SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFPGLX40B13D-W-BO 1250 Mbit/s glasvezel

The BlueOptics SFPGLX40B13D-W-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic SFP transceiver module is a compact, metal-housed optical module designed for serial data communication over fiber links. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a standard SFP interface, this transceiver supports point-to-point optical connections in network equipment that accepts SFP modules. The module operates from a 3.3 V input and meets RoHS environmental requirements, while its silver metal housing and 2 g weight make it suitable for dense, space-conscious installations.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides a standardized SFP form factor for plug-and-play compatibility with compliant switches, routers and media converters. The metal housing offers mechanical robustness and helps with thermal dissipation in compact installations. Low weight and small size reduce strain on SFP cages and are beneficial when deploying multiple transceivers in stacked or high-density racks. Compliance with RoHS ensures reduced use of hazardous substances.

Suitable for

• Optical uplinks between switches and routers
• Fiber connections for access and distribution networks
• Media converters and SFP-capable network appliances
• Replacement or spare transceiver in existing SFP ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V input
• Housing material and colour: metal, silver
• Weight: 0.002 kg
• Environmental compliance: RoHS

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP port on network equipment while the host device is powered down or following the manufacturer's hot-swap procedure. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the transceiver's optical interface, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After insertion and cable connection, verify link status via the host device's management interface or LED indicators and confirm proper data transmission at up to 1250 Mbit/s.

Recommendations

Use matched fiber types and certified patch cables to achieve optimal signal integrity. Avoid excessive bending of fiber near the connector and ensure the transceiver is installed in a properly ventilated area to maintain thermal performance. When replacing modules, check firmware and compatibility notes for the host device to ensure full interoperability.
