Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics ALL4753-BO LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics ALL4753-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver for single-mode links with an LC duplex connector and an aluminium housing. Designed for 1000BASE-LH operation, the module transmits and receives optical signals at 1310 nm and supports data rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s over distances up to approximately 40 km when used with appropriate single-mode fiber. The compact SFP form factor and 20 g weight make this transceiver suitable for standard network equipment that follows MSA SFP specifications.

Advantages

The transceiver follows MSA-compliant SFP specifications and is compatible with hardware platforms that support the ALL4753 1000BASE-LH module. It uses high-quality optical components and integrated circuits selected for long service life and stable performance, providing a design life that typically exceeds several years under normal operating conditions. The aluminium housing offers mechanical robustness and effective thermal dissipation while the LC duplex interface enables simultaneous transmit and receive over separate fibers.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Environments requiring MSA-compliant SFP modules with LC connectors

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Typical reach: up to 40 km (depends on fiber and link budget)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: 20 g

How to use

Install the BlueOptics ALL4753-BO into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or other network device while the host device is powered down or according to the equipment vendor’s hot-plug guidance. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module’s LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status through the host device management interface and, if available, enable and read Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) parameters to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for long-haul links and confirm compatibility with the host device firmware to ensure DDM/DOM support. Observe ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and protect exposed fiber ends with dust caps when not in use.
