SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-ZX-80-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-ZX-80-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for optical network links that require a 1250 Mbit/s data rate and 1550 nm wavelength. Packaged in a metal housing and weighing approximately 3 g, the module uses a standard SFP interface and operates from a 3.3 V supply. It supports LC duplex connectivity and follows MSA-compatible mechanical and electrical form factors for use in networking equipment that accepts SFP modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP transceiver provides compatibility with common 1000BASE‑ZX applications for long‑reach single‑mode connections. The metal housing offers mechanical robustness and shielding, while the compact SFP form factor allows easy hot‑swapping in switches, routers and other SFP‑equipped devices. The module’s design supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware exposes that functionality, enabling remote monitoring of optical and electrical parameters.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber (1000BASE‑ZX style deployments)
• Interconnection between switches, routers and optical patch panels using LC duplex
• Environments requiring an SFP form factor and 1550 nm optics for distances up to ZX class ranges

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (hot‑pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1550 nm
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal
• Weight: approx. 3 g

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-ZX-80-BO into an SFP socket on compatible network equipment following the host device manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure correct orientation and that the module clicks into place; after insertion, the host should detect the transceiver and configure the link according to its networking settings. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct fiber polarity. If the host supports DDM/DOM, enable or query the monitoring interface to view real‑time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, received power and temperature.

Usage recommendations

Use single‑mode LC duplex patch cords and appropriate fiber management (patch panels, labels and strain relief) to ensure stable long‑reach links. Verify that the host hardware supports 1000BASE‑ZX or equivalent SFP optics and, if monitoring is required, that DDM/DOM is enabled on the device. Handle the module with ESD precautions and keep connector end‑faces clean to maintain optical performance.
