SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLX20B13D-w-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFPGLX20B13D-w-BO is a small-form pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module is silver in color, weighs approximately 20 g, and follows MSA SFP mechanical and electrical form factors. It supports bidirectional optical transmission using separate wavelengths for transmit and receive and is intended for use in network switches, routers and other compatible hardware that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides standardized, hot-pluggable connectivity with support for 1250 Mbit/s optical links. Compliance with SFP/MSA mechanical and electrical specifications ensures broad interoperability with equipment from different vendors. The module’s small size and low weight make it suitable for dense port-count systems, while single-mode operation and LC simplex connector compatibility enable long-reach fiber links with low electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet and 1.25 Gbps fiber links
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Long-reach single-mode fiber connections (operator or campus links)
• Environments requiring hot-pluggable transceivers for maintenance and upgrades

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector type: LC simplex
• Bidirectional wavelengths: separate transmit and receive wavelengths for BX operation
• Typical weight: 0.02 kg
• Color: silver

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP port on the network device until it latches. Connect a single-mode LC patch cable between the transceiver and the remote module or patch panel, ensuring correct orientation for TX/RX optical paths. Configure the host device for the intended link speed and protocol (up to 1250 Mbit/s). If supported, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on the host to monitor supply voltage, transmit bias, output power, received power and temperature for link troubleshooting and maintenance.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your network hardware before deployment, confirm the required wavelengths and link budget for your distance, and use quality single-mode LC patch cables and clean connectors to maintain signal integrity. If DDM/DOM monitoring is needed, ensure the host platform supports these diagnostics.
