SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-23BED-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-23BED-BO is a single‑mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE‑BX‑D applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact metal enclosure and weighing approximately 3 g, the module operates from a 3.3 V supply and uses an LC simplex connector. The transceiver implements wavelength‑separated transmit and receive channels (transmit ~1310 nm, receive ~1550 nm) according to MSA standards, enabling duplex communication over a single fiber for links up to around 40 km when used with compatible single‑mode fiber and equipment.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP-23BED-BO provides MSA‑compliant form factor and electrical/optical interfaces for broad interoperability with switches, routers and other network devices that support 1000BASE‑BX‑D SFP modules. Its metal housing offers robust mechanical protection and thermal stability, while the low weight and standard SFP connector simplify installation and replacement. The module supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) functions that supply real‑time information on voltage, laser bias, transmit power, receive power and temperature when supported by the host hardware.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbps Ethernet fiber links (1000BASE‑BX‑D) over single‑mode fiber
• Longer single‑fiber point‑to‑point connections up to approximately 40 km
• Interchangeable use in network switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP 1000BASE‑BX‑D modules
• Environments requiring DDM/DOM monitoring for remote diagnostics

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-23BED-BO by inserting it into a compatible SFP port with the module keyed in the correct orientation until it latches. Connect an LC simplex single‑mode fiber patch cord between this transceiver and the corresponding transceiver at the remote end, observing correct fiber polarity for BX‑D operation (single‑fiber, wavelength‑separated transmit/receive). Ensure the host device provides the required 3.3 V supply and supports the 1000BASE‑BX‑D protocol. If monitoring is required, enable DDM/DOM reporting on the host to view live diagnostics such as voltage, laser bias current, optical power and temperature.

Usage recommendations

Use factory‑qualified single‑mode LC simplex patch cords and comply with the host vendor’s guidelines for SFP compatibility. Verify that the remote transceiver supports BX‑D single‑fiber operation and match fiber type and connector quality to achieve the specified reach. For remote diagnostics, confirm the host hardware supports DDM/DOM to access diagnostic parameters.
