SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-CO-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-CO-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s over multimode fiber using an 850 nm wavelength. Housed in a metal enclosure and powered by a 3.3 V input, the module is lightweight (approximately 3 g) and fits standard SFP slots with an LC duplex connection for simultaneous transmit and receive channels.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers standardized form factor compatibility for easy replacement or expansion of network equipment. The metal housing improves mechanical durability and thermal dissipation. Operating at 850 nm and supporting up to 1250 Mbit/s, the module is suitable for short-range multimode fiber links where 1000Base-SX protocols are required. Its small size and low weight simplify installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Short-reach multimode fiber connections in LAN infrastructures
• Switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP 1000Base-SX modules
• Upgrading or replacing 1 Gbps optical ports in data centers and enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Nominal data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Connector type: LC duplex (multimode fiber)
• Power supply: 3.3 V input
• Material/finish: metal housing, silver colour
• Weight: approx. 0.003 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP-1G-SX-CO-BO transceiver into an appropriate SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place. Connect multimode fiber with LC duplex connectors to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify that the host device recognizes the transceiver and that the link negotiation is set for 1000Base-SX or auto-negotiation as required. Ensure the equipment provides a 3.3 V supply to the SFP slot and follow any vendor-specific instructions for firmware or compatibility settings.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords rated for 850 nm and maintain clean LC connector endfaces. Confirm device compatibility before installation and enable any supported digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) features in the host device to monitor supply voltage, optical power and temperature when available.
