Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics FN-TRAN-LX-BO SFP 10000 m

The BlueOptics FN-TRAN-LX-BO SFP 10000 m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for long-distance single-mode links. Built in an aluminum housing and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module supports optical transmission over distances up to 10,000 meters. It follows MSA-compliant SFP form factors and provides a 1000BASE-LX-compatible interface with LC duplex connectivity for simultaneous transmit and receive on separate fibers.

Advantages

The module offers a compact, lightweight design with a durable aluminium casing suitable for rack and field installations. It provides long-reach capability up to 10 km over single-mode fiber and supports standardized SFP connectivity for easy hot-plug deployment. Built to industry MSA guidelines, the transceiver is compatible with devices that accept 1000BASE-LX SFP modules and supports stable optical transmission with low susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links up to 10 km over single-mode fiber
• Interconnecting routers, switches and storage systems with LC duplex fiber
• Network extensions between buildings or across campus infrastructure
• Environments requiring lightweight, compact SFP modules for hot-pluggable ports

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Transmission distance: up to 10,000 m (10 km) over single-mode fiber
• Nominal data rate: compatible with 1000BASE-LX (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength: 1310 nm optical transmitter and receiver
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg (20 g)

How to use

Install the SFP module into an available SFP slot on a switch, router or storage interface while the host device is powered according to the vendor guidelines for hot-plug transceivers. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords making sure transmit and receive fibers are correctly crossed at each end. Verify link status via the host device and, if supported, enable and check digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) to monitor parameters such as optical power and temperature. Follow your network equipment manufacturer’s instructions for compatibility and firmware requirements.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and, where possible, route fibers through patch panels to protect connectors. Ensure the host hardware supports 1000BASE-LX SFP modules and, if DDM/DOM monitoring is required, confirm that the device firmware exposes diagnostic data. Keep the transceiver dust caps on when not in use and handle the module by the housing to avoid contaminating connectors.
