Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics SF1G-S1-BO 550m Aluminium

The BlueOptics SF1G-S1-BO 550m Aluminium is a 1000Base-SX SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for multimode fiber links up to 550 meters. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module provides duplex LC connectivity and supports optical transmission and reception at 850 nm. The module follows MSA form-factor specifications and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts SFP 1000Base-SX transceivers.

Advantages

The module offers compatibility with standard SFP ports and supports Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to 1.25 Gbit/s. Its aluminium housing provides mechanical protection and thermal conductivity while keeping the unit lightweight. The design supports LC duplex connections for simultaneous transmit and receive operation and is manufactured using components that meet established MSA standards to ensure predictable performance and long operational lifetime.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SF1G-S1-BO into an available SFP port on a compatible switch, router or storage device while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s instructions. Connect the LC duplex fiber patch cable ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host interface as required for 1000Base-SX operation; many devices will auto-negotiate the link. Verify link status and, if supported, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) via the host system to monitor parameters such as voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords certified for the intended distance to achieve optimal signal quality. Confirm that the target hardware supports MSA-compliant 1000Base-SX SFP modules and, if needed, test interoperability before large-scale deployment. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, ensure the host supports the diagnostic function to access real-time optical parameters.
