SFP transceiver BlueOptics BO05A13602D 100BASE‑FX multimode fiber 1310 nm

BlueOptics BO05A13602D is an SFP transceiver module for 100BASE‑FX multimode fiber links operating at 1310 nm. Designed for insertion into standard SFP slots in compatible switches and routers, the module enables short‑range optical Ethernet connectivity over multimode cabling. It supports fibre-based uplinks and device interconnections where a 100 Mbps optical interface is required, helping to extend network reach and add physical-link redundancy without changing the host equipment.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact, hot‑pluggable interface that simplifies adding fiber ports to network devices. Operating at 1310 nm with multimode fiber, it offers reliable short‑distance transmission with immunity to electromagnetic interference and electrical isolation between devices. The SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with equipment that accepts industry-standard small form-factor pluggable modules.

Suitable for

• 100 Mbps fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Short-range multimode fiber links within buildings or campus environments
• Creating redundant optical links for increased network availability
• Connecting industrial or secure equipment where electrical isolation is needed

Key specifications

• Data rate: 100 Mbps (100BASE‑FX)
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (hot‑pluggable)
• Application: fiber Ethernet links and uplinks

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or per the device manufacturer's guidance. Connect multimode fiber patch cords terminated with the appropriate connector type to the transceiver ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status and speed on the host device; the interface should negotiate or be configured for 100 Mbps operation. Follow standard practice for fiber handling, avoiding tight bends and securing connectors to prevent signal loss.

Usage recommendations

Use certified multimode fiber patch cords and keep connectors clean to maintain optimal optical performance. Verify cable distance and modal bandwidth of the installed multimode fiber to ensure reliable 1310 nm transmission at 100 Mbps. For mixed media networks, confirm the host device supports the SFP module and configure link settings according to the equipment documentation.
