BlueOptics OM-SFP-GIGABIT-MULTIMODE-BO Fiber optic transceiver module 550m

The BlueOptics OM-SFP-GIGABIT-MULTIMODE-BO is a multimode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1 Gbps applications over multimode fiber. Constructed with an aluminum housing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module supports optical transmission up to 550 meters and uses LC duplex connectivity with 850 nm wavelength components for transmitter and receiver functions. The module conforms to MSA-based SFP form-factor expectations and is intended for installation in network devices that accept standard SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver provides gigabit-capable data transfer over multimode fiber with a rated reach of up to 550 m, enabling reliable short- to medium-distance optical links. Its aluminum enclosure offers mechanical durability while maintaining a lightweight profile for easy handling and deployment. Compatibility with MSA SFP interfaces and use of LC duplex fiber connections make the module suitable for a wide range of network hardware that supports standard SFP optics. Where supported by the host device, integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provide real-time monitoring of optical parameters for simplified maintenance and troubleshooting.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other networking device following the vendor's hot-swap procedures. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's LC ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device is configured for the desired network speed and that fiber type and patching meet the 550 m reach limitation. If the host supports digital diagnostics, enable or access the DDM/DOM interface through the device management tools to monitor operational parameters.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use matched multimode fiber (OM2/OM3/OM4 as appropriate) and high-quality LC duplex patch cords, avoid excessive cable bend radius, and verify compatibility with the host equipment firmware. If remote optical monitoring is required, confirm that the network device supports DDM/DOM to access voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power measurements.
