SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFPZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFPZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm is a single-mode fiber SFP transceiver in a compact SFP form factor. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1.25 Gbit/s and operates at a 1550 nm wavelength. The module uses an LC duplex fiber connector, has a silver housing and a lightweight design of approximately 20 g. It is designed for long-distance optical links and supports transmission distances up to 80 km when used with appropriate single-mode fiber.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver conforms to common MSA SFP form-factor conventions and provides compatibility with network equipment that accepts standard 1.25 Gbit/s SFP modules. Its single-mode 1550 nm optics enable long-reach links with low susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The LC duplex connector supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels over a pair of fibers, while the compact, lightweight metal housing simplifies installation in populated transceiver bays. The module is suitable for use in Ethernet and other optical networking protocols that operate at 1.25 Gbit/s.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFPZX-BO into an empty SFP slot of compatible networking equipment according to the host device manufacturer's instructions. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cables to the module, observing transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the connected fiber infrastructure supports 1550 nm single-mode transmission and that link attenuation and connector cleanliness meet expected optical budgets. After physical installation, verify link status in the host device and confirm correct operating parameters (link speed, duplex, and optical receive/transmit levels).

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for 1550 nm and high-quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified range. Clean connector endfaces before mating, follow electrostatic-discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module, and verify that the host equipment supports 1.25 Gbit/s SFP transceivers. For monitoring and troubleshooting, enable any available digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) on compatible platforms to observe optical power and module status.
