SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFPGLX20B15D-w-BO 1250 Mbit/s glasvezel

The BlueOptics SFPGLX20B15D-w-BO is a single‑port SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbps) optical links. It uses an SFP interface in a compact silver housing and weighs approximately 20 g. The module supports single‑mode LC simplex connections and implements the 1000BASE‑BX‑D transmission scheme with separate transmit and receive wavelengths suitable for point‑to‑point fiber links up to 20 km when used with compatible hardware.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP transceiver follows MSA SFP form‑factor specifications for electrical, mechanical and functional compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems. It is built with industry‑grade optoelectronic components and supports full duplex optical transmission over single‑mode fiber, enabling interference‑immune links with low latency. The compact SFP form factor and low weight simplify hot‑swap installation and spare inventory management.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet and similar 1.25 Gbit/s optical links
• Point‑to‑point single‑mode fiber connections up to 20 km
• Interconnecting switches, routers, storage systems and transceivers
• Environments requiring MSA‑compliant SFP modules and LC simplex connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbps)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber
• Connector: LC simplex
• Transmission scheme: 1000BASE‑BX‑D (separate Tx/Rx wavelengths, e.g., 1310 nm Tx / 1550 nm Rx)
• Typical link distance: up to 20 km (dependent on fiber and link budget)
• Color: silver
• Weight: approx. 20 g

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot of a switch, router or transceiver housing while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s hot‑swap guidelines. Connect an LC simplex single‑mode patch cable to the module’s connector, ensuring correct polarity between transmit and receive ends. Verify that the host hardware supports 1000BASE‑BX‑D and that any required optical or vendor locking settings are configured. Monitor the link status LEDs on the host device to confirm successful synchronization.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use single‑mode LC patch cords and ensure end‑to‑end compatibility of wavelengths and link budgets. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable monitoring to track supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and module temperature. Store spare modules in anti‑static packaging and avoid contaminating fiber end faces—clean connectors before mating for optimal signal quality.
