Transceptor SFP BlueOptics BTI-MGBIC-GZX-DD-LC-BO 1250 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics BTI-MGBIC-GZX-DD-LC-BO is a single-mode SFP transceiver designed for 1000BASE-ZX applications. It supports a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a metal casing and weighing just 20 g, the module provides a compact, durable interface with an LC duplex connector for fiber optic links and a nominal 3.3 V supply voltage.

Advantages

The module conforms to MSA SFP form-factor guidelines and is compatible with a wide range of networking hardware that accepts 1000BASE-ZX transceivers. Its single-mode 1550 nm transmitter and receiver enable long-reach optical links up to 80 km under appropriate conditions. Built with high-quality optoelectronic components and a metal housing, the transceiver offers longevity, EMI resilience, and stable optical performance. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability provides real-time operational data to support maintenance and troubleshooting when the host supports this feature.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered off or following the manufacturer's hot-swap guidance. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cord to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters from the host system to confirm optical power, temperature and supply readings. Ensure the host device firmware supports third‑party SFP modules if required by the hardware vendor.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for 1550 nm to achieve maximum range. Keep optical connectors clean and use dust caps when ports are unused. Confirm compatibility with the host device and enable DDM/DOM monitoring in systems that support it to assist in remote diagnostics. Follow ESD precautions during installation to protect the transceiver and associated equipment.
