SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GLX-LCI-20E-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GLX-LCI-20E-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE‑LX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s, transmits and receives at a wavelength of 1310 nm and uses an LC duplex optical interface. The module is housed in a metal casing, operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g, making it compact and suitable for installation in compatible SFP ports of switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

The transceiver conforms to MSA SFP mechanical standards and is compatible with devices that support the corresponding 1000BASE‑LX SFP form factor. The metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal stability. With a single‑mode 1310 nm laser and LC duplex connector the module supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels over a single fiber pair. The compact 3.3 V SFP design ensures straightforward hot‑swap installation in standard SFP slots.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber (1000BASE‑LX)
• Fiber connections between switches, routers and storage systems
• Longer distance optical links where 1310 nm single‑mode transmission is required (typical up to 20 km depending on fiber and link budget)
• Environments that require MSA‑compatible, hot‑swappable SFP modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (LC duplex)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (single‑mode)
• Housing: metal
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Weight: approx. 3 g

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-GLX-LCI-20E-BO by inserting it into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or other network device while the device supports standard SFP transceivers. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the module’s connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device is configured for the intended 1000BASE‑LX link parameters. The module is hot‑swappable, but follow your equipment vendor’s guidelines when inserting or removing transceivers to avoid link disruption.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility and software/firmware support for third‑party SFP modules in the host device. Use single‑mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and connectors (LC duplex) and confirm link budget for target distances. If digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support is required, check that the host hardware exposes these monitoring features.
