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

The BlueOptics SFP-LX-I-BO is an SFP fiber-optic transceiver module supporting a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal enclosure and powered by a 3.3 V input, the module weighs approximately 3 g and provides a compact single-mode fiber interface with LC duplex connectivity. It implements the 1000BASE-LX communication parameters suitable for long-distance optical links and is compatible with standard MSA SFP ports.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP-LX-I-BO transceiver offers standardized SFP interfacing for easy integration into switches, routers and storage systems while delivering gigabit-class throughput at 1250 Mbit/s. The metal housing provides mechanical robustness and EMI shielding. Operating at 1310 nm on single-mode fiber enables extended reach, and the low weight and SFP form factor allow dense port deployment. The module supports digital diagnostic monitoring when the host hardware provides DDM/DOM support, enabling real-time readout of operating parameters.

How to use

Install the SFP-LX-I-BO into a compatible SFP port on network equipment while the device is powered down or according to the host vendors hot-swap guidelines. Ensure the LC duplex patch cord for single-mode fiber is connected with correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host port for 1000BASE-LX or auto-negotiation as required by your network setup. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query the monitoring interface to read supply voltage, laser bias, output power, received power and temperature for troubleshooting and performance checks.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and appropriate fiber connectors or patch panels to maintain link performance. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware and enable DDM/DOM only if supported by the equipment. Observe safe handling of fiber-optic components and avoid direct eye exposure to laser emission during operation or maintenance.
