SFP transceiver BlueOptics JW087A-BO 1250 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics JW087A-BO SFP transceiver is a fiber optic module designed for 1000BASE-LX applications with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Built to the SFP MSA form factor with an LC duplex connector, it supports single-mode fiber transmission using 1310 nm wavelength for both transmit and receive channels. The module is compatible with Aruba hardware that officially supports the Aruba JW087A 1000BASE-LX SFP and is RoHS compliant with CE, FCC and ISO9001 certifications. Weighing approximately 20 g and finished in a nickel-colour housing, the transceiver is intended for reliable optical links up to around 10 km when used with appropriate single-mode fiber cabling.

Advantages

The BlueOptics JW087A-BO offers standard-compliant interoperability via the SFP MSA interface and an LC duplex connector, enabling easy hot-plug installation in supported network equipment. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) is available when the host hardware supports it, providing real-time information such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature to simplify monitoring and troubleshooting. Components and manufacturing processes are aligned with industry norms to provide consistent performance and a long operational lifetime for optical links.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber up to approximately 10 km
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP 1000BASE-LX modules
• High-speed applications such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet in campus and metro networks

How to use

Install the BlueOptics JW087A-BO transceiver by inserting it into an SFP port on compatible Aruba or other MSA-compliant network equipment while the device is powered on or off, following the host vendor's hot-swap guidance. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords with correct polarity to the transceiver. Configure the host interface as required for 1000BASE-LX operation in the network equipment's management interface. If DDM/DOM information is needed for diagnostics, enable or query the diagnostics functions from the host system provided that the hardware and firmware support SFF-8472 monitoring.

Recommendations

For stable optical links, use quality single-mode fiber patch cords and maintain correct connector cleanliness and polarity. Verify compatibility with the target hardware's supported transceiver list and ensure the host system firmware permits third-party SFP modules if required. For longer link distances or specific link budgets, perform optical power and loss calculations and, if necessary, use appropriate amplifiers or different transceiver types to meet required margins.
