SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-SO-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-SO-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for multimode optical links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, the module features an SFP interface, a metal housing and a 3.3 V supply requirement. Its silver-colored, lightweight design (approx. 3 g) provides a standard LC duplex connection for sending and receiving optical signals in networking equipment that supports compatible SFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standardized SFP form factor and compatibility with common networking hardware that accepts 1000Base-SX modules. Its metal housing ensures mechanical robustness and heat dissipation while the 850 nm optics deliver reliable short-range multimode fiber performance. The module's low weight and compact design make it suitable for dense installation into switches, routers and storage systems without adding significant bulk.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach multimode fiber Ethernet links (1000Base‑SX)
• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in switches and routers that accept 1G multimode transceivers
• Fiber connections between racks, patch panels and network appliances within data centers and enterprise networks

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the host device is powered off or following the vendor's hot‑swap guidance. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver taking care to align transmit and receive fibers correctly. Ensure the connected device and the transceiver share the same link settings (speed and duplex) and that the host supports 1000Base‑SX modules. Verify link status through the network device interface or status LEDs and monitor operation using any available digital diagnostics if supported by the host hardware.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and maintain clean connector end-faces. Confirm host compatibility with 1000Base‑SX SFP modules and enable DDM/DOM support in the device firmware if you require real-time diagnostic monitoring. Follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and store unused modules in protective caps to avoid contamination.
