Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics MGBIC-BX10-U-EN-BO 1250 Mbit/s SFP 1310 nm

The BlueOptics MGBIC-BX10-U-EN-BO is a single‑port SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000BASE‑BX‑U applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s with a transmitter wavelength of 1310 nm and a corresponding receiver wavelength of 1490 nm, and it uses an LC simplex optical interface. The module follows MSA form-factor and compatibility conventions, has a silver metal housing, weighs approximately 20 g and is compliant with CE, FCC and RoHS standards. The product includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real‑time monitoring of optical and electrical parameters and is specified with an MTBF of around 3,000,000 hours.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides bidirectional single‑fiber operation using separate transmit and receive wavelengths, reducing fiber cabling requirements while maintaining gigabit throughput. Compliance with MSA and industry safety and environmental standards ensures broad compatibility and predictable operation across supported hardware platforms. Integrated DDM/DOM simplifies remote diagnostics and link monitoring. The compact SFP form factor enables easy insertion and replacement in switches, routers and storage devices supporting standard SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over single‑fiber point‑to‑point connections
• Interconnects between switches and routers in wiring closets and data centers
• Fiber uplinks for network hardware that supports MSA‑compliant SFP transceivers
• Replacement or spare modules for compatible Extreme Networks equipment and other MSA‑compliant platforms

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP module into a compatible SFP slot until it latches and then connect an LC simplex fiber patch cable with matching connectors. Use one fiber per link: the module transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1490 nm—ensure the remote module is the complementary BX counterpart (opposite wavelength assignment) or wired accordingly. If the host device and the transceiver support DDM/DOM, monitor supply voltage, laser current, output/input power and module temperature via the system management interface to verify link health. Always perform hot‑swap operations only if the host device supports hot‑insertion and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, pair the MGBIC‑BX10‑U‑EN‑BO with compatible LC simplex patch cables and confirm that the network equipment supports 1000BASE‑BX‑U and DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required. Avoid bending fibers beyond their minimum bend radius and install modules in clean, dust‑free environments to maintain optical performance.
