SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics SFP-XG-LX-SM1270-BIDI-S-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-XG-LX-SM1270-BIDI-S-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s networks. It operates at a wavelength of 1270 nm (receiver) with a complementary transmitter wavelength for bidirectional (BiDi) operation over a single fiber. The compact silver module uses an LC simplex connector, supports transmission distances up to 10,000 m and is specified with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. It is suitable for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other network devices that accept MSA‑compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides 10 Gbit/s data throughput in a compact SFP form factor while enabling bidirectional single‑fiber links via LC simplex connection. Compliance with MSA standards ensures broad interoperability with network hardware that supports the 10GBASE‑BX‑U / BiDi profile. Built with high‑quality optical and electronic components, the transceiver offers a long MTBF and stable optical characteristics for extended operational availability.

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot of a compatible network device following the manufacturer’s hot‑plug instructions. Connect an LC simplex single‑mode fiber patch cord between the BiDi transceiver and the corresponding remote BiDi transceiver; ensure the remote side uses the matching complementary wavelength pair. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and, if required, enable digital diagnostics monitoring through the device management interface to read voltage, temperature, laser current and optical power values. Observe proper ESD precautions during handling and avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended limits.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use quality single‑mode LC simplex patch cords and compatible MSA‑compliant transceivers at both ends of the link. Confirm that the network device firmware supports third‑party SFP modules and that DDM/DOM is enabled if remote monitoring is required. Maintain clean fiber connectors and follow standard fiber‑handling procedures to preserve link quality and longevity.
