SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics GLC-SX-MM-2K 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics GLC-SX-MM-2K SFP transceiver module is designed for fiber optic LAN links requiring reliable gigabit-class connectivity. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, this compact SFP form-factor transceiver is suited for short- to medium-reach multimode fiber links in network switches, routers and media converters. The module provides a plug-and-play fiber interface that integrates into standard SFP ports and enables optical connectivity where copper cabling is not feasible or desired.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standardized SFP interface for broad compatibility with network hardware, a 1250 Mbit/s throughput for fast data exchange, and an optical wavelength optimized for multimode fiber connections. Its small form factor reduces space requirements in rack-mounted or compact devices, while optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference and supports secure, low-latency links.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers over multimode fiber
• Optical connections in data center patch panels and distribution frames
• Media converters and transponder modules requiring 1310 nm SFP optics
• LAN backbone segments and campus network fiber links

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: multimode fiber compatibility (MM)
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect a suitable multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical port and ensure the other end is attached to the corresponding device or patch panel. Verify link status via the host device’s network management interface and configure the port speed and duplex settings if required. For removal, power down or administratively disable the port if recommended by the host device vendor, then grasp the module and extract it straight out of the SFP socket.

Recommendations

Use clean multimode fiber connectors and adhere to standard fiber handling practices to maintain signal quality. Match the transceiver’s wavelength and fiber type with the link design, and confirm compatibility with the host device’s SFP port and firmware to ensure stable operation.
