Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics RDH10244/2-BO SFP LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics RDH10244/2-BO SFP LC Aluminium is a single‑mode fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE‑LX applications. It comes in a compact SFP form factor with an LC duplex connector and an aluminium housing, weighing approximately 20 g. The module transmits and receives optical signals at 1310 nm and supports link distances up to around 10 km when used with appropriate single‑mode fiber, providing a standardized interface for integration into switches, routers and other network equipment that accept MSA‑compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP module follows MSA standards and offers compatibility with equipment that supports 1000BASE‑LX SFP transceivers. The aluminium enclosure provides mechanical durability and thermal stability while keeping the module lightweight. The transceiver supports simultaneous transmit and receive over a duplex LC connection and includes digital diagnostic capabilities when supported by the host hardware, enabling real‑time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias, optical output/input power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber (1000BASE‑LX)
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems within campus or metro networks
• Applications requiring up to 10 km single‑mode fiber reach
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form‑Factor Pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (Tx/Rx)
• Data rate: up to 1.25 Gbps (nominal for 1000BASE‑LX)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Typical reach: up to ~10 km (depends on fiber and link conditions)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM): supported when host hardware implements MSA SFF‑8472

How to use

Handle the SFP module by its housing, avoiding direct contact with the fiber endfaces and optical ports. Insert the module into an appropriate SFP slot of a switch, router or other network device that supports 1000BASE‑LX transceivers, ensuring the module is fully seated and latched according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Use LC duplex single‑mode patch cords for the connection, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. If the host device provides digital diagnostics, monitor operational parameters through the device management interface to verify link health and performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use single‑mode fiber and low‑loss LC connectors, maintain clean connector endfaces with appropriate cleaning tools, and verify compatibility of the host equipment with 1000BASE‑LX SFP modules. Confirm that the host supports DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is required, and follow the manufacturer’s installation and safety guidelines when hot‑plugging transceivers.
