SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SP-GB-ZX-EDFC-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SP-GB-ZX-EDFC-BO is an SFP transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and transmits at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a metal casing with a silver finish and compliant with RoHS standards, the module operates from a 3.3 V input and weighs approximately 2 g, making it suitable for space-constrained networking equipment.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact metal housing for reliable thermal performance and mechanical protection. The 1550 nm wavelength and 1250 Mbit/s rate ensure compatibility with standard gigabit and legacy fiber systems. Low weight and a standard SFP interface facilitate easy hot-plug installation and module replacement in switches, routers and media converters.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber optic links over long distances
• Optical uplinks between network switches and routers
• Fiber connections in service provider and enterprise access networks
• Hot-swap upgrades and repairs in data center and telecom equipment

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP modules and is powered down or in a safe maintenance state if required by the equipment. Align the SFP module with the SFP cage and insert it until it clicks into place for a secure connection; support hot-plug if the device allows live insertion. Connect the single-mode fiber cable with the appropriate connector to the optical port, observing correct polarity. Verify optical power levels and link status using the host device management interface or test equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use single-mode fiber with connectors compatible with the transceiver and perform regular inspection and cleaning of fiber endfaces. Avoid exposing the module to electrostatic discharge, ensure proper ventilation in the equipment rack, and follow manufacturer guidance for maximum link distances at 1550 nm.
