BlueOptics SFP-OC3-SR-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 2000 m

The BlueOptics SFP-OC3-SR-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. It supports 100BASE-FX optical Ethernet transmission with a maximum range of up to 2000 m and uses LC duplex connectors. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module follows MSA form-factor standards and is compatible with systems that accept OC-3/SR 100BASE-FX SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module provides optical data transmission over multimode fiber using 1310 nm transmit and receive wavelengths, enabling simultaneous send and receive operation via LC duplex connection. It is manufactured to MSA standards for mechanical and electrical compatibility and is designed to operate with a wide range of network equipment. The aluminium housing offers mechanical durability while the lightweight design simplifies installation in dense networking environments. When supported by host hardware, the transceiver can provide Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) information for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit and receive power, and temperature.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber Ethernet links (100BASE-FX)
• Switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP OC-3/SR transceivers
• Network extensions and interconnects in campus or enterprise environments
• Optical links requiring LC duplex connectors and 1310 nm optical wavelengths

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA compliant)
• Optical standard: 100BASE-FX / OC-3 (short range)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (TX/RX)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 2000 m over multimode fiber
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring: supported when enabled by host hardware

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the switch, router or other networking device according to the device manufacturer's instructions. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the TX and RX ports matching the link polarity. Ensure the host device supports the selected optical standard and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM reporting in the host system to monitor real-time optical parameters. After insertion and connection, verify link status and configuration through the network device management interface.

Recommendations

To achieve optimal link performance, use multimode fiber and certified LC duplex patch cords, verify polarity and length limitations for 100BASE-FX over multimode fiber, and confirm host compatibility with OC-3/SR SFP modules. If remote monitoring is needed, ensure the host supports DDM/DOM and check diagnostic readings periodically to detect signal degradation early.
