SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics CTP-SFP-1GE-SX-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics CTP-SFP-1GE-SX-BO is an SFP transceiver module for multimode fiber links supporting a data transfer rate up to 1250 Mbit/s. The module uses LC duplex optical connectors and operates with 850 nm transmit and receive wavelengths, providing bidirectional optical data transmission for short-range Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-SX) applications. The transceiver is compact, lightweight (20 g) and built to MSA-compatible mechanical and electrical specifications for broad interchangeability with common network hardware.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers compatibility with many hardware platforms that accept 1000Base-SX LC duplex SFP modules, allowing straightforward replacement or expansion of existing fiber ports. Components are selected to meet established industry standards, and the module supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) functions for real-time monitoring of optical and electrical parameters when the host device supports it. The Silver-coloured, low-weight design simplifies handling and installation in switches, routers and storage systems.

How to use

Insert the transceiver into the SFP slot of a compatible network device while the device is powered according to the manufacturer’s instructions or hot-plug if the host supports it. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s LC ports, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive channels. Verify link status on the host device and, if available, enable or read DDM/DOM metrics through the device management interface to monitor voltage, temperature and optical power levels. Follow the host vendor guidelines for firmware and compatibility settings if any vendor-lock features must be disabled or adjusted.

Recommendations

Use OM2/OM3 multimode fiber patch cords for typical short-range connections; ensure clean LC connectors and proper insertion to minimize signal loss. Confirm that the network equipment supports 1000Base-SX SFP modules and DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and handle the transceiver by its housing to avoid contaminating the optical interfaces.
