SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GIG-BX-D40-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-GIG-BX-D40-BO is a single-mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-BX-D applications with a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a metal casing and operating at 3.3 V, this compact transceiver supports simplex LC connections and is rated for optical transmission distances up to 40 km. The module is compatible with equipment following MSA standards and is intended for use in switches, routers and other network devices that accept 1000BASE-BX-D SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides stable Gigabit Ethernet performance over single-mode fiber with an optical transmitter and receiver pair operating on distinct wavelengths for bidirectional transmission on a single fiber. Its metal housing offers mechanical durability and EMI resilience, while low power operation at 3.3 V helps reduce heat dissipation. The compact SFP form factor and LC simplex interface enable straightforward installation and interoperation with standard fiber patching infrastructure.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GIG-BX-D40-BO into an SFP slot on compatible network equipment while the device is powered down or following the equipment manufacturer's hot-swap procedure. Connect a single-mode LC patch cable between this transceiver and the corresponding remote transceiver, observing correct TX/RX orientation for bidirectional single-fiber links. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-BX-D and, if required, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support in the host to access real-time operating parameters.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords rated for the intended distance and confirm host compatibility with 1000BASE-BX-D SFPs. For monitoring and troubleshooting, enable DDM/DOM in the host system if supported. Store unused modules in protective anti-static packaging and avoid exposing fiber ends to contamination; clean connectors before mating to ensure optimal link quality.
