SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GLSD-70A-A-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GLSD-70A-A-BO is a single-form-factor (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 1550 nm. The module is housed in a metal enclosure, runs from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g. It uses an LC duplex optical connector and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts SFP transceivers for long-distance optical connections.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides a compact, standardized interface for optical uplinks with a small metal housing for mechanical robustness and EMI shielding. With a 1250 Mbit/s link speed and 1550 nm optics, it is suitable for long-reach single-mode fiber applications. Low weight and a 3.3 V power requirement make it compatible with a wide range of SFP slots and hardware platforms that support SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber long-reach Ethernet links
• Switches and routers with SFP ports
• Fiber uplinks between network racks or buildings
• Storage and network equipment requiring 1.25 G optical interfaces

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GLSD-70A-A-BO into an available SFP port on compatible network hardware while the device is powered down or hot-pluggable if supported by the equipment. Attach LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module, observing transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device firmware and drivers support SFP modules and configure the relevant interface for the desired protocol (for example Ethernet at 1.25 G). Observe standard fiber handling and cleanliness procedures when connecting and disconnecting the transceiver to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target switch, router or storage system before installation and confirm support for the required wavelength and data rate. Use single-mode LC duplex fiber and quality patch cords or patch panels for optimal range and signal quality. Keep connector endfaces clean and store spare modules in anti-static packaging when not in use.
