BlueOptics OM-SFP-GIGABIT-SINGLE-MODE-20-BO Fiber Optic Transceiver Module 20000m

The BlueOptics OM-SFP-GIGABIT-SINGLE-MODE-20-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for long-distance gigabit data transmission. Built to MSA standards, this 1000BASE-LX compatible module uses a 1310 nm transmitter and receiver with an LC duplex connector and supports up to 20,000 m of optical link distance. The compact aluminium housing and a weight of approximately 20 g make it suitable for deployment in switches, routers, storage systems and other network devices that accept standard SFP modules.

Advantages

This transceiver provides stable 1.25 Gbps throughput over single-mode fiber and is constructed according to industry MSA specifications for compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware. The module is manufactured using high-quality optical and electronic components to ensure long operating life, low failure rates and consistent optical performance. Where supported by host hardware, the module offers digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature, bias current and supply voltage.

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures required by the host device, then insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode fibre patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct polarity. Configure the connected network equipment for a 1000BASE-LX link if necessary. If the host supports DDM/DOM, verify diagnostic readings through the device management interface to confirm optical power and module status.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and, when possible, route fibres via patch panels to maintain optimal connector cleanliness and link quality. Verify that the host device officially supports MSA-compliant third-party SFP modules or allow for testing in a non-production environment before large deployments. Regularly inspect connectors for contamination and use appropriate cleaning tools to avoid signal loss.
