SFP transceiver BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GLXLC-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics IE-SFP-1GLXLC-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s class links. It supports a data transfer rate up to 1250 Mbit/s, transmits at a wavelength of 1310 nm and is housed in a durable metal enclosure. The compact module operates from a 3.3 V supply, weighs approximately 20 g and provides optical connectivity via an SFP form factor with an LC-style fiber interface. The module is intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports to establish reliable fiber links over longer distances.

Advantages

The metal housing offers mechanical robustness and thermal stability while retaining a lightweight design for easy handling and installation. Operating at 1310 nm enables longer reach over single‑mode fiber, and the 1250 Mbit/s capability supports Gigabit Ethernet and other protocols that use 1.25 Gbit/s signaling. The transceiver adheres to common SFP form‑factor expectations to ensure physical compatibility with a wide range of network devices that accept SFP modules.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers at 1.25 Gbit/s and that the optical link requirements (single‑mode fiber, connector type and distance) match the module capabilities. With the host powered down or following the manufacturer's hot‑plugging guidance, insert the transceiver into an empty SFP slot until it latches. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cords observing correct transmit/receive orientation and, if applicable, install an appropriate dust cap when not in use. After installation, verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and run diagnostics or a link test to confirm signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber with LC duplex connectors and quality patch cords to achieve the specified reach. Match the transceiver wavelength and power budget with the fiber type and any inline components (patch panels, splices). Follow ESD precautions during handling and consult the host device documentation for supported optics and any required firmware settings to ensure full interoperability.
