SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP1000SX-220-BO 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP1000SX-220-BO is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000Base-SX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s over multimode fiber using an 850 nm wavelength. The module is housed in a metal casing, operates from a 3.3 V input and is compatible with LC duplex fiber connections. Weighing approximately 3 g and finished in silver, the module is intended for compact, hot-pluggable network installations where space and reliability matter.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable multimode fiber connectivity with support for up to 1.25 Gbit/s throughput and an 850 nm optical transmitter/receiver pair. Its metal housing offers mechanical robustness and EMI shielding while the SFP form factor enables hot-swap installation in supported network equipment. Compliance with MSA-based SFP interfaces ensures interoperability with hardware that accepts standard 1000Base-SX SFP modules. Low weight and compact dimensions simplify deployment in switches, routers and storage systems.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an empty SFP port on compatible network equipment while the device is powered down or follow the vendor’s hot-swap instructions for live insertion. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module’s LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After installation, verify link status and speed in the host device management interface and ensure the port is configured for 1000Base-SX where applicable. If digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) is supported by the host, enable and check the reported parameters to monitor optical power and module temperature.

Recommendations

For best performance, use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and verify compatibility with the target device firmware; ensure the host supports MSA SFP modules and, if available, DDM/DOM features for remote monitoring. Keep fiber connectors clean and avoid tight bends in the fiber run to maintain signal integrity.
