SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GIG-EZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GIG-EZX-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-ZX applications. It supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The module is housed in a metal casing, measures as a standard SFP form factor, is lightweight (approx. 0.04 kg) and is intended for use with LC duplex single‑mode fiber connections. It requires a 3.3 V supply and is compatible with equipment that supports MSA-compliant SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver offers stable optical transmission over long distances using a 1550 nm wavelength and supports gigabit Ethernet rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s. Its metal housing provides mechanical durability and thermal conduction, while the compact SFP form factor enables hot‑swap installation in compatible network switches, routers and storage devices. The unit is manufactured to MSA standards and is suitable for integration into systems that accept standard SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach single‑mode Ethernet links (1000BASE‑ZX)
• Interconnecting switches, routers and optical patch panels
• Data center uplinks and WAN connections over single‑mode fiber
• Replacement or upgrade of existing MSA‑compliant SFP transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Wavelength: 1550 nm
• Connector: LC duplex (single‑mode)
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal casing
• Weight: approximately 0.04 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-GIG-EZX-BO into an empty SFP slot on a powered or power‑off MSA‑compatible device following the device manufacturer's hot‑swap guidelines. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver's LC ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host equipment is configured for 1000BASE‑ZX or auto‑negotiation as required and verify link status through the equipment's management interface. If available, enable the digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) feature on the host to monitor supply voltage, temperature, transmit and receive power levels.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and quality for long‑reach links, and verify compatibility with the host device before deployment. For reliable operation, route fiber to avoid tight bends, keep connectors clean, and confirm that the host supports DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is required.
