SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GIG-BX-U40-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GIG-BX-U40-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module uses a metal housing, operates from a 3.3 V supply and has a compact SFP form factor with an LC simplex interface. It supports 1000BASE-BX-U operation with a transmitter and receiver pair optimized for long-distance single-mode transmission and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts MSA-compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The module offers a compact SFP footprint and a metal housing for mechanical robustness and EMI shielding. With support for 1250 Mbit/s and single-mode transmission over long distances, it enables reliable optical links while remaining compatible with MSA-compliant networking hardware. Built to industry component standards, it includes diagnostic capabilities to simplify monitoring and maintenance when the host supports digital diagnostics.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or other networking device while the host is powered down or following the vendor's hot-plug guidelines. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cable between this module and the remote transceiver. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-BX-U operation and, if you need monitoring, that the host supports Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) to read real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber patch cords and compatible MSA-compliant transceivers at both ends of the link. Verify polarity and LC connector mating, and consult the equipment vendor's compatibility list if strict vendor-lock checks are enforced. If monitoring is required, enable DDM/DOM support in the host device and validate optical power levels during initial deployment.
