Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 1AB187280063-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 1AB187280063-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX multimode fiber networks. It uses an SFP form factor with an LC duplex connector and supports optical transmission and reception at 850 nm. The module is compact and lightweight (approximately 20 g) and conforms to MSA SFP mechanical and electrical standards to ensure interoperability with hardware that supports compatible 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This transceiver offers standardized SFP connectivity with LC duplex interfaces for straightforward installation in compatible switches, routers and storage equipment. The module supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels over multimode fiber and is manufactured using components selected to meet defined industry standards, which contributes to extended operational lifetime and stable optical performance. When supported by the host device, the transceiver provides digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time readings of supply voltage, temperature, transmit power and receive power.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode Ethernet links up to typical 550 m distances
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections in LANs
• Storage area networking and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at 1.25 G
• Replacement or upgrade of compatible 1000Base-SX SFP modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Supported data rate: up to 1.25 Gbit/s (1000Base-SX class)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Typical transmission reach: up to 550 m on multimode fiber (application dependent)
• Product colour: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostic monitoring: available when supported by host hardware (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)

How to use

Ensure the host device supports compatible 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers and, if needed, DDM functions. Insert the SFP module into an appropriate SFP cage slot until it latches, then connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module and the remote endpoint, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Power on the host device and verify link status through the device management interface or LED indicators. For best performance, use recommended multimode fiber types and quality patch cords, avoid sharp bends in the fiber, and follow the host vendor’s instructions for module handling and hot-plug procedures.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the specific switch, router or storage hardware before deployment. Use factory-cleaned connectors and follow ESD precautions while handling the transceiver. If DDM is required for monitoring, confirm host support and enable the diagnostic interface in the device firmware or management system.
