SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GD-MMX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GD-MMX-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-X applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal casing and rated for a 3.3 V input voltage, this compact transceiver weighs approximately 3 g and provides a reliable optical interface for switches, routers and other networking hardware that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers stable single-fiber optical transmission with an LC duplex interface and is compatible with standard SFP ports for straightforward integration. The metal housing provides mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding. Low weight and small form factor save space in dense installations while the 1250 Mbit/s data rate and 1310 nm wavelength make it suitable for many multimode and short-haul single-mode fiber links. Designed to be a compatible replacement for similar 1000BASE-X SFP modules, it enables cost-effective upgrades and maintenance of existing network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• 1000BASE-X fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Optical connections to storage systems and SAN equipment
• Patch panel and fiber aggregation ports in data centers
• Replacement or expansion of SFP-capable networking devices

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GD-MMX-BO module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered off or following the vendor’s hot-swap procedure. Connect an appropriate LC duplex fiber patch cord to the module’s connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and, if available, enable or query digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) to monitor operating parameters such as supply voltage, optical power and temperature. Use recommended fiber types and patching practices to achieve the intended range and signal quality.

Recommendations

Ensure the host hardware supports the SFP form factor and any digital diagnostic features you intend to use. Use quality LC duplex patch cords and maintain clean connector endfaces to prevent signal loss. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and follow vendor guidelines for hot-plugging to avoid damage.
