BlueOptics 1G-SFP-LX-OM-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic SFP 10000 m

The BlueOptics 1G-SFP-LX-OM-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for single-mode optical links with an SFP interface. Constructed in aluminium and weighing approximately 20 g, this module supports optical transmission over distances up to 10,000 m and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts SFP transceivers. It implements 1000BASE-LX optical signalling with separate transmit and receive channels and uses an LC duplex connector for fibre connections.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver follows MSA-compatible SFP form-factor conventions and provides 1000BASE-LX performance for Ethernet and other optical protocols. The aluminium housing provides mechanical stability while keeping the module lightweight. Compatibility testing is performed to ensure the module functions in hardware that supports standard 1000BASE-LX SFPs, and the design includes support for single-mode fibre links up to 10 km for longer-range connectivity.

Suitable for

• Longer-distance single-mode fiber links within LAN and campus networks
• Switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports that accept 1000BASE-LX modules
• Upgrading or replacing existing 1 Gbps fibre transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Optical standard: 1000BASE-LX (1 Gbps)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 10,000 m over single-mode fibre
• Material / colour: aluminium housing (aluminium colour)
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into an empty SFP slot on compatible network hardware until it latches. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fibre patch cord to the module, observing transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-LX SFP modules and, if required, that any firmware or software settings permit third-party transceivers. After connection, verify link status and, if available, use the device management interface to confirm optical link parameters and diagnostics.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use single-mode LC duplex fibre and high-quality patch cords matched to the link distance. Verify that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM if you need optical diagnostics, and follow proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module. Keep protective caps on the optical ports when not in use to prevent contamination.
