Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics 10063-BO 2000m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 10063-BO is a single‑port fiber optic SFP transceiver for 100BASE‑FX applications, designed to transmit data over multimode fiber up to 2000 meters. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing 20 grams, this SFP module provides a compact, MSA‑compliant LC Duplex connection for simultaneous transmit and receive on separate fibers. It supports 100 Mbit/s optical links and implements industry diagnostic features for monitoring optical parameters when supported by host hardware.

Advantages

The aluminium housing offers lightweight durability while ensuring proper thermal dissipation. MSA-compliant SFP form factor and LC Duplex connector enable broad compatibility with networking hardware that accepts standard SFP 100BASE‑FX modules. Built to industry component quality standards, the transceiver supports reliable optical transmission over multimode fiber at distances up to 2 km and includes support for digital diagnostic monitoring if the host device exposes these functions.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-range fiber links in campus and branch networks
• 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connections between switches, routers and media converters
• Fiber uplinks for storage or access equipment requiring LC Duplex SFP modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 100 Mbit/s (100BASE‑FX)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm transmitter and receiver (multimode fiber)
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 2000 meters over multimode fiber
• Connector: LC Duplex
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported when host hardware provides access

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 10063-BO SFP module into any compatible SFP slot on switches, routers or media converters that accept standard 100BASE‑FX SFP modules, taking care to align the module and push gently until it clicks into place. Connect LC Duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports; observe correct polarity (Tx to Rx). Configure the host port for 100 Mbit/s operation if required by the device. If the host supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring, enable or query DDM to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and module temperature.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode LC Duplex patch cords and verify fiber polarity and cleanliness before installation. Ensure the host device officially supports 100BASE‑FX SFP modules and, where DDM is required for monitoring, confirm the host firmware exposes diagnostic registers. Avoid exposing the module to moisture and excessive mechanical stress to maintain long service life.
