Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics MFELX1-BO SFP 10000 m

The BlueOptics MFELX1-BO SFP 10000 m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links up to 10,000 metres. This compact SFP form-factor module supports 100BASE-LX optical transmission with LC duplex fibre connectors and operates with 1310 nm transmit and receive wavelengths. The module weighs approximately 20 g and is available in coral and silver finishes, making it suitable for space-constrained network equipment and varied installation environments.

Advantages

The BlueOptics MFELX1-BO adheres to MSA-compliant SFP dimensions and LC duplex interface standards, enabling broad compatibility with equipment that supports 100BASE-LX SFP transceivers. It includes components specified for long-term reliability and low maintenance, and supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host hardware exposes the feature. The combination of single-mode operation, 1310 nm optical signalling and compact SFP packaging provides a balance of distance, signal stability and convenient hot-pluggable deployment.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics MFELX1-BO into a compatible SFP port while the host device is powered according to the equipment vendor’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the transceiver’s LC ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. If using Digital Diagnostics Monitoring, check that the switch or router supports DDM/DOM to access real-time module parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output power and temperature. Verify link status and configuration on the host device to confirm successful negotiation and operation at 100 Mbit/s.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode LC duplex patch cords of appropriate attenuation and route fibre to avoid sharp bends. Ensure host device firmware supports third-party SFP modules and DDM/DOM if diagnostics are required. When replacing modules, power-cycle the port only if recommended by the equipment vendor; otherwise, use the hot-plug procedure. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid exposure to dust or contamination of fibre endfaces.
