SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-GZX-LCI-110E-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GZX-LCI-110E-BO is a single‑port SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000BASE‑ZX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s over single‑mode fiber and transmits and receives optical signals at 1550 nm. The module is housed in a metal enclosure, operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g, making it suitable for compact network equipment that accepts SFP form‑factor transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver follows MSA SFP mechanical standards and offers a compact silver metal housing that provides mechanical robustness and electromagnetic shielding. With a 1550 nm transmitter/receiver pair and a 1250 Mbit/s data rate it is suitable for long‑reach single‑mode fiber links in switches, routers and other networking devices that accept SFP modules. The low weight and standard SFP interface simplify installation and replacement in systems that support compatible 1000BASE‑ZX optics.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach single‑mode fiber Ethernet links
• Upgrading switches and routers with SFP ports to 1550 nm 1000BASE‑ZX
• Optical links between data center racks or remote sites
• Use in network equipment that accepts standard SFP transceivers

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1550 nm (transmit and receive)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Housing: metal, silver colour
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Weight: approx. 0.003 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GZX-LCI-110E-BO into an empty SFP port until it latches, ensuring the host device is powered and supports 1000BASE‑ZX SFP optics. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cable to the module's LC interface, observing the correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device according to its documentation to enable the SFP port and verify link status. Monitor link parameters through the host device management interface where supported.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑distance links use single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords of appropriate quality. Verify that the host hardware supports 1000BASE‑ZX optics and, if available, enable digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to check real‑time operating parameters. Avoid exposing the transceiver to excessive dust or mechanical stress when inserting or removing from ports.
