Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics NPA0016-SS11-BO 155 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics NPA0016-SS11-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 100BASE-FX optical links with a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact silver SFP form factor, this module uses LC duplex connectivity and is suitable for multimode fiber links at short to moderate distances. It is CE, RoHS and FCC compliant and weighs approximately 20 g, making it a lightweight, standards-compatible option for network equipment that accepts SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module follows MSA SFP form-factor conventions for broad compatibility with network hardware that supports compatible 100BASE-FX SFPs. Its optical transmit and receive functions enable simultaneous bidirectional communication over LC duplex multimode fiber. Built and tested to industry compatibility expectations, the transceiver is intended to provide stable data transmission with low susceptibility to electromagnetic interference thanks to fiber-optic signaling. The compact silver module is lightweight and designed for straightforward hot-swap installation in supported switches, routers and other networking devices.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics NPA0016-SS11-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on your network device until it latches. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly oriented. Configure the host device for the appropriate 100BASE-FX interface settings if required by the platform. The module is designed for hot-swap operation, so it can be inserted or removed while the host device is powered on where the host supports hot-pluggable SFP modules. Verify link status and allow time for the transceiver to negotiate connection parameters with the remote endpoint.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality multimode LC duplex patch cords and confirm that both endpoints support 100BASE-FX operation at the intended distance. Check that the host hardware supports the specific SFP type or a compatible equivalent, and ensure firmware or driver requirements are met to enable any diagnostic functions the platform provides.
