BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BX40-U1550LC-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 40000 m

The BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BX40-U1550LC-BO is a single-mode fiber optic transceiver module with an SFP interface designed for point-to-point gigabit Ethernet links over long distances up to 40,000 m. The module uses a single LC simplex connector and supports asymmetric wavelength transmission with a 1550 nm transmitter and a 1310 nm receiver suitable for 1000BASE-BX-U operation. It is compact and lightweight (approximately 20 g) and is intended for integration into network equipment that accepts MSA-compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides long-reach single-mode connectivity in an industry-standard SFP form factor, enabling gigabit data transfer over extended distances. Its LC connector and single-fiber bidirectional design reduce cabling complexity where single-fiber solutions are required. The lightweight aluminium housing supports easy handling and installation in switches, routers or other network devices that support SFP transceivers.

How to use

Install the module into an open SFP port on compatible network equipment according to the device manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the host supports 1000BASE-BX-U modules and the module’s DDM/DOM feature if required. Use a single-mode LC patch cable or appropriate fiber patch panel to connect to the remote transceiver. Observe correct fiber polarity and handling practices: keep connectors clean, use dust caps until connection, and avoid sharp bends in the fiber. After insertion, verify link status and speed in the host device network management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance performance, pair this transceiver with quality single-mode fiber and LC connectors, verify compatibility with the host device, and enable DDM/DOM monitoring on supported hardware to observe optical parameters and simplify troubleshooting.
