Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics 942 024-001-BO 40000 m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 942 024-001-BO fiber optic SFP transceiver is a single-mode optic module designed for high-speed data transmission over long distances up to 40,000 m. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing just 20 g, this SFP module implements an LC duplex interface and follows MSA dimensions and interface conventions for use in compatible network equipment. It supports optical transmission at 1310 nm wavelength and is suitable for 1000BASE-LH class applications, providing a single-fiber transmit and receive path via LC duplex connections.

Advantages

The aluminium housing offers a durable, lightweight form factor suitable for rack and field installations while helping with heat dissipation. Compliance with common SFP/LC physical and electrical standards enables broad compatibility with switches, routers and storage systems that accept MSA-compliant SFP modules. The device’s single-mode design and 1310 nm transmitter/receiver pair provide reliable long-reach performance and resistance to electromagnetic interference inherent to fiber-optic links.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links (1000BASE-LH) over single-mode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems in campus and carrier networks
• Fiber runs requiring LC duplex connections and MSA-compliant SFP ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP with LC duplex connector
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm (transmitter and receiver)
• Maximum reach: up to 40,000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Data rate class: 1000BASE-LH (suitable for up to ~1.25 Gbit/s Ethernet/FCoE/SDH/SONET usage)
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an empty, compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or storage device following the host hardware manufacturer’s hot-swap procedures. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s LC duplex ports, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive pairing between link endpoints. Verify link negotiation and speed settings on both ends of the fiber link and confirm that the host device supports 1000BASE-LH and the SFP’s DDM/DOM features if diagnostic monitoring is required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode fiber and high-quality LC duplex patch cords, keep fiber connectors clean, and ensure both end devices support the same optical standard and wavelength. If you plan to use digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), confirm the host hardware supports these MSA monitoring functions.
