Modulo ricetrasmettitore SFP BlueOptics SFP-ZX-CM-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-ZX-CM-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a nominal data rate of up to 1250 Mbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a metal enclosure with a compact SFP form factor and a weight of approximately 3 g, this module requires a 3.3 V supply and provides bidirectional optical transmission via an LC duplex interface. The component is intended for installation in compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and other network devices that accept MSA-compliant SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module combines a compact metal housing with industry-standard SFP compatibility to offer mechanical robustness and easy hot-swap installation. Operating at 1550 nm for long-reach single-mode transmission, it supports common protocols up to 1.25 Gbit/s while remaining lightweight. The SFP-ZX-CM-BO is suitable for environments where electromagnetic immunity of fiber is required and where stable optical links over extended distances are needed. Its design follows MSA guidelines to ensure interoperability with networking hardware that supports 1000BASE-ZX type transceivers.

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the host device, then insert the BlueOptics SFP-ZX-CM-BO into an available compatible SFP slot until it latches. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords with correct polarity to the module’s connectors. Ensure the host device is configured for the required Ethernet or optical protocol and verify link activity via the device interface. To remove the module, release the latch and slide the transceiver out while following the host’s removal instructions. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and protect the fiber ends with dust caps when not connected.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and connectors rated for 1550 nm, and choose patch cords and patch panels designed for long-reach links. Confirm that the network hardware supports 1000BASE-ZX or compatible SFP transceivers and, if needed, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor supply voltage, optical power and temperature. Follow manufacturer guidelines for operating temperature and installation to ensure stable long-term operation.
