SFP Transceiver LevelOne 1.25Gbps Multi-mode 500m 850nm

LevelOne SFP-3001 is a multi-mode SFP transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet and fiber channel applications. It supports a bidirectional data transfer rate up to 1.25 Gbps over a single duplex fiber core and is compatible with 50/62.5 µm multimode fiber for links up to 500–550 meters. The module uses an 850 nm VCSEL light source, requires a single +3.3 V power supply and conforms to relevant industry standards including IEEE 802.3z, MSA and EN 60825-1 for laser safety.

Advantages

The SFP-3001 offers compact SFP form factor compatibility for easy hot-plug installation, low power operation from a single +3.3 V rail, and compliance with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) for broad interoperability. With an 850 nm VCSEL and duplex LC connector it provides reliable multimode fiber connectivity and meets RoHS requirements and laser safety Class 1 standards.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and switches
• Short-reach fiber channel links in data centers
• Network equipment requiring SFP hot-pluggable transceivers

How to use

Insert the SFP-3001 module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or transceiver-capable port until it latches; connect duplex multimode LC fiber cables (50/62.5 µm) to the module ports, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. Apply a +3.3 V supply through the host device; no additional configuration software is required. Verify link status on the host device LEDs or management interface and test the link speed and connectivity after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this transceiver with compatible multimode fiber (50/62.5 µm) and LC connectors, keep dust caps on when not connected, follow EN 60825-1 laser safety guidance, and ensure the host device supports SFP MSA modules and the required link speed.
