SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-LC-SX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-LC-SX-BO is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for multimode links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at an optical wavelength of 850 nm. The module uses an LC duplex interface in an SFP form factor, comes in a metal housing for mechanical protection, and operates from a 3.3 V supply while weighing approximately 3 g. It is compatible with equipment that follows standard SFP/ MS A interfaces and is suitable for short-range multimode fiber connections.

Advantages

The module delivers gigabit-class performance over multimode fiber with simultaneous transmit and receive channels via an LC duplex connector. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and EMI resilience, while the small SFP form factor allows flexible hot-plug installation in switches, routers and storage devices. The transceiver is manufactured according to common MSA standards and is tested for compatibility with major hardware platforms that support 1000Base-SX SFP modules.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the SFP-LC-SX-BO into any compatible SFP slot while the host device is powered on or off according to your hardware vendor guidance; the SFP form factor supports hot-plugging in most switches and routers. Connect an LC duplex multimode patch cable between this transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and speed on the host device; if Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) is supported by your hardware, monitor real-time parameters such as supply voltage, optical power and temperature for troubleshooting and maintenance.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3 multimode fiber patch cords appropriate for the intended reach, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and ensure the host device firmware or driver supports third-party SFP modules for full functionality.
