Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics ONS-SI-GE-LX=-BO 10000 m

The BlueOptics ONS-SI-GE-LX=-BO fiber optic SFP transceiver is designed for high-speed single-mode optical links up to 10,000 m. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module supports 1000BASE-LX operation with LC duplex connectivity and is intended for installation in SFP-compatible network equipment that accepts 1000BASE-LX modules. The module provides separate 1310 nm transmit and receive channels for reliable optical data transmission in Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications up to 1.25 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP is built to MSA specifications for form factor and electrical/optical interfaces, enabling interoperability with major switch, router and storage platforms that support 1000BASE-LX SFP modules. Its aluminium housing offers mechanical protection and thermal dissipation while the compact SFP form factor permits hot-pluggable installation. The module is tested for compatibility and contains high-quality optical and electronic components to ensure stable performance and extended service life.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode Ethernet links up to 10 km
• Inter-switch or switch-to-router connections in campus and metro networks
• Storage area network uplinks and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links
• Telecommunications links requiring LC duplex optical interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1.25 Gbit/s (1000BASE-LX compatible)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm transmit and receive
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 10,000 m over single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Housing material and colour: aluminium / aluminium-coloured casing
• Hot-pluggable SFP form factor

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an SFP slot of the network device while the device is powered according to the vendor's instructions or as permitted by the equipment's hot-swap policy. Connect an appropriate single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive pairing. Configure the network equipment to recognize and enable the 1000BASE-LX link; verify link status through the host device management interface or LED indicators. If digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) are supported by the host, enable monitoring to observe supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and module temperature.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation budget and an LC duplex connector for optimal performance. Confirm host device compatibility with 1000BASE-LX SFP modules and, if necessary, test the module in the target hardware before full deployment. Handle the transceiver and fiber connectors following standard ESD and contamination prevention practices to maintain signal integrity and module lifetime.
