SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics SFP-1GZXLC-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-1GZXLC-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver designed for 1000BASE‑ZX optical links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The module is housed in metal, runs from a 3.3 V supply and has a compact lightweight form factor (approximately 3 g). It uses an LC duplex interface and is intended for long‑reach single‑mode fiber connections where reliable, low‑interference optical transmission is required.

Advantages

The module provides standardized SFP form‑factor compatibility for straightforward insertion into SFP slots on switches, routers and other network equipment that accept 1000BASE‑ZX SFPs. Metal housing offers mechanical robustness and thermal conduction. Operation at 1550 nm and a 1250 Mbit/s line rate supports long‑distance single‑mode fiber links with immunity to electromagnetic interference. Its small size and low weight simplify handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach single‑mode fiber Ethernet links (1000BASE‑ZX)
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems with LC duplex fiber
• Network segments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference
• Environments where standardized SFP modules are required for flexible hardware upgrades

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an appropriate SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it latches securely. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cable, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly crossed between endpoints. Verify the host device is configured to use a 1000BASE‑ZX link and that any required link parameters or monitoring features are enabled. For reliable operation, confirm the connected hardware supports 1550 nm 1000BASE‑ZX SFP modules and the necessary receive sensitivity and transmitter power for the desired link distance.

Recommendations

Use quality single‑mode LC duplex patch cords and proper cleaning procedures for fiber endfaces before mating. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE‑ZX optical modules and, if available, enable digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) on supported platforms to monitor supply voltage, temperature and optical power parameters. Store unused modules in anti‑static packaging and avoid exposure to contaminants or mechanical stress.
