Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 03FP283-BO SFP 100m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 03FP283-BO SFP 100m Aluminium is a compact fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-reach network links up to 100 meters. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 grams, this SFP module provides a standardized SFP interface for integration into network switches, routers and compatible hardware that support SFP form factor modules. It supports high-speed data transfer suitable for Ethernet applications and is intended for environments that require reliable physical-layer connectivity in a small, hot-pluggable package.

Advantages

The aluminium casing offers mechanical durability and improved thermal dissipation in rack-mounted or dense networking environments. With its standard SFP interface the module enables easy installation and hot-swap replacement without system downtime. The lightweight design reduces stress on module cages and the compact form factor conserves space in network equipment. The product is targeted at providing stable physical-layer connectivity for short-distance copper or fiber links where a 100 m reach is sufficient.

Suitable for

• Short-reach Ethernet links in data center racks and wiring closets
• Hot-swap upgrades and replacements in switches and routers with SFP ports
• Network equipment requiring a compact, low-weight transceiver
• Environments where aluminium housing and basic thermal management are beneficial

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP form factor
• Maximum reach: up to 100 meters
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Intended use: Ethernet physical-layer transceiver for short-distance links

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 03FP283-BO module into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or other network device while the host is powered on or off according to the host vendor's guidance for hot-plug modules. Connect the appropriate cable type for the intended link and verify link status through the host device management interface. Follow the equipment vendor's instructions for any required software or firmware settings to ensure the module is recognized and operating at the intended data rate.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use compatible SFP ports and quality patch cables or patch panels rated for the intended 100 m reach. Avoid excessive mechanical stress during insertion and removal, maintain adequate airflow around densely populated cages, and verify link parameters in the host system after installation.
