SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-IA-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-IA-BO is a single‑module SFP transceiver for multimode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 850 nm and uses an LC duplex connector for simultaneous transmit and receive over two fibers. The module is housed in metal for mechanical durability, operates from a 3.3 V input, and weighs approximately 3 g, making it compact and suitable for installation in switches, routers and other network devices that accept SFP form‑factor transceivers.

Advantages

The module is MSA‑compliant and compatible with equipment that supports 1000Base‑SX SFP transceivers, offering Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet support up to 1.25 Gbit/s. A metal housing improves durability and heat dissipation while the small, standardized SFP form factor ensures easy hot‑plug installation. The 850 nm optics are intended for multimode fiber applications and provide reliable short‑reach optical links.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach multimode fiber connections in data centers
• Switch and router uplinks supporting 1000Base‑SX
• Storage and SAN connectivity over optical links
• Replacement or spare SFP modules in standardized network hardware

• Weight: approx. 0.003 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP‑1G‑SX‑IA‑BO into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or other network device while the host hardware is powered on or off according to the device’s hot‑plug guidance. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s LC ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host interface for 1000Base‑SX operation if required by your equipment; verify link status and diagnostics through the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode fiber patch cords and proper cable management to achieve the specified reach and performance. Verify that the host hardware supports SFP transceivers with digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) if you plan to monitor real‑time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature.
