SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLHX30D-W-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFPGLHX30D-W-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module comes in a metal housing, measures as a compact SFP form factor, requires a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 2 g, providing a lightweight solution for high-speed point-to-point optical connections over long distances. It uses an LC duplex connector and complies with common MSA SFP mechanical and electrical interfaces for straightforward integration into compatible network equipment.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFPGLHX30D-W-BO offers stable 1.25 Gbit/s optical transmission over single-mode fiber with a 1310 nm wavelength, packaged in a durable metal housing for mechanical protection and thermal stability. Its compact SFP form factor and low weight make it easy to install and replace in switches, routers and other compatible networking devices. The module supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when supported by host hardware, enabling monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Long-distance enterprise or campus backbone links
• Storage and SAN interconnects requiring 1.25 Gbit/s optical links
• Replacement or upgrade of compatible SFP transceivers in modular network equipment

How to use

Before installation, ensure the host device supports SFP modules of this type and that any required firmware or software compatibility settings are in place. With the host powered down or following the manufacturer's hot-swap instructions, insert the SFP module into an appropriate SFP slot until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After insertion, verify link status on the host device and, if available, enable or read digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) to check optical and electrical parameters.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and, where possible, clean connectors before mating to minimize insertion loss. Verify host compatibility for DDM/DOM support if monitoring is required. For long-term reliability, avoid exposing the module to excessive mechanical shock or prolonged temperatures outside the equipment manufacturer's specified range.
