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

The BlueOptics LC-SM-SFP-BO Aluminium 20g is a single-mode fiber optic transceiver module with an SFP interface and LC duplex connector. Designed for 1000BASE-LX compatible links, it supports optical transmission over single-mode fiber and comes in a lightweight aluminium housing that aids heat dissipation and mechanical durability. The module is intended for insertion into SFP-compatible ports on switches, routers and other networking equipment and is supplied in a compact 20 g form factor.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides physical robustness and improved heat dissipation while the SFP form factor ensures wide compatibility with networking hardware that accepts standard SFP modules. The LC connector supports duplex fibre connections for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The module’s single-mode optical design is suitable for longer-distance links compared with multimode transceivers.

How to use

Power down or follow your equipment vendor’s hot-swap instructions, then insert the BlueOptics LC-SM-SFP-BO into an available SFP port until it clicks into place. Connect single-mode LC fiber patch cords to the module’s LC duplex connector, observing transmit/receive orientation as required by your link. Ensure the connected equipment is configured for the corresponding 1000BASE-LX interface and verify link status and speed in the host device’s management interface. If the host supports hot-plug SFP modules, the transceiver can be installed without shutting down the device.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords and, where applicable, patch panels designed for LC duplex terminations. Verify that the networking equipment firmware or driver supports third-party SFP modules and enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host if real-time optical parameters are required and supported by the system.
