Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics FN-TRAN-SX-BO 550m

The BlueOptics FN-TRAN-SX-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range multimode networks. Constructed from aluminium and weighing 20 grams, this compact module provides 1000Base-SX-compatible optical transmission over multimode fiber with a maximum reach of up to 550 meters. It uses an LC duplex connector and operates with an 850 nm transmitter and receiver, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and similar high-speed applications where reliable, interference-immune fiber links are required.

Advantages

The module follows MSA SFP form-factor standards and is compatible with equipment that supports 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers. Its aluminium housing offers a durable, lightweight design while the LC duplex interface enables simultaneous send and receive channels over two fibers. Built with industry-grade optical components, the transceiver provides stable optical power and supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) where the host hardware allows, aiding in remote monitoring and troubleshooting. The compact size and low weight make it easy to install and swap in network switches, routers, storage systems and similar hardware.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or storage device until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cables to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment with the remote transceiver. Configure the host device to recognize and enable the 1000Base-SX interface if required by the equipment firmware. If the system and module support DDM/DOM, monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, received power and temperature via the host management interface for diagnostics.

Recommendations

For optimal link quality, use high-quality multimode fiber (OM2/OM3 or as recommended by your hardware vendor) and appropriate LC duplex patch cords. Verify that the target device officially supports third-party 1000Base-SX SFP modules and enable DDM/DOM in compatible systems to assist with remote diagnostics and preventive maintenance.
