SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLX20B15-BO 1250 Mbit/s Silver

The BlueOptics SFPGLX20B15-BO is a single small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module designed for point-to-point optical links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is intended for single-mode fiber applications with LC simplex connections. The module is supplied in a silver metal housing and has a compact, lightweight design (approx. 20 g), making it suitable for use in networking equipment that accepts SFP modules.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers standardized electrical and mechanical compatibility with SFP ports and follows MSA guidelines for plug-and-play interoperability. It supports 1.25 Gbit/s class optical transmission, enabling Ethernet and other high-speed protocols over single-mode fiber. The compact silver housing and low weight facilitate installation into switches, routers and other small-form-factor devices. The module is provided as a single unit per package for straightforward replacement or expansion of existing links.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbit Ethernet and similar 1.25 Gbit/s optical links
• Single-mode fiber point-to-point connections with LC simplex
• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in switches, routers and storage systems
• Environments where compact, MSA-compliant transceivers are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical fiber type: single-mode fiber (designed for single-mode operation)
• Connector type: LC simplex (optical)
• Typical transmission distance: support for typical single-mode link ranges (vendor-specific distance dependant on fiber and link budget)
• Product colour: Silver (metal housing)
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Power off or follow hot-swap guidelines of your network device and insert the SFP module into an available SFP slot until it seats firmly. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cable between this transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel, observing correct fiber polarity for transmit and receive lines. After insertion and connection, allow the host device to detect the module; configure the link and any required interface settings on the switch, router or storage system per the device documentation. Follow safety procedures for handling optical modules and never look directly into the fiber end or transmitter when active.

Recommendations

Verify host-device compatibility and software/firmware support for third-party SFP modules before deployment. Use single-mode LC simplex fiber with appropriate attenuation and link-budget planning to achieve the expected reach and signal performance. Maintain clean fiber connectors and inspect or clean patch cords before mating to ensure optimum optical performance.
