Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics M-SFP-BIDI TYPE B LX/LC EEC-BO

The BlueOptics M-SFP-BIDI TYPE B LX/LC EEC-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It uses an SFP form factor with an LC fiber connector and supports bidirectional transmission on a single fiber pair using different wavelengths for transmit and receive. The module is built in a lightweight aluminium housing (approx. 20 g) and is intended for integration into network switches, routers and other compatible hardware that accept standard MSA SFP modules.

Advantages

This transceiver offers long-reach single-mode connectivity up to 20,000 m and supports 1.25 Gbps data rates suitable for Gigabit and legacy high-speed applications. The LC connector and SFP form factor ensure wide compatibility with existing fiber infrastructure and common network devices. The aluminium casing provides mechanical durability while keeping the module lightweight for easy handling and installation.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics M-SFP-BIDI into an SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down or following the host’s hot-swap procedures. Connect an appropriate single-mode LC patch cable to the module. Because this is a bidirectional (BIDI) LX/LC transceiver, ensure the remote transceiver uses the complementary type (Type A vs Type B pairing) or the correct wavelength pairing for transmit/receive alignment. After insertion and cable connection, verify link status on the host device and, if available, enable or read digital diagnostic monitoring via the host to check operating parameters.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords and verify that the remote end uses the matching BIDI type and wavelength configuration. Confirm that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM if you require real-time diagnostics. Avoid exposing the LC connector to dust and keep protective caps on until installation to preserve signal quality.
