Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics 430-4586-BO 80000 m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 430-4586-BO is a single-mode SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for long-distance 1000BASE-ZX links. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module supports transmission and reception at 1550 nm over distances up to 80,000 m using an LC duplex connector and complies with MSA mechanical and electrical standards for SFP form-factor interoperability.

Advantages

The module provides 1.25 Gbps optical data transfer for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications while offering immunity to electromagnetic interference inherent to fiber connections. The aluminium housing provides a lightweight, durable enclosure. The transceiver is tested for compatibility with major hardware platforms that support the original 1000BASE-ZX SFP and includes digital diagnostic monitoring capability when supported by the host device, enabling real-time readout of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Long-distance fiber links between switches and routers
• Data center uplinks and inter-site connections
• High-speed Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet links up to 1.25 Gbps
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1.25 Gbps
• Optical wavelength: 1550 nm (transmit and receive)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 80,000 m (80 km)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host hardware provides support

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or other network device that supports 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module and to the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive fibers. Verify link status on the host device and, if available, enable or query digital diagnostics to monitor module parameters. Follow the host vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and device firmware compatibility.

Recommendations

For optimal performance use single-mode fiber and high-quality LC duplex patch cords, keep fiber connectors clean, and verify that the host hardware supports both 1000BASE-ZX operation and DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is required. Match transceivers at both ends to the same optical specifications and observe manufacturer guidance for cable routing and handling to maintain the specified reach and signal quality.
