SFP transceiver module CBO SFP-GIG-SX-D 1250 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP transceiver module CBO SFP-GIG-SX-D is a compact optical interface designed for short-range multimode fiber connections. Supporting a data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and an 850 nm wavelength, this hot-pluggable SFP module enables gigabit network links for switches, routers and other network devices with SFP ports. Its form factor and electrical compatibility allow straightforward integration in standard SFP slots to extend fiber uplinks or replace existing modules without system downtime.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers reliable short-distance optical transmission suitable for multimode fiber environments, with a standard 850 nm wavelength and a 1250 Mbit/s data rate that match typical gigabit Ethernet requirements. The hot-pluggable module minimizes service interruption during installation or replacement. Compact SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility across network switches and routers that accept SFP optics. The design emphasizes predictable signal performance over short links, making it suitable for campus, data center top-of-rack, and telecom closet deployments.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber connections in local area networks
• Gigabit uplinks between switches and routers
• Upgrading network equipment to fiber-based links
• Data center top-of-rack and campus backbone segments

Key specifications

• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s (suitable for gigabit Ethernet)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical application range: short-distance links (multimode)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver module into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable with the appropriate connector type to the module’s optical interface, ensuring proper polarity and secure connections. Verify link status through the host device’s indicators or management interface; no driver installation is normally required. To remove the module, power down the port if recommended by the equipment manufacturer, unlock and slide the module out using the release mechanism.

Usage recommendations

Use multimode fiber cabling rated for the intended link distance and maintain clean fiber connectors to prevent signal loss. Match the module’s 850 nm wavelength and multimode specification with compatible transceivers at the far end. Avoid exposing the optical interface to dust and physical stress when the module is not connected; store with protective caps when idle.
