SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-6DH-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm zilver

The BlueOptics SFP-6DH-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s data transfer at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal case and operating at 3.3 V, the compact 3 g module uses an LC duplex connector and follows MSA form‑factor standards for interoperability with compatible SFP ports. It supports up to 10 km link distance under appropriate fiber conditions and is suitable for Ethernet and other high‑speed optical protocols requiring a 1000BASE‑LX class interface.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP interface for hot‑pluggable installation in switches, routers and storage equipment. Metal housing offers mechanical robustness and thermal stability while the 1310 nm optical wavelength and single‑mode design enable long‑reach links. Built to MSA specifications, the transceiver is compatible with equipment that supports 1000BASE‑LX SFPs and includes digital diagnostics when supported by host hardware for real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, output/input power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach single‑mode fiber Ethernet links (up to ~10 km)
• Switches, routers and storage appliances with SFP ports
• Network upgrades and replacements where 1000BASE‑LX compatibility is required
• Environments needing EMI‑immune optical connections

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP‑6DH‑BO into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or storage device while the host is powered according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Connect LC duplex single‑mode patch cords to the transceiver ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status in the host device management interface and, if available, access DDM/DOM readings to monitor voltage, transmitter bias, optical power and temperature. Follow the host vendor’s guidance for driver or firmware requirements to ensure full compatibility.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords matched to the transceiver for optimal reach and signal integrity. Confirm that the target hardware supports 1000BASE‑LX SFP modules and, if remote monitoring is required, that the host system exposes DDM/DOM data. Avoid exposing the module to excessive mechanical stress or moisture; store and handle it in ESD‑safe conditions. For critical links, perform link testing after installation and consider keeping spare transceivers to minimize downtime.
