SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GE-LH100-SM1550-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GE-LH100-SM1550-BO is a single-mode fiber SFP transceiver module for 1250 Mbit/s data links using a 1550 nm wavelength. Housed in a satin steel metal casing and weighing approximately 3 g, this compact module is designed for point-to-point optical connections over long distances of up to 100 km when used with appropriate single-mode fiber and LC duplex cabling. It operates at a 3.3 V input and follows common SFP form-factor conventions to fit into SFP-equipped switches, routers and media converters that accept compatible transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides long-reach single-mode transmission at 1550 nm with a rated data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s, enabling extended optical links without intermediate repeaters. The metal housing offers mechanical robustness and electromagnetic shielding, while the compact SFP form factor simplifies installation and replacement in compatible equipment. Low weight and standard voltage operation make the module suitable for a wide range of networking environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible network device, ensuring the module is fully seated and latched according to the host equipment instructions. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords with correct polarity to the module’s optical ports. Verify that the connected device supports SFP modules at 1.25 G and the 1550 nm wavelength, then enable or configure the port as required by your network operating system. Monitor link status indicators and any available diagnostic readings to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber and high-quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified reach and signal quality. Ensure both ends of the link use compatible 1550 nm transceivers and verify hardware support for SFP modules at the intended speed. Clean fiber connectors before mating and avoid tight bends in the fiber run. If your device supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable monitoring to track voltage, optical power and temperature for proactive maintenance.
