SFP transceiver BlueOptics 10056-BO Fiber optic 1000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 10056-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1 Gbit/s network links. Manufactured by BlueOptics, this compact module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s and is housed in a stainless steel enclosure for physical durability and effective shielding. It is compatible with Extreme Networks equipment and intended for use in switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP form-factor modules.

Advantages

The stainless steel casing offers robust mechanical protection and helps maintain signal integrity by reducing electromagnetic interference. As an SFP-module rated for 1000 Mbit/s, it provides a standard, hot-pluggable interface for flexible deployment and easy replacement without powering down network devices. Compatibility with Extreme Networks devices ensures predictable operation in supported environments.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or expanding Gigabit Ethernet ports on switches and routers
• Connecting fiber optic links between data center racks or network closets
• Use with media converters or transponder equipment requiring SFP 1 Gbit/s modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s)
• Housing material / colour: stainless steel
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 10056-BO into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the module's connector, observing required fiber type and connector standard for the link. After insertion, verify link status and speed through the network device management interface and ensure that any required port configuration aligns with the device's compatibility guidelines.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver by its edges and avoid touching optical interfaces. Keep dust caps on unused connectors and store modules in anti-static packaging when not installed. Confirm compatibility with the target device and use suitable fiber cabling and transceivers matched in wavelength and connector type to achieve reliable Gigabit links.
