BlueOptics SFP Transceiver, LC-Duplex, 100BASE-ZX, Singlemode Fiber, 1550nm, 120KM, 0°C/+70°C (BO05A156C0-BO)

Engineered for extreme reach, the BlueOptics BO05A156C0-BO SFP transceiver pushes Fast Ethernet across 120 km of single-mode fiber—far beyond the typical 80 km ceiling of standard ZX optics. Its 1550 nm DFB laser and APD receiver deliver the sensitivity needed for long-haul links, while full DDM support gives you real-time visibility into optical power, temperature, and voltage. Hot-pluggable and MSA-compliant, it drops into any SFP port without interrupting the network.

Highlights

• 100BASE-ZX Fast Ethernet over single-mode fiber
• 1550 nm DFB laser with APD receiver for 120 km reach
• LC-Duplex connector, hot-pluggable SFP form factor
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) for proactive maintenance
• Industrial temperature range 0°C to +70°C
• 3.3 V power supply, MSA compliant

In daily use

Deploy this transceiver in campus backbones, metro Ethernet rings, or service provider handoffs where distance is non-negotiable. The DDM interface lets you monitor link health from the switch CLI or management platform, catching degrading optics before they cause downtime. Because it adheres to the SFP MSA, it interoperates with any compliant switch or router, eliminating vendor lock-in. The LC-Duplex interface ensures a secure, low-loss connection, and the 0°C to +70°C operating range covers most equipment rooms and outdoor cabinets without climate control.
