Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 15327-SFP-LC-SX Aluminium LC connector

The BlueOptics 15327-SFP-LC-SX Aluminium LC connector is a single‑module SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000Base‑SX multimode fiber links. Constructed with an aluminium housing and an LC duplex interface, this compact transceiver supports optical transmission and reception at 850 nm and is intended for short‑range gigabit Ethernet and similar high‑speed applications. The module weighs approximately 20 g and conforms to MSA SFP form‑factor standards for broad hardware compatibility.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP transceiver provides compatibility with major networking platforms that accept standard 1000Base‑SX SFP modules while using an aluminium enclosure for lightweight durability. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive via an LC duplex connector and offers digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support when the host hardware enables it. Components used in manufacturing are selected to meet industry MSA specifications for predictable performance and extended operational lifetime.

Suitable for

• Short‑range multimode fiber gigabit Ethernet links (up to typical multimode distances)
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections in campus and enterprise networks
• Storage and routing hardware that accept MSA‑compliant SFP modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form‑factor Pluggable)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Supported data rate: 1.25 Gbps (1000Base‑SX)
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM): supported when enabled by host hardware

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 15327‑SFP‑LC‑SX into any compatible SFP slot on switches, routers or storage devices while the system is powered down or following the host vendor's hot‑swap procedures. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface. If DDM/DOM information is required, confirm that the host platform supports and enables the diagnostic interface to read real‑time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias, output power, received power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality multimode fiber patch cords and maintain clean LC connector endfaces to achieve optimal transmission distance and low loss. Match the transceiver to the host hardware's supported SFP modules and confirm software compatibility if using third‑party modules. For critical links, monitor DDM/DOM parameters regularly when supported and schedule periodic inspections to maintain connection integrity.
