SFP transceiver BlueOptics AC-SFP-LX-E-40-BO 1250 Mbit/s optický

The BlueOptics AC-SFP-LX-E-40-BO is a single-port SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-LH applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber and uses an LC duplex optical connector in a compact silver metal housing. With a small weight of 20 g and an MTBF of approximately 1,000,000 hours, the module is intended for reliable point-to-point optical links up to long distances in enterprise and carrier networks.

Advantages

The transceiver is MSA-compliant and engineered for compatibility with a wide range of network equipment that supports 1000BASE-LH SFP modules. It integrates a 1310 nm transmitter and receiver pair suitable for single-mode fiber, and it includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatibility for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when supported by the host device. The metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal stability for continuous operation.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbit/s Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Long-reach optical connections between switches, routers and storage systems
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Network expansions and replacement of OEM SFP modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm transmitter and receiver (1000BASE-LH)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Housing material and colour: metal housing, silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): approx. 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the switch, router or storage device while the host equipment is powered down or according to the device manufacturer's hot-plug guidelines. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. If the host supports digital diagnostics monitoring, enable or query the DDM/DOM interface to read operating parameters for proactive maintenance. Verify link status and configure the network port for the intended protocol and speed if required by the host system.

Recommendations

Use a high-quality single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cable and proper cable management to preserve signal quality. Confirm host-device support for 1000BASE-LH and DDM functions before deployment. For long-term reliability, avoid excessive mechanical stress or contamination of the optical connector endfaces and follow standard cleaning procedures when necessary.
