SFP transceiver BlueOptics SFP-LX-AX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-LX-AX-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1310 nm. Encased in a metal housing and weighing only 3 g, this SFP module operates from a 3.3 V input and provides single-mode fiber connectivity using an LC duplex interface. It is designed to meet MSA standards and to be used as a reliable optical link component in networking equipment that supports 1000BASE-LX SFP modules.

Advantages

The module combines a metal enclosure for mechanical durability with a low weight and standardized SFP form factor for easy hot-plug installation. With a 1310 nm transmitter and receiver pair it supports long-range single-mode optical transmission up to typical LX distances when used with appropriate fiber and link partners. Compliance with MSA optical transceiver dimensions and interface types ensures broad compatibility with equipment that accepts 1000BASE-LX SFP modules.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-LX-AX-BO into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or storage device while the host supports 1000BASE-LX optics. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s LC ports, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive alignment. Verify link status and configuration on the host device; if supported, enable or read Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) functions for real-time status of optical parameters. Follow the equipment vendor’s hot-plug and handling guidelines to avoid electrostatic damage.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and appropriate patch panels for best performance. Confirm host compatibility with 1000BASE-LX SFP modules and, when available, enable DDM/DOM support on the host to monitor optical parameters and simplify troubleshooting.
