SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GIG-LX-BO 125 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GIG-LX-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 125 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module uses an SFP interface and an LC duplex optical connector, weighs approximately 20 g and features a stainless steel housing. It complies with CE, RoHS and FCC standards and is compatible with Alcatel-Lucent platforms that accept 1000BASE-LX SFP modules.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides standardized electrical and mechanical compatibility through the SFP form factor and MSA-conformant design. Its 1310 nm optical wavelength and LC duplex connector enable simultaneous transmit and receive functions over single-mode fiber for links over longer distances. Built to industry regulatory standards, the module is lightweight and compact for easy installation into switches, routers and storage devices that support SFP modules.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GIG-LX-BO into an SFP slot on compatible network equipment while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap guidance. Connect the LC duplex single-mode patch cable to the transceiver, observing the correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and negotiate the correct protocol on the host device. If the hardware supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the available optical and electrical parameters through the management interface as needed.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and ensure the host device officially supports 1000BASE-LX SFP modules to achieve expected link performance. Verify DDM/DOM support on your equipment if remote diagnostics are required, and follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion, removal and ESD handling to maintain module reliability.
