Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics GC100-BO 100m Aluminium

The BlueOptics GC100-BO 100m Aluminium is an SFP-class fiber optic transceiver designed for short-range, high-speed network connections up to 100 meters. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 grams, this compact module provides a standardized SFP interface for integration into compatible network equipment. The module is intended for use where reliable, space-saving transceiver units are required to extend or bridge network segments while preserving the host device's SFP slot compatibility.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides mechanical protection and thermal stability in a lightweight form factor. As an SFP transceiver, the GC100-BO supports hot-plug installation and is compatible with standardized SFP ports, enabling straightforward replacement or addition to switches, routers or other SFP-capable devices. Its compact dimensions and 20 g weight make it suitable for dense installations where space and weight matter.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics GC100-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on the host device until it latches. Ensure the host device supports SFP modules and that any required link speed or negotiation settings are configured in the device firmware or management interface. Connect the appropriate fiber optic patch cable to the module's optical interface, observe correct polarity where applicable, and verify link status through the host device LEDs or management console. For safe handling, avoid touching optical interfaces and store protective caps on the transceiver when not in use.

Recommendations

Use certified singlemode or multimode fiber and compatible patch cords for the expected link distance. Verify device compatibility and firmware settings before deployment and follow ESD-safe handling practices when inserting or removing the SFP module.
