Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 88Y6836-BO SFP LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics 88Y6836-BO SFP LC Aluminium is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX applications. It features an aluminium housing, an LC duplex connector and a light-weight construction (approx. 20 g). The module supports multimode fiber transmission at 850 nm and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts standard SFP form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP module follows MSA-compatible SFP specifications, offering a compact SFP interface for straightforward hot-pluggable installation. The aluminium casing provides mechanical protection and thermal dissipation while the LC connector enables duplex optical links. The module’s multimode 850 nm optical characteristics make it suitable for short-range gigabit connections in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Switch and router uplinks that accept SFP LC transceivers
• Storage and network equipment requiring hot-pluggable fibre modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength: 850 nm (multimode optics)
• Supported protocol: 1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or storage device while the host port is powered down or following the device vendor’s hot-swap procedure. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC ports, observing proper transmit-to-receive alignment. Ensure the network device recognizes the SFP module and that link LEDs or management interfaces indicate an active gigabit connection. If available, enable or verify digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support in the host to read real-time optical parameters.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords and structured cabling rated for short-range gigabit transmission to achieve optimal link performance. Verify device compatibility with SFP modules of this type and follow manufacturer guidance for handling fibre optics, ESD precautions and connector cleaning to maintain reliable operation.
