Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics TN-SFP-LXB41-BO 40000 m

The BlueOptics TN-SFP-LXB41-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for reliable long-distance data transmission of up to 40,000 m. The module uses an LC simplex connector and follows MSA-compatible SFP form factor standards. Housed in aluminium and weighing approximately 20 g, it provides a compact interface for network equipment that accepts SFP modules and supports duplex optical signalling via separate transmit and receive wavelengths.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver offers long reach single‑mode performance in a standard SFP package, ensuring compatibility with many switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP modules. The aluminium housing provides mechanical protection and thermal dissipation while the lightweight design simplifies installation. Designed and tested to MSA guidelines, the module supports established optical protocols and offers digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware supports it for real‑time status checks.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance Ethernet links between buildings or sites
• Interconnects for switches, routers and access equipment with SFP ports
• Fiber backbone and aggregation links in campus or metropolitan networks
• Data center cross‑connects where single‑mode links are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (MSA compatible)
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber
• Connector: LC simplex
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 40,000 m
• Housing material and colour: aluminium (aluminium colour)
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when supported by host

How to use

Insert the TN-SFP-LXB41-BO into an empty SFP slot of compatible network equipment following the device manufacturer’s hot‑swap and electrostatic discharge (ESD) guidelines. Use appropriate single‑mode LC patch cords to connect the transceiver to the remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status and data rate on the host device; enable or check DDM/DOM in the host management interface if real‑time diagnostics are required. If replacing an existing module, power down or follow the equipment vendor’s hot‑swap instructions to avoid link disruption if necessary.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the transceiver with single‑mode fiber cabling and LC connectors of matching specifications, verify compatibility with the host device firmware, and use dust caps when ports are unused. Confirm that the host supports the required wavelengths and DDM/DOM features before deployment.
