Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics 942 108-001-BO 2000 m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 942 108-001-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for 1000BASE-X applications and supports optical data transmission over multimode fiber up to 2000 m. It comes in a lightweight aluminium housing and uses an LC duplex connector for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The transceiver implements 1310 nm transmit and receive wavelengths and conforms to MSA mechanical and electrical standards for SFP modules, making it suitable for integration into network switches, routers and storage systems that support standard SFP interfaces.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP module provides standardized SFP form factor compatibility, a compact aluminium enclosure that keeps weight to 20 g, and support for up to 1.25 Gbit/s throughput per the 1000BASE-X specification. The LC duplex interface enables bidirectional optical links while multimode fiber operation and 1310 nm optical components reduce electromagnetic interference vulnerability common to copper links. Modules are manufactured to MSA guidelines and undergo compatibility testing for reliable plug-and-play operation in equipment that supports equivalent Hirschmann transceivers.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber up to 2 km
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET transport within supported platforms
• Upgrading switches, routers or storage systems that accept SFP 1000BASE-X modules
• Replacing or adding transceivers in data center and enterprise network backbones

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedure specified by your hardware vendor before installing the SFP. Remove dust caps from the LC connector and insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP port until it latches. Connect LC duplex patch cords between transceivers or to a patch panel, ensuring transmit-to-receive alignment. Configure the host device for 1000BASE-X operation if required by the platform. If the device supports Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM), monitor optical parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output/input power and temperature through the management interface for operational checks.

Recommendations

Use certified multimode fiber and quality LC duplex patch cords for optimal range and signal integrity. Verify host compatibility with standard SFP 1000BASE-X modules and confirm DDM/DOM support if remote diagnostics are needed. Store unused modules with protective dust caps and avoid exposure to contaminants or mechanical stress during installation.
