SFP Transceiver BlueOptics 60202-BO 1000BASE-BX-U Singlemode LC-Simplex TX1310nm/RX1490nm 10 km DDM

The BlueOptics 60202-BO 1000BASE-BX-U SFP transceiver is a compact single‑fiber module designed for gigabit Ethernet and fiber uplink applications. It uses a singlemode LC‑Simplex connector, transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1490 nm, and supports link distances up to 10 km. The module includes DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) for real‑time monitoring of optical performance parameters, making it suitable for deployment in telecom and network equipment where simplex fiber links are required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a space‑efficient SFP form factor compatible with many switches, routers and media converters that support 1000BASE‑BX‑U optics. Singlemode operation with LC‑Simplex connector simplifies single‑fiber installations, reducing cabling complexity in point‑to‑point uplinks. Built‑in DDM offers access to diagnostic data such as optical power, temperature and laser bias current, enabling proactive monitoring and troubleshooting. Support for up to 10 km link length covers typical campus and metropolitan connections.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Single‑fiber point‑to‑point links in telecom and carrier networks
• Network equipment and media converters with SFP slots supporting 1000BASE‑BX‑U
• Environments requiring optical performance monitoring via DDM

When it may not be suitable

This SFP transceiver is intended for singlemode simplex (single‑fiber) connections using the specified wavelengths (TX 1310 nm / RX 1490 nm). It is not suitable for multimode fiber networks or for applications that require different wavelength pairs or duplex fiber connections. It also requires host equipment that supports 1000BASE‑BX‑U optics and may not function in devices that strictly enforce vendor lock or incompatible SFP EEPROM profiles.

Key specifications

• Optical type: singlemode
• Connector: LC‑Simplex
• Transmit wavelength: 1310 nm
• Receive wavelength: 1490 nm
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000BASE‑BX‑U)
• Maximum link distance: up to 10 km (depending on fiber and link budget)
• Monitoring: DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring)
• Form factor: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down if recommended by the equipment vendor. Connect the singlemode LC‑Simplex fiber cable with the Tx and Rx ends oriented according to your link plan (module transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1490 nm). After installation, verify link status on the host device and check DDM readings to confirm optical power and module health. Follow vendor guidelines for hot‑swap procedures and ESD precautions during handling.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the host device supports 1000BASE‑BX‑U SFP modules and the LC‑Simplex connector format
• Verify that singlemode simplex fiber and the required wavelength pairing (1310 nm TX / 1490 nm RX) match your network design
• Check supported link distance against your fiber route and link budget
• Ensure compatibility with any vendor SFP locking or EEPROM verification policies used by your equipment

Usage recommendations

Use this SFP in matched pairs or with compatible BX counterparts on the remote end to ensure proper wavelength alignment. Regularly monitor DDM parameters to detect degradations in optical power or temperature shifts, and keep spare modules on hand for critical uplink redundancy.
