SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLX40B13-W-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFPGLX40B13-W-BO 1250 Mbit/s is a compact SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range optical networking. Housed in metal with a silver finish, this module supports a 1250 Mbit/s data rate and operates at 3.3 V, providing a small, lightweight option for equipment that accepts standard SFP interfaces. Weighing approximately 2 g, it is suitable for installations where space and weight are limited while maintaining industry-standard physical compatibility.

Advantages

The module’s metal housing offers mechanical robustness and improved thermal dissipation. Compliance with the SFP interface ensures broad compatibility with switches, routers and optical line cards that accept SFP modules. Low weight and compact dimensions simplify handling and reduce mechanical load on equipment. The 1250 Mbit/s signaling supports applications that require reliable single-channel optical communication over compatible fiber links.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Upgrading SFP-enabled switches and routers for fiber connectivity
• Short-range fiber connections in data center racks and telecom cabinets
• Connecting optical network equipment and media converters
• Replacement of existing SFP transceivers with matching interface and data rate

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP form factor
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal, silver colour
• Weight: 0.002 kg

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP modules and the required 1250 Mbit/s data rate. Handle the transceiver by its housing and avoid touching the optical connector. With the host device powered down or following the manufacturer’s hot-swap guidance, insert the module into an SFP slot until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the module’s optical port, observing correct connector type and fiber type. After installation, verify link status and configure any required interface parameters on the network device.

Recommendations

Store and transport the transceiver in anti-static packaging and protect the optical port from dust with dust caps when not in use. Use compatible optical cables and observe system compatibility for distance, wavelength and connector type to ensure reliable operation.
