SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLHX30-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFPGLHX30-BO SFP transceiver module is a single-mode fiber optic transceiver designed for 1250 Mbit/s data transmission at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a compact metal casing and weighing approximately 2 g, this SFP module follows MSA-compliant SFP form-factor conventions and is intended for insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and other networking equipment that support 1000BASE-LH transceivers. It uses an LC duplex interface and supports long-reach optical links over single-mode fiber.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP interface with a small, metal housing that ensures mechanical stability and EMI resilience. Operating at 1310 nm and supporting 1250 Mbit/s, it is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and similar protocols while offering long-distance reach on single-mode fiber. Built to industry MSA guidelines, the transceiver is compatible with many hardware platforms that accept 1000BASE-LH SFP modules and includes support for digital diagnostics where the host equipment exposes DDM/DOM information.

Suitable for

• Long-reach Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Optical uplinks to patch panels or other LC duplex transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal, silver colour
• Weight: ~0.002 kg
• Typical reach: long-reach (suitable for distances up to tens of kilometres depending on fiber and link budget)

How to use

Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-LH SFP modules and, if required, DDM/DOM functionality. Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the host vendor, insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot until it clicks into place, and connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords with correct polarity. After insertion, verify link status through the host device interface and confirm negotiated speed and diagnostics data where supported. Remove the protective dust caps from the optical ports before connecting fibers and replace caps when the module is not in use.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords that match the module's wavelength and link budget. Verify compatibility with the target switch/router firmware and enable DDM/DOM only if the host supports it. Handle the transceiver by its housing, avoid touching the optical interfaces, and store with dust caps to maintain optical performance.
