SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GIG-LX-D-BO 125 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GIG-LX-D-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for optical data transfer at a maximum rate of 125 Mbit/s using a 1310 nm wavelength. The module uses an SFP interface and an LC duplex optical connector, and comes in a stainless steel color with a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. It is CE- and FCC-compliant and intended for use in networking equipment that supports MSA-compatible SFP modules, including devices from Alcatel‑Lucent when the corresponding platform supports a compatible 1310 nm LX transceiver.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact plug-in solution for single-mode fiber links with optical transmission at 1310 nm while maintaining a small form factor and low weight. Built to MSA mechanical and electrical standards, it is suitable for hot-pluggable installation in SFP ports and offers interoperability with MSA-compliant networking hardware. Certification to CE and FCC indicates conformity with common regulatory requirements for electromagnetic and safety characteristics.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-GIG-LX-D-BO by inserting the module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or other networking device while the device is powered according to the host manufacturer’s instructions for hot‑pluggable modules. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cable to the module’s optical port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device’s port settings as required for the network protocol in use and verify link status and diagnostics through the equipment management interface.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber cabling rated for 1310 nm and install ferrule‑polished LC connectors to minimize loss. Confirm that the host hardware supports MSA‑compliant LX SFP modules and, if digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) are required, verify that the device firmware exposes those monitoring features. Store and handle the module in clean, dry conditions and avoid touching optical endfaces; use dust caps when the transceiver is not connected.
