SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFPGLX10B13D-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFPGLX10B13D-BO is a single-port SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for optical links with a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a silver casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module implements the SFP interface and is intended for single-mode fiber connections using an LC simplex optical connector. It supports 1000BASE-BX-U style unidirectional transmission with separate transmitter and receiver wavelengths for point-to-point fiber links over extended distances.

Advantages

The module follows MSA SFP form-factor standards to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability with compatible network equipment. It supports standard Ethernet and related high-speed protocols at up to 1.25 Gbit/s and is built to work with devices that accept SFP modules. The compact silver housing and light weight make it suitable for dense network installations. The design is intended to offer stable optical transmission over single-mode fiber with LC Simplex connectivity.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in switches and routers that accept SFP transceivers
• Point-to-point single-mode fiber links requiring unidirectional BX transmission
• Server and storage uplinks where a 1.25 Gbit/s optical interface is needed
• Telecommunications and enterprise networks requiring LC simplex connections

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA compliant)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Optical fiber type: single-mode fiber (LC simplex connector)
• Transmission mode: unidirectional BX-style with separate Tx/Rx wavelengths
• Typical operating form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module
• Product colour: silver
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFPGLX10B13D-BO into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router, or other network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-plug guidance. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring transmitter and receiver ends are matched according to the BX unidirectional pairing (one side transmits at one wavelength while the other side receives at the complementary wavelength). Configure the network device port for the appropriate interface speed and protocol if required by the host hardware. Verify link status and, if available, use the host device diagnostics to confirm optical signal presence.

Recommendations

For reliable links, use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and ensure proper cleaning of all optical connectors before mating. Confirm that the host device supports the specific BX unidirectional transmission mode and the SFP form factor. When available, enable and monitor digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) on compatible hardware to track supply voltage, laser bias, output power, input power and temperature for preventive maintenance.
