Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics ABCU-5740RZ-BO 100m Aluminium

The BlueOptics ABCU-5740RZ-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for high-speed data transfer up to 100 meters. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 grams, this SFP module follows MSA form-factor conventions and is suitable for use in networking equipment that accepts standard SFP transceivers. It supports gigabit-class optical connections and is intended for reliable, space-saving integration into switches, routers and other network devices.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides a lightweight and durable casing that aids heat dissipation and mechanical protection. Compact SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable installation and flexible deployment in densely populated racks. Compatibility with common SFP interfaces allows straightforward integration into systems that accept standard SFP modules. The module's design targets stable gigabit transmission over multimode cabling up to the specified 100 m range.

Suitable for

• Short-range gigabit fiber links in data centre racks and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, routers and access devices within the same building
• Upgrading or replacing existing SFP ports in compatible network hardware

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum reach: up to 100 meters
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Typical application: gigabit optical data transmission
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Ensure the host device supports standard SFP transceivers and the target transmission mode before installation. Power down or follow the hot-plug procedures required by your network equipment, insert the SFP module into the SFP cage until it latches, and connect the appropriate optical or copper patch cable according to the module's connector type and the cabling in use. After installing, verify link status and data rate via the host device management interface and perform any necessary port or firmware configuration required by your system.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment and avoid touching optical interfaces. Use compatible patch cords and verify system compatibility prior to deployment. When available, enable digital diagnostic monitoring features on supported hardware to monitor operating parameters and support preventive maintenance.
