Fiber optic SFP transceiver CBO BTI-MGBIC-GSX-LC 1000Base-LX, LC connector

The BlueOptics CBO BTI-MGBIC-GSX-LC is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module engineered for 1000Base-LX gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber. With an LC duplex connector and hot-pluggable SFP form factor, this module fits standard SFP ports on switches, routers and other network devices to extend links over long distances. It supports industry-standard signaling and link speeds for reliable single-mode fiber connections where extended reach and compatibility are required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers long-distance single-mode transmission with a compact, hot-swappable design that simplifies upgrades and replacements without powering down equipment. The LC connector and standard SFP footprint provide wide compatibility across network hardware that accepts SFP modules. Low-power operation and adherence to 1000Base-LX specifications ensure predictable performance for point-to-point and trunk links.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and core network devices
• Long-distance single-mode fiber connections in campus and metropolitan networks
• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in routers, switches and media converters
• Fiber backbone links and aggregation ports requiring LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Network standard: 1000Base-LX (1 Gbps)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Typical transmission reach: long-distance single-mode links (subject to fiber and link budget)
• Power consumption: low-power SFP class device
• Compatibility: standard SFP interface for use in compatible network equipment

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot on the network device until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables to the module’s LC ports, observing proper TX/RX orientation. After connecting, verify link status via the host device’s interface and configure any required network settings such as duplex or port speed if applicable. To remove the module, follow the device manufacturer’s hot-swap procedure and gently extract the transceiver using the release mechanism.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate single-mode fiber patch cords and ensure fiber cleanliness before mating connectors to minimize signal loss. Confirm the link budget and fiber attenuation for the intended distance, and check compatibility with the host device’s SFP firmware requirements. Store unused transceivers in protective caps and antistatic packaging to prevent contamination and electrostatic damage.
