Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 569023-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 569023-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for gigabit optical connections in networking equipment. It implements an SFP interface with an LC duplex connector and is housed in an aluminium enclosure weighing approximately 20 g. The module supports short-range multimode fiber links and conforms to MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) mechanical and electrical specifications for SFP transceivers, enabling interoperability with systems that accept standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The aluminium casing offers mechanical robustness while keeping the module lightweight. An SFP interface and LC connector provide broad compatibility with switches, routers and other network devices that accept SFP transceivers. The design targets reliable optical signal transmission on multimode fiber and supports standard 1 Gbit/s applications over typical short-range distances. The compact form factor and standard interface simplify installation and replacement in existing racks and network hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber Ethernet links up to 1 Gbit/s
• Installation in switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• Field replacement or expansion of SFP-based optical uplinks

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Casing material: aluminium
• Typical weight: 20 g
• Optical medium: multimode fiber
• Nominal data rate: 1 Gbit/s class (1000Base-SX compatible)
• Wavelength domain: 850 nm class for multimode operation

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or other network device while the host hardware is powered according to the host vendor’s guidelines. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module’s LC connector, ensuring transmit and receive channels are correctly mated. Verify link status via the host device interface and, where supported, use the device management system to monitor optical link health. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions for hot-plugging to avoid port or module damage.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and maintain clean LC connector endfaces to preserve optical performance. Confirm host compatibility and software support for third-party SFP modules before deployment. When available, enable and monitor digital diagnostic features in the host system to track real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature.
