SFP transceiver BlueOptics SLC20-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm Silver

The BlueOptics SLC20-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm Silver is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode optical links. It supports data rates up to 155 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a metal casing and weighing approximately 3 g, the module is powered by a 3.3 V supply and fits standard SFP ports with an LC duplex connector. The transceiver is compatible with equipment that supports the Westermo SLC20 100BASE-LX form factor and follows MSA interface standards.

Advantages

The module provides reliable single-mode optical transmission with simultaneous transmit and receive channels via an LC duplex interface. Its metal housing offers mechanical durability and thermal stability, while a low weight and standard SFP form factor enable straightforward installation and replacement in compatible switches, routers and other network appliances. The transceiver implements component selection and manufacturing processes that align with MSA specifications to ensure interoperability and consistent performance in supported platforms.

Suitable for

• Industrial and enterprise switches and routers with SFP ports
• Optical uplinks between network devices over single-mode fiber
• Longer-distance Ethernet links up to the specified optical reach
• Environments requiring 1310 nm single-mode transmission

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable) with LC duplex connector
• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Power supply: 3.3 V input

• Weight: approximately 0.003 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap instructions. Connect single-mode LC duplex patch cords to the transceiver, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device according to its documentation to recognize the link speed and optical interface. Verify link status and signal levels through the host device management interface or monitoring tools.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords and adhere to the host device's compatibility list for SFP modules. Confirm that any digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) functions are supported by the equipment to access real-time optical parameters. Follow standard ESD precautions during handling and ensure connectors and fiber ends are clean to maintain signal quality.
