1G SFP Duplex
Introduction
The “1.25G Duplex SFP” series is a family of compact, hot-pluggable optical transceiver modules that deliver up to 1.25 Gbps data rates over fiber. These SFP modules support duplex LC connectors, are compliant with the SFP MSA standard and SFF-8472 diagnostics, and operate from a single +3.3 V supply.
Depending on the model, they offer different reach and fiber types — from multimode fiber (MMF) up to ~550 m (850 nm version), to single-mode fiber (SMF) links reaching tens or even up to ~140 km (1550 nm version). These modules are designed to provide a cost-effective, standards-compliant solution for Gigabit Ethernet, fiber-channel, or other optical networking needs, offering flexibility depending on distance and fiber infrastructure.

General Characteristics (applies to most/all variants):
· Data Rate: up to 1.25 Gbps (1000BASE-X / 1 G Fibre-Channel, etc.)
· Footprint: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-swappable — meaning modules can be inserted/removed without powering down the host.
· Interface: Duplex LC connector (two-fiber: one for TX, one for RX) for duplex SFP variants.
· Compliance: SFP MSA standard, supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) per SFF-8472 — allowing real-time monitoring of optical link parameters (received power, transmitted power, bias current, supply voltage and temperature.)
· Power: Single +3.3 V supply.
· Operating Environment: 0 °C to +70 °C (Standard) and –40 °C to +85 °C (Industrial Variants).
· Safety & Compliance: Class-1 laser safety compliant; RoHS compliant.
