Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 45W2817-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 45W2817-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode links. It uses an SFP interface with an LC duplex connector and comes in an aluminium housing with a lightweight 20 g construction. The module is intended for use in compatible network equipment that accepts standard SFP transceivers and supports optical transmission protocols up to gigabit class rates.

Advantages

The compact aluminium housing provides mechanical protection and thermal dissipation while keeping the module weight low. Conformance to SFP interface form factor and LC connector type ensures plug-and-play compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers and network appliances that accept MSA-compliant SFP modules. The single-mode fibre design and optical transmission capability enable long-distance links with immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or replacing SFP slots in switches and routers that support standard SFP modules
• Establishing single-mode fiber links in enterprise and carrier networks
• Integrating optical connections between storage systems and network devices

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg (20 g)
• Optical medium: single-mode fiber

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into an available SFP slot of compatible network equipment until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module and to the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and protocol settings on the host device according to its documentation. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or access the monitoring functions through the device management interface to view real-time parameters where supported.

Recommendations

Handle the module by the housing, avoid touching the fibre end face and use dust caps when the connector is not in use. Match fibre type and patch cord quality to achieve optimal link distance and performance. Confirm SFP compatibility with the target hardware and software versions before installation.
