SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SMCBGSSCX1-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SMCBGSSCX1-BO SFP transceiver module is designed for fiber-optic network links that require a compact, hot-pluggable SFP form factor. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 850 nm for multimode fiber connections. The module is housed in a metal casing, has a silver finish and a lightweight construction of approximately 3 g. It uses a standard SFP interface and requires a 3.3 V supply for operation.

Advantages

The module provides a 1000Base-SX compatible optical link for short-range multimode fiber networks and follows MSA-compliant SFP mechanical and electrical standards for broad interoperability. Its metal housing ensures mechanical durability and stable thermal performance, while the small, lightweight design simplifies installation and replacement in switches, routers, storage systems and other network equipment. The transceiver supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation via an LC duplex connector when used with appropriate multimode fiber.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP module into a compatible SFP slot while the host device is powered according to the vendor's instructions for hot-pluggable modules. Use LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to connect the transceiver to a corresponding SFP transceiver at the other end of the link. Ensure the host device supports 1000Base-SX or auto-negotiation to operate at the transceiver's supported rate. Verify that the equipment's firmware or software accepts third-party SFP modules if applicable.

Recommendations

For optimal link quality, use factory-terminated multimode fiber patch cords and ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating. Confirm the receiving device supports the 850 nm wavelength and the intended maximum link distance for the selected multimode fiber type. If digital diagnostic (DDM/DOM) features are required, verify the host hardware supports those monitoring functions.
