SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLX10B13-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics SFPGLX10B13-BO is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode optical links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a silver enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module follows MSA-compliant form factor and electrical interfaces for straightforward installation into compatible network equipment. It uses LC simplex connectivity and supports transmission over single-mode fiber for medium-range links.

Advantages

The module provides a standard SFP interface that enables hot-plug installation and interoperability with equipment that supports MSA SFP modules. Its single-mode fiber design supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation over separate wavelengths, which is suitable for point-to-point links. The lightweight silver housing simplifies handling and installation while preserving mechanical compatibility with switches, routers and other SFP-capable hardware. The transceiver is designed and tested for stable optical performance and basic digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatibility where supported by host hardware.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber Ethernet links up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Point-to-point connections between switches and routers
• Interconnects for storage systems and network appliances
• Optical links requiring LC simplex connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector: LC simplex
• Wavelengths: separate transmit and receive wavelengths for bidirectional single-fiber operation (BX/U style)
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module
• Product colour: silver
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFPGLX10B13-BO by inserting the module into an SFP port on a compatible switch, router or network appliance while the host device is powered according to the vendor's instructions for hot-plug transceivers. Connect an appropriate single-mode LC patch cable or patch panel to the LC simplex connector. Ensure transmit and receive ends are connected correctly for point-to-point or bidirectional single-fiber BX links. Verify link status on the host device and check any available diagnostic readouts when DDM/DOM is supported.

Recommendations

Confirm that the target hardware supports SFP modules and, if required, allows third-party transceivers. Use single-mode LC patch cords rated for the intended link distance and avoid bending the fiber beyond specified minimum bend radii. If remote monitoring is needed, ensure the host device exposes DDM/DOM parameters to access supply voltage, laser bias, output and received power and module temperature.
