SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GIG-BA LX+/LC EEC-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-GIG-BA LX+/LC EEC-BO is a single‑port SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000BASE-BX-U applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in metal with a silver finish and operating at 3.3 V, this compact module (0.04 kg) uses an LC simplex connector and supports single‑mode fiber connections for long‑reach optical links. The module implements separate transmit and receive wavelengths for unidirectional optical paths and follows MSA mechanical and electrical specifications for broad equipment compatibility.

Advantages

The module provides stable gigabit-capable optical transmission up to 1.25 Gbit/s while minimizing electromagnetic interference inherent to fiber connections. A metal housing enhances mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation, and the low weight and standardized SFP form factor enable easy hot‑swap installation in compatible switches, routers and storage systems. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support is available when used in host hardware that exposes these functions, helping with remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-GIG-BA LX+/LC EEC-BO into an empty SFP slot on compatible network equipment while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer’s guidelines or use hot‑swap functionality if supported. Connect a single‑mode LC patch cable to the LC simplex port, ensuring correct transmit/receive pairing with the remote transceiver. Verify link status on the host device and, if available, monitor the DDM/DOM readings through the host management interface to confirm optical power and module health.

Recommendations

Ensure host hardware supports the 1000BASE-BX-U protocol and DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required. Use single‑mode fiber and LC simplex patch cords rated for the intended distance and keep connector endfaces clean to maintain optimal signal quality. When replacing OEM modules, confirm firmware compatibility with the target device and test links after installation.
