SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BO Fiber optic LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1 Gbps optical links. The module uses an LC duplex connector, operates with 1310 nm transmitter and receiver wavelengths and is housed in an aluminium casing that keeps weight low (approximately 20 g). It follows MSA SFP form‑factor standards and is intended for use in network equipment that supports standard SFP 1000BASE-LX modules.

Advantages

The module provides standardized SFP compatibility and supports data rates up to 1.25 Gbps for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications. Its single‑mode design enables optical transmission over distances up to approximately 10 km when used with appropriate fiber. Built from reliable components and tested for interoperability, the transceiver offers digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature. The compact aluminium housing reduces weight while ensuring mechanical protection.

Suitable for

• 1 Gbps uplinks between switches and routers over single‑mode fiber
• Longer distance server or storage connections up to ~10 km
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET optical links
• Replacement or expansion of SFP ports in compatible network equipment

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 1310 nm transmitter and receiver
• Connector: LC duplex
• Supported data rate: up to 1.25 Gbps
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Typical reach: up to 10 km (depending on fiber and link budget)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 20 g
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported (if host hardware supports it)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BO into a compatible SFP slot on the switch, router or other network device while the host unit is powered according to the vendor’s instructions. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the module ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status on the host device and, if needed, enable or check DDM/DOM parameters via the management interface to monitor operating conditions. Follow the network equipment vendor’s guidance for hot‑swap procedures if changing modules while equipment is powered.

Usage recommendations

Use high‑quality single‑mode LC patch cords and, when possible, route fibers through patch panels to achieve stable links. Confirm that the host device firmware and drivers support third‑party SFP modules and DDM/DOM functionality to access digital diagnostic data. For optimal range and performance, verify link budget and use appropriate attenuators or connectors when integrating into existing infrastructure.
