Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics AGM733F-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics AGM733F-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g is a single-mode fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-ZX applications. It uses an SFP form factor with an LC duplex connector and supports optical transmission and reception at 1550 nm. The module is compact and lightweight (approximately 20 g) and follows MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications, making it compatible with a wide range of network equipment that accepts standard SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver offers long-reach single-mode operation up to typical 80 km distances for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications, while remaining compatible with equipment that supports the original 1000BASE-ZX SFP. Built to MSA standards, the module incorporates proven laser and IC components for stable optical performance and is factory-tested for functionality. It also supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) according to SFF-8472, enabling remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Long-reach single-mode Ethernet links (1000BASE-ZX)
• Interconnections between switches, routers and storage systems over single-mode fiber
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET optical links
• Environments requiring DDM/DOM-enabled transceiver monitoring

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical wavelength: 1550 nm (Tx and Rx)
• Supported data rate: up to 1.25 Gbit/s (1 Gb Ethernet/Fibre Channel)
• Typical reach: up to 80 km over single-mode fiber
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Housing colour/finish: aluminium
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported (SFF-8472)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AGM733F-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or storage device until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and, if supported by the host device, use the DDM/DOM interface to monitor optical parameters such as transmit and receive power, supply voltage and temperature. Remove the module by releasing the latch and pulling it straight out to avoid damaging the connector.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance links, use high-quality single-mode patch cords and, where applicable, compatible patch panels. Ensure the host hardware supports 1000BASE-ZX and DDM/DOM functions for full feature access. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and keep protective dust caps on unused connectors to prevent contamination.
