SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics ONS-SI-GE-ZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics ONS-SI-GE-ZX-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-ZX applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The silver-colored module follows MSA SFP mechanical standards and provides LC duplex connectivity for single-fiber pair optical links. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation at 1550 nm and incorporates Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for monitoring supply voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature when used in compatible hosts. The module is lightweight (approx. 20 g) and intended for use in switches, routers and other networking equipment that accept MSA-compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver offers full MSA compatibility and is engineered to be interoperable with common hardware platforms that accept 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules. Built from high-quality optical and electronic components, the module provides stable optical transmission over long distances with immunity to electromagnetic interference. Integrated DDM/DOM support enables real-time diagnostics and simplified maintenance when the host device supports these functions. The compact SFP form factor and low weight facilitate installation and replacement in dense rack systems.

Suitable for

• Long-reach fiber connections between switches and routers
• Interconnects in data center uplinks and distribution layers
• Optical links for storage systems and SAN-to-switch connections
• Network equipment in industrial or EMI-prone environments

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (LC duplex)
• Standard: 1000BASE-ZX
• Wavelength: 1550 nm (transmit and receive)
• Maximum data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 (host dependent)
• Colour: Silver
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an empty SFP cage in the host device until it latches, then secure and connect LC duplex fiber patch cables matching the module's wavelength and link budget. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-ZX and, if DDM/DOM is required, that the host firmware can read diagnostic parameters. Power on the connected devices and verify link status using the host management interface. For best performance, use single-mode fiber and appropriate patch panels or direct connections to a compatible transceiver at the far end.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your network hardware and verify required link distance and optical budget before deployment. Use clean LC connectors and follow standard procedures for fiber handling to avoid contamination or damage. If monitoring is needed, enable DDM/DOM support in the host and check diagnostic values periodically to detect signal degradation early.
