard SFP form-factor transceivers. It operates from a 3.3 V supply, has a compact silver housing and a lightweight construction of approximately 3 g, making it suitable for dense installations and standard SFP slots.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver supports long-reach single-mode transmission and complies with industry MSA form-factor and electrical requirements, enabling straightforward compatibility with many switches, routers and storage platforms that accept standard SFP modules. The module provides simultaneous transmit and receive capability via LC duplex connections, low power operation at 3.3 V and a compact, lightweight metal housing. Built to use high-quality optoelectronic components and to support digital diagnostics where supported by the host hardware, it is suited for continuous operation in point-to-point optical links.

Suitable for

• 1000BASE-ZX single-mode fiber Ethernet links
• Long-distance fiber connections between switches and routers
• Interconnects for storage systems and aggregation devices
• Environments requiring low-EMI optical transmission

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (LC duplex)
• Nominal data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1550 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Colour: silver
• Weight: ~3 g

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GD-EZX-BO into an open SFP port on compatible networking equipment and ensure the module is fully seated until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the transmit and receive ports according to the device documentation, observing correct fiber polarity. Verify that the host device recognizes the transceiver and that link parameters (speed and duplex) are set appropriately. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or monitor the diagnostic channels through the device management interface to view real-time optical and electrical parameters.

Recommendations

Install and remove the transceiver with the equipment powered down when possible, or follow the vendor’s hot-swap procedures. Use quality single-mode LC patch cords and maintain proper fiber cleanliness to preserve optical performance. Ensure the host device firmware or driver supports third-party SFP modules and, if long-distance links are required, confirm the link budget and optical loss budget match the chosen fiber route.
