SFP Transceiver BlueOptics BO05U13602D (60183-BO) — LC Duplex, 1000BASE-X, Multimode 1310nm, 2 km, DDM, 0°/+70°C

BlueOptics BO05U13602D is a hot-pluggable SFP transceiver designed for 1000BASE-X gigabit optical links. The module uses an LC duplex connector and operates at 1310 nm over multimode fiber, providing a link reach of up to 2 km. Integrated Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) enables real-time monitoring of optical parameters, and the module is specified to operate in ambient temperatures from 0° to +70°C, making it suitable for standard indoor network equipment such as switches, routers and media converters.

Advantages

The transceiver offers hot-swappable installation for minimal downtime and straightforward replacement. Using LC duplex multimode optics at 1310 nm, it supports reliable gigabit transmission over short to medium distances up to 2 km. Built-in DDM provides access to optical power, temperature and other operational parameters for easier diagnostics and maintenance. The operating temperature range and standard SFP form factor ensure compatibility with a wide range of network devices.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Upgrading switches, routers or media converters to gigabit fiber connections
• Establishing fiber links within campus, office, or data closet environments up to 2 km
• Replacement of faulty SFP modules in existing multimode fiber infrastructure
• Network diagnostics and monitoring where DDM information is required

When it may not be suitable

This SFP transceiver is intended for multimode fiber at 1310 nm with a maximum reach of 2 km; it is not suitable for long-haul links or single-mode fiber runs that require longer distances or different wavelengths. It also requires compatible SFP ports and may not function with equipment that enforces vendor-specific firmware locking.

Key specifications

• Interface: LC duplex connector
• Standard: 1000BASE-X (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: Multimode
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Maximum reach: up to 2 km
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) supported
• Operating temperature range: 0° to +70°C
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or off, as the module is hot-pluggable. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and, if supported, access DDM readings via the device management interface to check optical power levels, temperature and module status. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the module and keep dust caps on the optical interfaces until connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the target equipment accepts third-party SFP modules and does not require vendor-locked transceivers
• Verify that network runs use multimode fiber and that 1310 nm wavelength and 2 km reach meet distance requirements
• Ensure the host ports support SFP modules and gigabit 1000BASE-X links
• Check environmental requirements to confirm the operating temperature range (0° to +70°C) is sufficient

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use high-quality multimode fiber and matched LC duplex patch cords, check DDM readings after installation, and store spare modules in anti-static packaging with protective dust caps in place.
