BlueOptics SFP-1G-LX-CB-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic SFP LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-LX-CB-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module with an LC duplex connector and an SFP interface. Designed for 1 Gbps class optical links, the module comes in a lightweight aluminium housing (approx. 20 g) and follows MSA form‑factor standards to ensure interoperability with compatible networking equipment. It is intended for long‑reach single‑mode connections and is suitable for installation in switches, routers and other network devices that accept SFP 1000BASE‑LX modules.

Advantages

The module supports 1000BASE‑LX single‑mode transmission and uses separate optical transmit and receive channels to carry signals over long distances with low electromagnetic interference. Its compact SFP form factor and LC duplex interface allow simple hot‑plug installation and flexible deployment in rack and field environments. The aluminium housing provides a lightweight, durable enclosure that eases handling and mounting in dense equipment configurations. Designed to meet common MSA standards, the transceiver enables straightforward compatibility with devices that support 1 Gbps LX SFP modules.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP‑1G‑LX‑CB‑BO by inserting the module into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router or storage device while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s hot‑swap guidelines. Connect LC duplex single‑mode patch cables to the module’s LC connector, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly routed between endpoints. Configure the host port for 1 Gbps LX operation if necessary and verify the link status and diagnostics via the device management interface. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and protect the optical interfaces with dust caps until connected.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑reach performance, use single‑mode fiber and high‑quality LC patch cords, observe correct polarity when connecting transmit and receive fibers, and confirm that the host hardware supports 1000BASE‑LX SFP modules and any digital diagnostic (DDM/DOM) functions required for monitoring.
