Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics E1MG-SX-A-BO SFP LC connector

The BlueOptics E1MG-SX-A-BO SFP LC connector fiber optic transceiver module is a compact 1000Base-SX SFP designed for multimode fiber links. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP provides hot-pluggable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity via an LC duplex interface and follows MSA mechanical standards. It integrates transmitter and receiver components operating at 850 nm for short to medium-range optical links and is suitable for integration into network switches, routers and other compatible hardware that accepts SFP modules.

Advantages

The module offers standardized SFP form-factor compatibility and an LC connector for duplex multimode fiber connections, enabling straightforward installation and replacement in supported networking equipment. The aluminium casing contributes to mechanical durability and efficient heat dissipation while the low weight makes handling and mounting simple. The transceiver supports optical transmission at Gigabit speeds and is engineered to meet MSA guidelines to ensure interoperability with a wide range of network devices.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber (short-range uplinks and distribution)
• Integration into switches, routers and storage networking equipment that accept SFP modules
• Replacement or spare transceivers for network maintenance and upgrades

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Optical fiber type: multimode fiber
• Typical application: 1000Base-SX (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Power down or follow your equipment vendor’s hot-swap instructions before inserting the SFP into an available SFP slot, or insert it while the system is running if the host supports hot-pluggable modules. Securely mate LC patch cords to the module’s LC duplex connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Configure the host device according to its interface settings for 1000Base-SX operation and verify link status through the switch or router management interface. When removing the module, disconnect the fiber patch cords and extract the SFP following the vendor’s instructions.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and ensure clean connector endfaces to maintain link performance. Verify that the host hardware supports SFP transceivers and the 1000Base-SX protocol; enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring only if supported by the host to access real-time operating parameters. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid exposing the optical ports to dust or direct sunlight.
