SFP transceiver BlueOptics MLC2-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm Silver

The BlueOptics MLC2-BO SFP transceiver is a compact fiber optic module designed for 155 Mbit/s data links with an operating wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a silver SFP form factor, the module provides LC Duplex connectivity and follows MSA mechanical standards to ensure interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment. It is built for continuous operation with a high MTBF and complies with CE, FCC and RoHS regulations.

Advantages

The transceiver supports simultaneous optical transmit and receive channels via LC Duplex connections and is designed for multimode fiber use at 1310 nm. Components are selected from established manufacturers to provide consistent optical performance and long service life. Tested for compatibility with common hardware platforms, the module offers digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature when supported by the host device. Its compact SFP size simplifies installation and replacement in switches, routers and other rack-mounted equipment.

Suitable for

• 100BASE-FX fiber links between switches and routers
• Optical uplinks in industrial and enterprise networks
• Connections to storage systems and measurement devices
• Applications requiring EMI-immune optical transmission and remote diagnostics

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on the host device following the device manufacturer’s hot-plugging recommendations. Connect LC Duplex fiber patch cables to the module ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. If the host device supports DDM/DOM, enable or read diagnostics via the management interface to monitor operating parameters such as optical power and temperature. Use compatible firmware or platform settings where required to ensure full interoperability.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors are clean and inspected before connection, use appropriate multimode patch cables for 1310 nm operation, and verify host device compatibility and DDM support to access diagnostic data. Follow ESD handling procedures when installing or removing the transceiver.
