SFP transceiver BlueOptics SMCBGSLCX1-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SMCBGSLCX1-BO SFP transceiver is a compact fiber optic module designed for 1250 Mbit/s data links. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength and comes in a metal housing with a silver finish. Lightweight and hot-pluggable, this module supports short-range multi-mode fiber connections where reliable, high-speed data transmission is required.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a standardized SFP interface for broad compatibility with networking equipment that accepts small form-factor pluggable modules. The 1250 Mbit/s transfer rate and 850 nm wavelength are suited to short-range high-speed links over multimode fiber. Its metal casing provides physical durability and EMI shielding while the compact, 20 g design facilitates easy installation and replacement in switch and router ports.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber connections in data centers and wiring closets
• Network switches and routers with SFP ports supporting 1250 Mbit/s
• Server uplinks and access links requiring 850 nm optical interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP small form-factor pluggable
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 850 nm for multimode fiber
• Housing: metal casing with silver color
• Weight: 0.02 kg (approx. 20 g)

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers and the required 1250 Mbit/s link speed. Power down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment vendor, insert the transceiver into an available SFP port until it seats securely, and connect the appropriate multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver's optical port. Verify link status and configure network settings on the host device as needed.

Recommendations

Use OM1/OM2/OM3 multimode fiber suitable for 850 nm operation and keep optical connectors clean to maintain signal integrity. Observe the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for hot-plug handling and maximum supported distances for multimode links at 1250 Mbit/s.
