Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics GLC-FE-100FX-BO 2000m Aluminium

The BlueOptics GLC-FE-100FX-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver for 100BASE-FX networks, designed for optical data transmission over multimode fiber up to 2000 meters. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing 20 grams, the module complies with MSA SFP form-factor conventions and uses LC duplex optical connectors for simultaneous transmit and receive on separate fibers. It supports 100 Mbps Ethernet and is compatible with hardware platforms that accept 100BASE-FX SFP modules.

Advantages

The module combines a compact aluminium housing with low weight for easy handling and installation. It provides optical isolation from electromagnetic interference and supports reliable links over multimode fiber. Built to MSA specifications, the transceiver is interoperable with a wide range of networking equipment and includes support for digital diagnostics where the host platform exposes the DDM/DOM interface.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or other networking device while the device is powered according to the vendor's guidelines. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive polarity. Configure the network interface on the host device as a 100BASE-FX optical port if required by the platform. If digital diagnostics are needed, enable or query the DDM/DOM registers through the host system management tools when supported by the hardware.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and proper fibre management (patch panels or direct pigtails) to achieve the specified 2000 m reach, and verify that the host device firmware and software support 100BASE-FX SFP modules and the DDM/DOM function if monitoring is required.
