Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 100-01956-BO SFP 20000 m

The BlueOptics 100-01956-BO SFP 20000 m is a single-mode fiber optic transceiver module designed for point-to-point optical links up to 20,000 meters. Housed in an aluminum casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP form-factor module provides a compact solution for compatible network equipment that accepts SFP modules and LC simplex connections. It supports 1000BASE-BX-U single-fiber transmission with distinct transmit and receive wavelengths and follows MSA physical standards for interoperability.

Advantages

This transceiver offers reliable long-reach single-mode performance suitable for metropolitan and campus links. The aluminum housing provides mechanical protection and thermal stability while the small SFP form factor allows flexible hot-plug installation in switches, routers or other network devices that support SFP modules. The module is tested for compatibility with platforms that accept the corresponding standard SFP transceiver and is designed to operate with common fiber-optic cabling and LC simplex connectors.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links over single-mode fiber up to 20 km
• Interconnecting switches, routers and edge devices in campus or metro networks
• Replacement or upgrade of compatible SFP transceivers in supported hardware

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Transmission distance: up to 20,000 m (20 km) over single-mode fiber
• Form factor: SFP module with LC simplex connector
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Data rate class: 1000BASE (Gigabit Ethernet / 1.25 Gbps optical line rate)

How to use

Install the module into an SFP-compliant port of a compatible switch, router or network device while the device is powered according to the vendor's hot-plug guidelines. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cable to the module's connector, ensuring correct orientation for the single-fiber bidirectional (BX) pair: one device transmits on one wavelength and receives on the other. Verify link status on the host device and confirm matching link configuration (speed, duplex, and any required BX optics settings) in the device management interface.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC simplex fiber patch cords and, when available, test the module in the specific hardware platform to confirm compatibility. Ensure the host device supports single-fiber BX SFP optics and enable any required digital diagnostic monitoring features only if the platform provides DOM/DDM support.
