Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics 740-020426-BO 40000 m

The BlueOptics 740-020426-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for high-speed single-mode optical links with a quoted maximum reach of 40,000 m. Constructed in a lightweight aluminium housing and compliant with industry SFP form-factor conventions, this module provides a compact interface for 1 Gbit-class optical connections using LC Simplex connectivity. It is intended for integration into networking equipment that accepts standard SFP modules and supports compatible optical protocols.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact aluminium design and a very low weight of approximately 0.02 kg, which simplifies handling and installation. It follows MSA-aligned SFP mechanical and electrical conventions to ensure interoperability with equipment that supports SFP modules. The module is suitable for long-distance single-mode fiber links, providing a single-fiber transmit/receive arrangement via LC Simplex connectivity and supporting standard optical networking applications.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links in access and metro networks
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP modules
• Network upgrades where a compact 1 G-class optical transceiver is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Application: single-mode fiber optical transceiver for long-reach links
• Connector type: LC Simplex
• Housing material and colour: aluminium, aluminium-colour finish
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Typical supported protocols: 1 Gbit Ethernet / Fibre Channel over Ethernet / SDH/SONET class applications
• Designed reach: up to 40,000 m (single-mode fiber)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP into a compatible SFP slot of your network device with the module latch aligned to the port. Connect an LC Simplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the SFP connector, ensuring correct polarity for the single-fiber transmit and receive arrangement. Configure the host device to recognize and enable the SFP port according to the device vendor’s instructions; some platforms may require software configuration or confirmation of supported transceiver types. Verify link status and optical power levels in the host management interface after installation.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and, when possible, a patch panel or properly keyed adapters to maintain optimal optical performance. Confirm that your target hardware supports SFP transceivers and the module’s digital diagnostic features if you require remote monitoring. Handle the transceiver by its housing and protect unused ports with dust caps to avoid contamination.
