SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-C 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-C is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, enabling reliable transmission over extended distances. The module is lightweight (approx. 20 g) and comes in a silver housing, offering physical compatibility with a wide range of network switches, routers and media converters that accept standard SFP modules.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides a standardized SFP interface for easy hot-pluggable installation and interoperability with equipment that follows SFP form-factor specifications. Its 1310 nm optical wavelength and single-mode fiber design support longer reach connections compared with multimode modules. The concise, low-weight metal enclosure aids thermal dissipation and mechanical stability while minimizing load on equipment modules.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links in enterprise and telecom networks
• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and data center equipment
• Fiber connections to routers, media converters and optical network devices
• Network upgrades requiring standardized, hot-pluggable SFP modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module
• Housing: metal, silver colour
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Before installation, ensure that your network device supports SFP transceivers and that the planned fiber cable is single-mode and terminated for 1310 nm use. Power down or follow your device’s hot-swap guidance, then insert the transceiver into the SFP slot until it seats securely. Connect the single-mode fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical port using appropriate connectors. After physical installation, verify link status and configure network settings on the host device as required.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and clean connectors to maintain signal integrity. Keep the protective dust caps on the transceiver when not connected, and follow ESD-safe handling procedures during installation. Match the transceiver wavelength and fiber type to the remote endpoint to ensure compatibility.
