1000BASE-LX SFP Compatible Transceiver: 1.25G-SFP-10D

Our EDGEOPTIC 1.25G-SFP-10D is a multi-vendor compatible 1000BASE-LX SFP dual-fiber optical module designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications operating over single-mode fiber cabling. The 1.25G-SFP-10D module operates at 1310nm wavelength for transmission and reception, with data rates from 1.063 to 1.25 Gbps and supports multiple protocol standards and applications. Our 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver utilizes FP (Fabry-Perot) laser for transmission and PIN photodiode for receiving. Transceiver ensures a 13 dB guaranteed optical link budget, which determines the maximum transmission distance. Over single-mode fiber, the transceiver can reach distances up to 10 kilometers, making it ideal for campus and metropolitan network deployments. However, distance is just an indicative parameter calculated for comfort of identification – eventually we calculate distance taking into account minimal optical budget and average attenuation of optical cabling in industry.

1.25G-SFP-10D compatible 1000BASE-LX module is hot-pluggable SFP with duplex LC/UPC connectors as an optical interface. The electrical interface conforms to INF-8074i MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard SFP host systems supporting multiple vendor equipment platforms. Our 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver can be encoded to be compatible and successfully operate in different 80+ brands of equipment. The module incorporates DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality providing real-time information including transmitted and received optical power levels, module temperature, bias current, and supply voltage. This diagnostic data is available via MSA-compatible EEPROM interface and enables monitoring of transceiver operational parameters. The module operates within a 0 to 70°C temperature range, with appropriate thermal considerations for sustained operation in controlled network environments.

Standards compliance includes IEEE 802.3z for Gigabit Ethernet, along with support for 1G Fiber Channel applications at 1.0625 Gbps. The transceiver achieves multi-vendor interoperability through adherence to industry MSA standards, though equipment with vendor-specific module validation may require custom EEPROM programming for compatibility. Our 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver is CE/RoHS certified, and it is compliant with Class 1 FDA and IEC60825-1 laser safety standards.

Typical applications are enterprise campus backbones, metropolitan area network access rings, inter-building connections, and service provider edge networks. The 10km reach capability provides sufficient distance for most enterprise and metro deployments while maintaining cost-effectiveness compared to extended-reach alternatives. The module's wavelength bandwidth of 100nm (1260-1360nm) ensures stable operation across varying environmental conditions. Because our focus is providing top quality service, we are performing serious quality checks before delivery of our products. As a result, we do optical parameter measurements, connector cleanness tests and SFP transceiver EEPROM memory data validation tests.
