SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GLX-LC-10E 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GLX-LC-10E 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for single‑mode or multimode fiber links that require a 1250 Mbit/s optical interface. The module operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm and fits standard SFP ports, providing a compact, hot‑pluggable option for adding optical connectivity to switches, routers and media converters. It is intended for use in network environments where a reliable optical uplink or point‑to‑point connection is required and is compatible with devices that accept SFP modules with the same electrical and optical characteristics.

Advantages

The module offers a compact SFP form factor and hot‑plug capability for easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment. With a 1250 Mbit/s maximum data transfer rate and 1310 nm operating wavelength, it supports common short‑ and medium‑reach optical links and integrates with standard SFP interfaces. The straightforward electrical and optical specifications make it suitable for interoperability with a wide range of network devices that support SFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• Fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Point‑to‑point fiber connections in campus or enterprise networks
• Adding optical ports to media converters or network devices with SFP slots
• Replacement of existing 1310 nm SFP transceivers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Optical connector: LC (fiber optic)
• Hot‑pluggable design for in‑service installation

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GLX-LC-10E into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it seats securely. Connect an LC‑terminated fiber patch cable to the module's LC connector, observing correct TX/RX orientation for the link. Configure the device's port settings as required by the network (for example, set speed/duplex or optical port parameters) and verify link status through the network equipment's management interface or LEDs. For safe removal, disable or shut down the port if required by the equipment and gently extract the module by pulling it straight out of the SFP slot.

Recommendations

Use appropriate single‑mode or multimode fiber and LC patch cables that match the module's wavelength and the network's link budget. Avoid bending fibers beyond their minimum bend radius and keep connectors clean to maintain optical performance. Ensure the host device supports SFP modules with the specified electrical and optical characteristics before installation.
