Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 471880A.101-BO SFP 10000 m

The BlueOptics 471880A.101-BO SFP 10000 m is a fiber optic transceiver module for single-mode networks, designed to enable data transmission over distances up to 10,000 meters. Housed in an aluminium case and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module follows MSA form-factor conventions and uses an LC duplex connector for optical interfacing. It supports single-wavelength optical transmission suitable for common 1 Gbit/s applications over long-reach fiber links and is supplied as a single unit in package of 1.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation while maintaining a lightweight form factor suitable for dense switch and router installations. Compatibility with industry-standard SFP slots and LC duplex cabling enables straightforward integration into existing single-mode fiber infrastructures. The module’s design focuses on long-distance optical transmission, delivering stable links over multi-kilometer spans with predictable physical characteristics.

Suitable for

• Long-reach single-mode fiber connections between switches and routers
• Inter-rack and inter-building backbone links in campus or data center environments
• Upgrading interfaces to SFP ports on network equipment that support MSA-compatible transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA form factor)
• Optical connector: LC duplex
• Transmission distance: up to 10,000 m over single-mode fiber
• Housing material and colour: aluminium (aluminium-colour finish)
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Typical data rate class: 1 Gbit/s-class single-wavelength optical transceiver

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your network device while the device is powered down or following the hot-swappable procedure documented by the equipment vendor. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the module’s LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status through the host device and, if available, enable or check any diagnostic or monitoring features supported by the platform. Observe standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and keep dust caps on the optical ports when not in use.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode LC duplex patch cords with proper polishing and end-face condition; route fibers to avoid tight bends; and confirm that the host hardware supports MSA-compatible SFP transceivers. If the platform offers digital diagnostic monitoring, ensure the feature is supported and enabled to access real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature.
