SFP transceiver module BlueOptics TOM-1G-SX-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics TOM-1G-SX-BO 1250 Mbit/s is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for multimode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and implements the 1000Base-SX optical standard with an LC duplex connector. The module comes in a metal housing for mechanical robustness, has a listed mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and weighs approximately 20 g, making it compact and suitable for space-constrained network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers compatibility with standard SFP interfaces and MSA-conforming 1000Base-SX implementations, enabling plug-and-play use in a wide range of network devices that accept SFP modules. The metal housing increases durability and shielding, while the lightweight form factor eases handling and installation. The module’s specifications are appropriate for Ethernet and similar high-speed optical applications over multimode fiber.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the target device until it clicks into place. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports 1000Base-SX operation and that any Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) features required by your system are enabled if supported by both the module and host. Power on the equipment and verify link status via the host device interface or LED indicators.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for short-range 1000Base-SX links and follow device vendor guidance on supported third-party SFP modules. Verify physical cleanliness of fiber connectors before insertion and monitor link parameters where DDM/DOM is available to detect signal or power deviations.
