Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics E1MG-BXD-FY-BO 20000 m

The BlueOptics E1MG-BXD-FY-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver engineered for reliable 1.25 Gbps data transmission over distances up to 20,000 m. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module conforms to MSA SFP form-factor standards and uses an LC simplex connector. The device implements a bidirectional 1000BASE-BX-D configuration with a 1310 nm transmitter and a 1490 nm receiver, suitable for point-to-point optical links in switches, routers and other network equipment that support compatible 1000BASE-BX-D SFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver offers compatibility with standard SFP interfaces and follows defined MSA specifications to ensure interoperability with major hardware platforms. Its aluminium housing provides durability while keeping weight low. The module supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host device provides support, enabling real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature. Designed for use with single-mode fiber and LC connectors, the module supports Ethernet and related high-speed protocols at up to 1.25 Gbps over long distances.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links up to 20 km
• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in enterprise and carrier networks
• Interconnects between switches, routers, storage systems and transmission equipment
• Environments requiring DDM/DOM-enabled modules for remote diagnostics

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your network device following the vendor’s hot-plug procedure. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cable between this transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel. Ensure polarity and fiber type match the bidirectional BX-D configuration (one fiber carrying transmit and receive on different wavelengths). If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, verify that the host device supports the diagnostic interface and access the monitoring parameters through the device management system.

Usage recommendations

Use single-mode LC simplex patch cords and, where applicable, a compatible patch panel to achieve optimal optical performance. Confirm firmware or software compatibility with the host device for guaranteed operation and access to DDM/DOM features. Observe standard ESD precautions during handling and ensure connectors are clean and dust-free before mating to maintain signal quality and module lifetime.
