SFP transceiver BlueOptics SM1310-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SM1310-BO SFP transceiver is a single-mode fiber optic module designed for 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s) data transmission at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Encased in a durable metal housing and weighing only 3 g, this SFP module uses an LC duplex optical connector and a standard SFP electrical interface with a 3.3 V power supply. It is intended for use in network equipment that supports 1000BASE-LX and similar single-mode fiber applications, providing a compact, interoperable solution for fiber links up to typical LX distances.

Advantages

The module combines a standardized SFP form factor with single-mode 1310 nm optics to support long-reach links while maintaining compatibility with equipment that accepts 1000BASE-LX SFPs. Its metal housing provides mechanical protection and EMI shielding, and the lightweight design reduces strain on module cages. Built to industry MSA standards, the transceiver supports common network monitoring features such as digital diagnostics when the host hardware provides DDM/DOM support.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber Ethernet links (1000BASE-LX) up to typical LX distance ranges
• Switches, routers and network appliances with SFP slots
• Data center uplinks and aggregation ports
• Storage networking and SAN connectivity over fiber

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SM1310-BO into a free SFP slot on the host device following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap and insertion guidance. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the transceiver, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device is configured for the intended protocol (for example, 1000BASE-LX Ethernet) and that any required link settings or port modes are set in the switch or router. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query the interface to monitor supply voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power values.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target hardware and confirm that the device supports 1000BASE-LX optics and DDM if diagnostics are required. Use quality single-mode LC patch cords and proper patch panels to achieve optimal optical link performance. Observe ESD precautions during handling and avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended minimum bend radii to maintain signal integrity.
