SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-LX-5S-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-LX-5S-BO is a single‑port SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1250 Mbit/s data transmission over single‑mode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal casing and powered from a 3.3 V input, this compact module weighs approximately 3 g and provides an LC duplex optical interface for integration into compatible network equipment. It supports standard 1000BASE‑LX applications and is suitable for use in switches, routers and other devices that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

The module offers a combination of compact metal housing, low weight and standard SFP interoperability, enabling straightforward integration into existing network hardware. Operation at 1310 nm and support for 1250 Mbit/s make it suitable for long‑reach single‑mode links. The 3.3 V input and industry‑standard electrical/optical interfaces simplify power and signal management in installation and operation.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP port on compatible network hardware while ensuring the device is powered off or that hot‑plugging is supported by the equipment. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports following the equipment vendor's polarity guidelines. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and configure any required interface parameters. Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and protect the optical interfaces with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use quality single‑mode LC duplex patch cords and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in host hardware to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature for reliable operation. Follow vendor compatibility lists to ensure full interoperability with your specific switch or router model.
