SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GZX-LC-70E-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GZX-LC-70E-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-ZX and similar single-mode fiber applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The module is housed in a metal enclosure for mechanical stability, runs on a 3.3 V input and weighs approximately 3 g, making it compact and suitable for installation in compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and storage devices.

Advantages

The transceiver follows MSA-compatible SFP form factor and provides a duplex LC connector for simultaneous transmit and receive over single-mode fiber. It supports long-reach optical links typical for 1000BASE-ZX deployments and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when the host hardware enables that function. Metal housing, standardized interface and a small footprint facilitate straightforward integration into existing network hardware that accepts SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode Ethernet links (1000BASE-ZX)
• Inter-switch connections and backbone links
• Routers, switches and storage systems with SFP ports
• Environments requiring compact, metal-housed SFP transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA-compliant)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1550 nm
• Connector: LC duplex
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing material: Metal
• Weight: ~3 g

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GZX-LC-70E-BO into a compatible SFP port on network equipment while the device is powered down or in accordance with the vendor’s hot-swap instructions. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module, observing correct transmit/receive alignment. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-ZX and, if you require diagnostic data, that the platform supports DDM/DOM to read real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output/received optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber patch cords and maintain clean LC connector end faces to achieve optimal link performance. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware to ensure full functionality of the transceiver and DDM features. Follow ESD precautions when handling the module and store unused transceivers in protective packaging to prevent contamination or mechanical damage.
