SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GD-ZX-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-GD-ZX-BO is a single-mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-ZX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The module is housed in a metal casing, requires a 3.3 V input, and weighs approximately 3 g. It features an LC duplex optical interface and is compliant with MSA form-factor expectations for hot-pluggable SFP ports.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP transceiver provides long-distance single-mode transmission suitable for up to tens of kilometers, while its metal housing ensures thermal stability and mechanical robustness. The module supports standardized digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when supported by host hardware, enabling real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature. Designed and tested for compatibility with equipment that accepts MRV SFP-GD-ZX devices, it uses quality optical and electronic components to provide consistent performance and extended operational lifetime.

Suitable for

• Long-reach gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Interconnecting switches, routers and storage systems supporting 1000BASE-ZX
• High-availability backbone and metro fiber links requiring 1550 nm transmission
• Environments where DDM/DOM monitoring is used for maintenance and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Data rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Wavelength: 1550 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Power supply: 3.3 V input
• Housing: metal
• Weight: approximately 3 g
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support when host hardware provides compatibility

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GD-ZX-BO into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the system is powered according to the host vendor's guidelines for hot-pluggable transceivers. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Confirm that the host device supports 1000BASE-ZX operation and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM monitoring in the device management interface. Observe the device's recommended handling procedures to avoid ESD and contamination of optical interfaces.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified range and signal quality. Ensure the host hardware expressly supports MRV-compatible 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules if interoperability is required, and verify DDM compatibility in software before relying on diagnostic readings for remote maintenance.
