Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 81Y1618-BO SFP 100m

The BlueOptics 81Y1618-BO SFP 100m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed data transfer over distances up to 100 meters. Housed in aluminium and weighing approximately 20 grams, this single-pack SFP module implements the SFP interface type and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts small form-factor pluggable transceivers. The module supports standard 1000BASE applications and follows MSA-compatible form factor and electrical characteristics for straightforward integration.

Advantages

The aluminium housing offers durable physical protection while keeping weight low, making the module suitable for dense rack installations. Compliance with SFP/MSA form factor and electrical specifications supports broad compatibility with network switches, routers and storage hardware that accept third-party SFP modules. The module is designed for reliable optical link performance over multimode or compatible cabling up to 100 meters and includes features for stable signal transmission and long operational lifetime.

Suitable for

• Uplink and downlink connections between switches and routers within a rack or across a server room
• Connections to storage systems and SAN equipment that accept SFP transceivers
• Replacement or spare transceivers for network hardware supporting 1000BASE SFP modules
• Short-distance fiber links in enterprise and data center environments up to 100 m

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 100 meters
• Product material/finish: aluminium housing
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Data rate class: compatible with 1000BASE (1 Gbps) applications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 81Y1618-BO SFP module into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or storage device while the host hardware is powered down or according to the vendor's hot-swap guidance. Connect the appropriate fiber or copper patch cable (as required by the specific network setup) and verify link activity via the host device interface. Ensure the connected hardware supports the SFP module type and the selected transmission parameters. If the device supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or query it through the host management interface to monitor link status and operating parameters.

Recommendations

Use certified, compatible patch cords and follow the equipment vendor's guidance for transceiver compatibility. Verify that the host device firmware or driver settings permit third-party SFP modules if required. For reliable operation, maintain clean connector endfaces, avoid sharp cable bends, and operate within the environmental ranges specified by the host equipment.
