SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-1G-LX-NV-BO 1250 Mbit/s glasvezel

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-LX-NV-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic transceiver is a single small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module designed for 1000BASE-LX single-mode fiber links. Housed in metal and weighing approximately 20 g, it supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is built to comply with MSA form-factor and interoperability expectations. The module is intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers, storage systems and similar network equipment where 1 Gbit optical connections are required.

Advantages

The transceiver combines a compact SFP interface and a metal housing for mechanical stability and thermal dissipation. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours it offers a long expected operational lifetime suitable for continuous network use. The module supports LC duplex connections for separate transmit and receive optical paths and is designed for use in single-mode fiber applications that require 1000BASE-LX signal transmission up to typical long-reach distances.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbit single-mode fiber links in enterprise and data center networks
• Interconnection between switches, routers and storage systems
• Upgrading copper ports to optical links where SFP slots are available
• Replacement of compatible vendor SFP modules that follow MSA specifications

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Optical type: single-mode fiber, LC duplex connector
• Housing: metal for improved durability and heat dissipation
• Weight: 0.02 kg (approx. 20 g)
• Product colour: silver
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place, then connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports following the correct polarity. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-LX and the SFP form factor. Configure the network interface on the host device as required by your network setup and verify link status through the device management interface. To remove the module, release the latch or handle (if present) and pull the transceiver straight out of the slot.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex patch cords of appropriate quality and length to achieve optimal optical performance. Verify compatibility with the host device and check for DDM/DOM support if real-time diagnostics are required. Handle the transceiver by its housing, avoid touching the optical connectors, and keep connector dust caps in place when not connected to prevent contamination.
