SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GLX-LC-40E 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GLX-LC-40E 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm is a single-port fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for point-to-point connections over single-mode fiber. It supports a data rate up to 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at a wavelength of 1310 nm, providing stable optical links for network equipment with standard SFP interfaces. The compact SFP form factor allows hot-pluggable installation in switches, routers and fiber media converters that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

This transceiver offers predictable optical performance for short- to medium-range single-mode links, with a common SFP interface for broad compatibility across network devices. Its 1310 nm wavelength is suitable for longer reach than typical short-wavelength modules, while the 1250 Mbit/s rate matches common Gigabit and legacy equipment requirements. The small SFP footprint reduces slot usage and supports hot-swap replacement without powering down the host device.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point single-mode fiber connections within data centers
• Enterprise network uplinks and inter-switch links
• Fiber media converters and access equipment requiring SFP modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Optical fiber type: single-mode fiber (recommended)
• Connector type: LC duplex

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your network device until it latches securely, then connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s connectors. Ensure that transmit and receive fibers are correctly aligned between endpoints. After physical installation, verify link lights and check the host device’s interface status; configure interface parameters such as speed and duplex if required by the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use the module with single-mode LC patch cords and ensure dust caps are kept on when the transceiver is not connected. Operate within the specified ambient temperature and avoid mechanical stress on fiber connectors. For optimal network performance, verify compatibility with the host device and confirm fiber end-face cleanliness before insertion.
