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

The BlueOptics SFP-LX-CM-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module supporting a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a durable metal enclosure with a silver finish and a compact, lightweight design, this SFP module provides a standardized LC duplex interface for optical links and is powered by a 3.3 V supply. It is compatible with devices that accept MSA‑compliant SFP modules and is intended for use in switches, routers and other network equipment that require 1000BASE‑LX style links over single‑mode fiber.

Advantages

The module combines MSA‑compliant mechanical and electrical interfaces with a metal housing for reliable thermal performance and mechanical protection. It supports full duplex optical transmission over LC duplex connectors and is designed for use in high‑speed Ethernet and related protocols at up to 1.25 Gbit/s. Low weight and standard 3.3 V operation make it easy to install and integrate into existing network hardware. Where supported by the host, digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) provides real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit and receive power, and internal temperature.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot of the host device until it latches, then connect LC duplex single‑mode patch cables between transceivers at each end of the link. Ensure both ends use matching wavelength and fibre type (1310 nm single‑mode). Verify the host device recognizes the module and, if available, enable or read the DDM/DOM diagnostics to monitor link parameters. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and keep protective dust caps on the optical connector when not in use.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode LC duplex patch cords and follow the host vendor’s guidelines for supported third‑party transceivers. If DDM/DOM functionality is required, confirm compatibility with the host device firmware. Store and operate the module within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature and humidity ranges and avoid mechanical stress on the optical connectors to maintain link quality and module lifetime.
