SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 10-1957-02-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics 10-1957-02-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber-optic interface designed for 100BASE-FX applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s over multimode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm, and uses an LC duplex connector following MSA standards. The module has a metal housing, a weight of approximately 20 g, and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. It complies with RoHS, FCC and CE regulations and is intended for reliable point-to-point optical links in network equipment that supports SFP 100BASE-FX modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics transceiver offers compatibility with common SFP slots and is manufactured to MSA mechanical and electrical specifications for plug-and-play installation. Its metal housing contributes to mechanical robustness and heat dissipation while the specified MTBF indicates a long operational life. Compliance with international safety and environmental standards simplifies deployment in commercial and industrial environments. The LC duplex connector and support for simultaneous transmit and receive on separate fibers enable straightforward integration into duplex fiber links.

Suitable for

• 100BASE-FX Ethernet links over multimode fiber up to typical short-range distances
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• Network upgrades where a 155 Mbit/s optical interface is required
• Environments requiring RoHS, FCC and CE-compliant transceivers

How to use

Install the module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or other network device while the host device is powered down or following the host manufacturer's hot-swap guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct fiber polarity. Configure the host device for a 100BASE-FX optical interface if required by the operating system or firmware. Monitor the link status through the host device; if available and supported by the platform, use Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) to view real-time module parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, confirm device compatibility with the original 100BASE-FX SFP specification, and ensure proper fiber polarity and connector cleanliness. Verify DDM/DOM support on the host device before relying on diagnostic readings, and follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver.
