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

The BlueOptics SFP-SWRG-SX-BO is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module designed for multimode fiber networks. It supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 850 nm. The module uses an LC duplex optical interface and is supplied in a silver housing with a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. It complies with CE, FCC and RoHS standards and is intended for Ethernet and related optical communication applications that require 1000Base-SX compatibility.

Advantages

The module provides Gigabit-class optical connectivity in a compact SFP form factor, enabling straightforward insertion into compatible switch, router or storage interfaces that accept 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers. Its 850 nm transmitter and receiver are optimised for multimode fiber links up to typical multimode distances, and the LC duplex connector allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels. Compliance with international safety and EMC standards and the low weight simplify handling and installation in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Upgrading switches and routers to Gigabit multimode fiber links
• Short- to medium-range optical connections within data centers and wiring closets
• Interconnection of storage systems and network appliances supporting SFP modules
• Replacement of compatible 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers in supported hardware platforms

How to use

Power down or follow hot-plugging procedures recommended by the network equipment vendor, then insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex multimode fibre patch cords to the transceiver ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link negotiation and speed on the host device and configure any required interface settings in the switch or router management interface. If the host platform supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the diagnostic parameters via the equipment management tools.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3 multimode fiber appropriate for 850 nm operation and keep fibre connectors and adapters clean to maintain optimal optical performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports 1000Base-SX SFP modules and DDM functions where required. For longest service life, operate the transceiver within the host’s specified temperature and power limits and avoid mechanical stress when installing or removing modules.
