SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-ZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-ZX-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode applications. It supports data rates up to 1250 Mbit/s, operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm and requires a 3.3 V supply. With a compact form factor and a weight of just 3 g, this SFP-ZX transceiver uses an LC duplex optical interface and follows MSA-compatible SFP physical specifications, making it suitable for integration into switches, routers and other network hardware that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides 1000BASE-ZX compatible performance over single-mode fiber, enabling long-reach links when paired with appropriate optics and cabling. It supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host platform allows, offering real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature. Built to MSA standards, the transceiver is compatible with a wide range of hardware platforms and is designed for reliable long-term operation with low weight and compact dimensions.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-ZX-BO into an available SFP slot on a compatible transceiver port of your switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-plug instructions. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s LC connector, ensuring correct TX/RX alignment. Configure the network device to recognize and use the SFP port according to the host equipment’s documentation. If the host supports DDM/DOM, monitor module parameters through the management interface for diagnostics and link health.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and, if applicable, compatible patch panels to achieve optimal reach and signal quality. Verify that your network hardware officially supports third-party SFP modules or offers compatibility modes. Ensure that DDM/DOM support is enabled on the host if remote diagnostics are required. Follow ESD handling procedures when installing or removing the transceiver to prevent damage.
