SFP transceiver CBO SFP-100-SM15 single-mode 100 Mbps

The BlueOptics SFP-100-SM15 is a compact SFP transceiver for single-mode fiber links at 100 Mbps. It provides a small-form-factor optical interface designed for insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and other network devices that support 100 Mbps single-mode connections. The module enables extension of fiber connections over longer distances while maintaining low power consumption and allowing hot-pluggable installation without powering down network equipment.

Advantages

This single-mode SFP transceiver combines a compact form factor with industry-standard compatibility to simplify upgrades and repairs of existing networks. It supports hot-swapping for minimal downtime, consumes little power for energy-efficient operation, and is engineered to deliver stable data transmission over single-mode fiber. The module's design focuses on straightforward integration into networking hardware and on providing a reliable optical connection for point-to-point links.

Suitable for

• Connecting 100 Mbps single-mode fiber segments between switches and routers
• Extending Ethernet links over longer distances in campus and metro networks
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports in managed and unmanaged network equipment
• Lab testing and temporary fiber links during maintenance or deployment

Key specifications

• Data rate: 100 Mbps
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Interface: optical
• Hot-pluggable: yes
• Power consumption: low (typical for small SFP modules)

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or media converter while the host is powered on, ensuring the module is fully seated. Connect appropriate single-mode fiber patch cords to the optical receptacle, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and speed on the host device and configure network settings as required by your environment. For safe removal, follow your equipment's hot-swap procedure or disable the port before extracting the module.

Usage recommendations

Use single-mode fiber patch cords with suitable connectors and maintain clean fiber endfaces to ensure optimal signal quality. Avoid exposing the transceiver to excessive dust, moisture or mechanical shock, and follow manufacturer guidance for operating temperature and handling to preserve long-term reliability.
