SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics SFP-GLS-30-A-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GLS-30-A-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s) links using a 1310 nm wavelength. Housed in a metal enclosure and powered from a 3.3 V supply, this compact module weighs approximately 40 g and supports long-distance optical links up to 40 km over LC duplex single-mode fiber. The module follows MSA form-factor and electrical specifications and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts standard SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver offers compatibility with common SFP-based switches, routers and storage systems while delivering stable 1.25 Gbit/s performance over long single-mode spans. A metal housing provides mechanical protection and thermal stability. The module supports widely used optical link distances up to 40 km and is designed according to MSA standards for straightforward interchangeability. Low power operation at 3.3 V and a compact SFP form factor simplify installation in dense equipment bays.

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into any compatible SFP port on a switch, router or optical transceiver cage by sliding it into the slot until it latches. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable to the module, ensuring proper TX/RX alignment with the remote end. Power on the host device; the link status LED on the host should indicate when the optical link is established. If supported by the host, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and module temperature.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex patch cables and, where possible, terminate connections via patch panels to preserve fiber integrity. Verify that the host device supports 1.25 Gbit/s SFP modules and, if you require real-time monitoring, confirm DDM/DOM support in the equipment. Avoid exposing the module to excessive mechanical stress or contaminants on fiber connectors; keep dust caps on when not connected.
