Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics E1MG-SX-OM-8-BO LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics E1MG-SX-OM-8-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver engineered for 1000Base-SX multi-mode applications. It features LC duplex connectivity, operates at 850 nm for both transmitter and receiver, and is housed in a lightweight aluminium casing weighing approximately 20 g. The module follows MSA form-factor standards and is suitable for insertion into compatible network equipment that supports 1.25 G data rates over multimode fiber up to typical distances for OMx media.

Advantages

This transceiver provides standardized SFP connectivity with LC duplex interface and 850 nm optics for short-range multimode links. The aluminium enclosure offers a lightweight, durable package while maintaining compliance with MSA mechanical and electrical specifications. The module supports common protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at up to 1.25 G and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capability when the host hardware supports SFF-8472, enabling real-time reporting of operating parameters.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on network switches, routers or storage devices while the host device is powered according to the equipment vendor's instructions. Connect LC duplex multimode patch cords, observing correct polarity for transmit and receive fibers. Ensure the linked equipment is configured for 1 G operation and that any required driver or firmware settings on the host are set to accept third-party SFP modules. If available, enable digital diagnostics monitoring on the host to monitor real-time parameters such as temperature, supply voltage and optical power.

Recommendations

Use OM-class multimode fiber patch cords and properly rated patch panels to achieve optimal performance; verify the host device compatibility list and enable DDM in the management interface for remote diagnostics. Avoid bending or stressing fiber connectors and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver.
