SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFPGLX20B13-w-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFPGLX20B13-w-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbit/s (1250 Mbit/s) links. The module has an SFP interface, a silver housing and a light weight of approximately 20 g. It implements a single-mode optical link with LC-Simplex connectivity and follows MSA mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with compatible network equipment.

Advantages

The module supports data rates up to 1250 Mbit/s and is built to MSA SFP standards for broad compatibility with switches, routers and storage interfaces that accept SFP transceivers. Its single-mode LC-Simplex optical interface enables point-to-point transmission over long distances with immunity to electromagnetic interference. The compact SFP form factor and light weight make it suitable for high-density installations and easy hot-plug replacement.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbit Ethernet and compatible high-speed optical links
• Switch-to-switch, switch-to-router and switch-to-transceiver fiber connections
• Long-distance single-mode fiber links (up to tens of kilometers when used with appropriate fiber and endpoints)
• Environments requiring EMI-immune optical transmission

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Optical fiber: single-mode
• Connector: LC Simplex
• Form factor: SFP hot-pluggable module
• Color / housing: silver metal enclosure
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFPGLX20B13-w-BO by inserting it into an SFP port of a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or during maintenance windows according to the equipment guidelines. Connect a single-mode LC patch cable to the LC-Simplex connector and route the fiber to the corresponding remote transceiver. Verify link status on the host device and confirm that the SFP is recognized and operating at the expected data rate. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or check diagnostic readouts to monitor parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use appropriate single-mode LC patch cords and ensure connector cleanliness before mating. Confirm that the host equipment supports SFP modules with DDM/DOM if you require real-time diagnostics. For long-distance links, verify end-to-end compatibility of wavelength and transceiver type at both ends of the fiber. Follow ESD handling procedures when inserting or removing the module and consult the network device manual for any vendor-specific compatibility notes.
