SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLX40B13 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFPGLX40B13 is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s data transmission over optical links. The module operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, has a metal housing finished in silver colour and is powered from a 3.3 V input. Weighing approximately 2 g, it follows MSA form‑factor conventions and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP modules with LC simplex connection.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact, low‑weight solution for optical gigabit links with a 1250 Mbit/s transfer rate and a 1310 nm wavelength suitable for single‑mode fiber. Its metal housing supports mechanical durability and thermal stability, while the 3.3 V supply is compatible with standard SFP interfaces. The small form factor and light weight simplify installation and replacement in switches, routers and other SFP‑capable networking devices.

Suitable for

• Single‑mode fiber optic uplinks and point‑to‑point links
• Gigabit Ethernet and similar 1.25 Gbit/s protocols
• Switches, routers, media converters, and storage/network appliances with SFP ports
• Environments requiring compact transceivers with metal housings for improved robustness

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single‑mode (LC simplex compatible)
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Product colour / housing: silver metal housing
• Weight: approximately 0.002 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFPGLX40B13 into a compatible SFP slot on network equipment while the host device is powered down or following the manufacturer’s hot‑swap guidance. Connect an appropriate single‑mode LC simplex fiber patch cord to the module. Ensure the host device supports 1.25 Gbit/s optical modules and the required wavelength. After installation, verify link status on the host device and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to read real‑time module parameters.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber patch cords and maintain clean LC connector endfaces to ensure optimal signal quality. Confirm compatibility with the specific switch or router vendor and check whether the system supports DDM/DOM if diagnostics are required.
