SFP-module CBO SFP-GLS-50-A-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm singlemode 50 km

The BlueOptics SFP-GLS-50-A-BO is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver that supports a data rate of 1250 Mbit/s over single‑mode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Designed for point-to-point and uplink connections, this module is suitable for deployment in switches, routers and media converters where hot‑pluggable fiber interfaces are required. The transceiver supports link distances up to 50 km on single‑mode fiber and offers a compact, industry-standard SFP form factor for easy installation and replacement.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a hot-pluggable interface that simplifies installation and maintenance without powering down the host device. Its single‑mode 1310 nm operation and support for 50 km links make it appropriate for access and metropolitan network segments. The module’s SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with network equipment that accepts SFP optics, while the 1250 Mbit/s data rate fits common Gigabit Ethernet and fibre channel use cases requiring reliable serial optical transmission.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the SFP module into an available SFP slot on the switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect a single‑mode fiber patch cable with appropriate LC or other compatible connectors between devices. Verify link status and speed via the host equipment’s management interface; no additional configuration is typically required for basic link establishment. For safe removal, follow the host device’s recommendation to disable the port or safely eject the module if supported, then pull the transceiver from the slot.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and connector cleanliness to achieve reliable links up to 50 km. Ensure transceiver compatibility with the host device’s SFP specifications and observe electrostatic discharge precautions during handling. For long-distance deployments, verify optical budget and connector types to guarantee the required margin for stable operation.
