Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics ONS-SI-100-FX=-BO 155 Mbit/s SFP 1310 nm

The BlueOptics ONS-SI-100-FX=-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 100BASE-FX applications with a maximum data rate of 155 Mbit/s. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm and housed in a compact silver SFP form factor, this RoHS-compliant module provides optical send and receive capabilities over multimode fiber using an LC duplex connector and conforms to MSA SFP mechanical and electrical specifications.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP module offers standardized interoperability with MSA-compliant SFP ports, low weight for easy handling, and support for established networking protocols including Ethernet and SDH/SONET up to 155 Mbit/s. The 1310 nm transmitter/receiver pair enables duplex optical transmission over multimode fiber and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper links. The module is manufactured and tested to meet industrial quality standards and RoHS compliance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers with SFP slots for 100BASE-FX links
• Extending multimode fiber links up to typical multimode distances (up to approximately 2 km depending on fiber type and link budget)
• Network equipment in data centers, campus networks, and telecom edge installations
• Applications requiring optical isolation from EMI and stable optical transmission

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Cable type: multimode fiber (operational distance depends on fiber grade and link budget)
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Standards: MSA-compliant SFP form factor; RoHS compliant

How to use

Insert the module into an available SFP slot of the networking device until it clicks into place, ensuring the host device supports 100BASE-FX SFP transceivers and the required firmware or software acceptance. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Power on the host equipment and verify link status using the device’s LED indicators or management interface. If available, use the host system’s diagnostics to read module status and confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Verify hardware compatibility and any vendor restrictions before deployment. Use appropriate multimode fiber grade and quality patch cords to achieve the expected reach; follow polarity conventions and keep fiber connectors clean to maintain signal integrity. If digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) are supported by the host, monitor optical power and temperature to aid maintenance and troubleshooting.
