SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPGLX40B15D-w-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics SFPGLX40B15D-w-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver module supporting data rates up to 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact silver SFP form factor and weighing approximately 20 g, it provides an MSA‑compliant electrical and mechanical interface for insertion into SFP slots on switches, routers and other networking equipment. The module implements a bi‑directional 1000BASE‑BX‑D optical link with separate transmitter and receiver wavelengths for single‑mode operation and is intended for reliable long‑reach Ethernet and related applications.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP transceiver follows MSA standards for physical and electrical compatibility, enabling straightforward interoperability with devices that support standard SFP modules. The design supports single‑fiber bi‑directional operation and delivers up to 1.25 Gbit/s throughput over long distances typical for 1000BASE‑BX‑D applications. Built with industry‑grade components and tested for compatibility, the module is lightweight and suitable for high‑availability installations where predictable performance and long service life are required.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbit/s Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber using BX‑D wavelength split
• Interconnections between switches, routers and storage systems in campus or carrier networks
• Upgrading or replacing SFP transceivers in equipment that supports standard SFP modules
• Long‑reach optical links where immunity to electromagnetic interference is required

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your network device until it latches according to the device manufacturer's instructions. Connect an LC simplex single‑mode fiber patch cord with the appropriate orientation for the module's bi‑directional wavelengths. Power and configure the host device as required for 1000BASE‑BX‑D operation; ensure the remote link partner uses the complementary BX‑D wavelength assignment. Verify link status and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on the host to view real‑time module parameters.

Recommendations

Confirm that the host hardware supports third‑party SFP modules and the DDM/DOM feature if diagnostics are required. Use single‑mode LC simplex patch cords rated for the intended distance and avoid tight bends or excessive stress on fiber connectors to maintain signal quality. For installation in production networks, test the module with the target equipment and cabling to validate link stability and optical budget.
