SFP Transceiver BlueOptics SFP-3D-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm Silver

The BlueOptics SFP-3D-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm Silver is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver in a compact metal housing. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 1310 nm, uses an SFP interface and LC duplex connector, and is designed for use in compatible network equipment that accepts SFP modules. The module operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g, offering a lightweight, industry‑standard option for optical links up to long-reach distances when paired with appropriate single‑mode fiber.

Advantages

This transceiver follows MSA SFP form‑factor standards and is designed for compatibility with devices supporting the same SFP profile. The metal casing provides mechanical durability and EMI shielding. The 1310 nm wavelength and single‑mode design enable long‑reach optical transmission, and support for digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) simplifies remote status checks of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature when the host hardware supports these features. The module’s low weight and standard 3.3 V operation make it suitable for a wide range of switches, routers and other network appliances.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Long‑reach single‑mode Ethernet links up to tens of kilometers
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage devices with SFP slots
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications within the supported data rate
• Network segments where EMI immunity and optical isolation are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA compliant)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector: LC duplex
• Power supply: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal, silver colour
• Weight: approximately 0.003 kg
• Supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when host system provides support

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-3D-BO into an available SFP slot on compatible network equipment following the device manufacturer’s hot‑swap guidelines. Connect LC duplex single‑mode patch cords to the module and to the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct Tx/Rx orientation. Verify that the host device is configured for the intended protocol and link speed compatible with 155 Mbit/s operation. If DDM/DOM is required, enable and query the diagnostic functions through the host system’s management interface to monitor optical parameters and temperature.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode LC duplex fiber patch cords and ensure clean connector endfaces to maintain optimal link quality. Confirm hardware compatibility and firmware support for RAD SFP-3D profile devices if replacing an existing module. For long‑term stability, operate the module within the equipment’s specified temperature and voltage ranges and monitor DDM values periodically where available.
