Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics ONS-SI-GE-ZX=-BO LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics ONS-SI-GE-ZX=-BO LC Aluminium 20g is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for long-reach gigabit transmission. It implements the 1000BASE-ZX optical standard with LC duplex connectivity and an aluminium housing, offering a compact SFP form factor and a lightweight construction for use in a wide range of networking equipment. The transceiver supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation using 1550 nm wavelength components and is suitable for single-mode fiber links over extended distances.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compliant SFP form factor and LC physical interface conventions, enabling broad compatibility with equipment that supports Cisco ONS-SI-GE-ZX= style 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers. Its aluminium housing provides mechanical durability while keeping the module weight around 20 g. Built with high-quality optical components, it supports reliable long-distance optical links with stable performance and includes support for digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host device exposes that functionality.

Suitable for

• Long-reach single-mode fiber Ethernet links (1000BASE-ZX)
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Backbone and metro access links requiring LC duplex connectors
• Environments that require MSA-compliant SFP transceivers compatible with Cisco ONS-SI-GE-ZX= type modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Optical standard: 1000BASE-ZX (1.25 Gbps)
• Wavelength: 1550 nm transmit and receive
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approximately 20 g
• Support: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatible if supported by host

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an appropriate SFP slot on a switch, router or other network device that supports 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the transceiver ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device for gigabit optical operation according to the vendor instructions. If digital diagnostic monitoring is required, enable or query DDM/DOM via the device management interface when the host platform provides that functionality.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors and patch cords are clean before installation to maintain optimal optical power levels. Verify host device compatibility with Cisco ONS-SI-GE-ZX= style 1000BASE-ZX modules and confirm DDM/DOM support if remote diagnostics are needed. Use quality single-mode fiber and appropriate patch panels or adapters to achieve the specified long-reach performance.
