Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics TRX100037-BO SFP LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics TRX100037-BO SFP LC Aluminium is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode optical links. It follows MSA SFP form-factor standards, features an LC duplex connector and an aluminium housing, and weighs approximately 20 g. The module supports 100BASE-LX operation with 1310 nm transmit and receive wavelengths and is intended for high-speed data transmission over single-mode fiber at distances up to around 20 km.

Advantages

The module provides MSA-compliant electrical and mechanical compatibility with a wide range of network equipment that accepts SFP form-factor transceivers. The aluminium body offers a compact, lightweight form factor suitable for dense installations. Single-mode 1310 nm optics enable reliable long-reach connections with immunity to electromagnetic interference, and the design supports digital diagnostics for monitoring operating parameters where host hardware exposes DDM/DOM functions.

Suitable for

• Long-reach Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Network upgrades and maintenance where MSA SFP compatibility is required
• Environments requiring low electromagnetic interference susceptibility

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical mode: Single-mode fiber
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (TX and RX)
• Supported protocol: 100BASE-LX Ethernet (up to ~155 Mbps application compatibility)
• Maximum reach: approximately 20 km (single-mode, depending on fiber and link budget)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: ~0.02 kg
• DDM/DOM: supported where host hardware provides the interface

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on the network device until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. Verify link status on the host device and enable any required interface configuration for 100BASE-LX operation. If digital diagnostics are needed, enable or query the DDM/DOM interface through the host management system to read parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical power and temperature, provided the host supports these functions.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode LC patch cords and maintain clean fiber endfaces to ensure optimal performance. Confirm host equipment compatibility with third-party SFP modules and verify that the device supports DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and operate the module within the manufacturer-recommended temperature and power ranges specified by the host system.
