SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GLS-W3510-A-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-GLS-W3510-A-BO is a single-port SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-BX-U applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a silver metal enclosure and operating from a 3.3 V input, the module is compact and lightweight (approximately 3 g). It provides bidirectional optical transmission over single-mode fiber using an LC simplex connector and follows MSA pinout and form-factor conventions for compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment that supports 1000BASE-BX-U SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module offers high-speed optical transmission up to 1250 Mbit/s in a standardized SFP form factor, enabling straightforward hot-pluggable upgrades or replacements in switches, routers and storage systems. Its metal housing provides mechanical protection and EMI shielding while the low weight and compact size simplify installation in dense rack environments. The transceiver is designed for long-reach single-mode links and supports digital diagnostics monitoring where the host hardware provides DDM/DOM support.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or storage device while the host is powered according to the equipment manufacturer’s guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cable to the module and the remote device, ensuring correct orientation for the bidirectional (BX-U) link where one fiber carries TX at one wavelength and RX at another. Verify link status through the host device interface and, if supported, enable or read DDM/DOM parameters from the system management console to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit/receive optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Ensure the host hardware supports 1000BASE-BX-U and the Digital Diagnostics Monitoring functions before deployment. Use single-mode LC simplex patch cords and follow fiber handling best practices (clean connectors, avoid tight bends, maintain appropriate insertion loss margins) to achieve reliable long-reach links and expected performance.
