SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-SX2-LC1-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-SX2-LC1-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s) optical links over multimode fiber. Housed in a metal casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm and supports optical transmission distances up to 2,000 m. The module uses an LC duplex connector and follows MSA-compliant SFP form-factor standards for interoperability with compatible switches, routers, storage systems and other networking hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standard-compatible 1000BASE-X interface for high-speed Ethernet and related protocols while offering a metal housing for reliable electromagnetic shielding and mechanical protection. It supports long multimode fiber runs up to 2 km at the specified wavelength and data rate and is manufactured with components selected to meet industry MSA specifications, enabling stable operation and extended service life. The SFP form factor allows hot-pluggability and easy replacement in equipment that accepts SFP modules.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the module into any compatible SFP slot on your network device while the device is powered according to the vendor’s guidelines for hot-pluggable optics. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Confirm that the host hardware supports 1000BASE-X SFP modules and, if required, enable any relevant port settings in the device management interface. Allow a short period for the link to negotiate and verify optical levels and link status in the equipment management console.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality multimode fiber patch cords and, where applicable, patch panels that match the module’s LC duplex interface. Verify that the host device supports SFF-8472 if you intend to use Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) features. Observe manufacturer guidelines for handling optical modules to avoid contamination or damage to fiber endfaces and store spare modules in antistatic packaging when not installed.
