BlueOptics SFP-1000SX-M-550M-T-BO Fiber Optic Transceiver Module SFP LC Connector

The BlueOptics SFP-1000SX-M-550M-T-BO is a single‑mode compatible fiber optic transceiver module for SFP ports, featuring an LC connector and a lightweight, durable aluminum housing. Designed for optical data transmission over multimode fiber, it supports gigabit Ethernet and related protocols for reliable short‑range links up to 550 meters. The module integrates transmitter and receiver elements operating at 850 nm and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts MSA‑compliant SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver offers standardized SFP form factor compatibility and an LC duplex interface for bidirectional optical links over multimode fiber. Its compact aluminum construction keeps weight low while providing mechanical durability. The module supports common high‑speed protocols such as 1000Base‑SX and includes diagnostics support where host hardware provides Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM). Its design targets stable short‑distance optical connections with straightforward installation into SFP slots.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or other network device while the host is powered according to the device manufacturer's guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. When supported by the host hardware, enable or verify Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to observe real‑time parameters such as optical power and module temperature via the device management interface. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and connectors should be capped when not in use.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 as supported by your infrastructure) and high‑quality LC patch cords for optimal reach and signal quality up to 550 m. Verify host compatibility lists before deployment and confirm that the equipment supports 1000Base‑SX and DDM/DOM if diagnostic access is required. Avoid bending fiber beyond specified radii and maintain clean connector endfaces to reduce insertion loss.
