SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 100FX-SFP-OM-BO 155 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 100FX-SFP-OM-BO is an SFP transceiver module for fiber optic networks that supports Fast Ethernet at a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s. Designed in a compact SFP form factor and finished in silver, the module provides a lightweight solution for integrating fiber links into switches, routers, media converters and other network devices that accept SFP ports. The transceiver uses an LC fiber connector and is suitable for multimode installations with a maximum link distance of up to 2000 m. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a weight of approximately 20 g, the module is built for reliable, space-efficient deployment in rack-mounted or compact network equipment.

Advantages

The module combines a small SFP footprint with support for Fast Ethernet speeds and an LC fiber interface, enabling straightforward upgrades from copper to fiber where SFP slots are available. Its silver housing and light weight facilitate installation in dense chassis environments without significant added load. A long mean time between failures increases operational uptime and reduces the need for frequent replacements.

Suitable for

• Extending Fast Ethernet links over multimode fiber up to 2000 m
• Integrating fiber uplinks in switches, routers or media converters with SFP ports
• Replacing or adding SFP-based fiber interfaces in small to medium enterprise networks
• Use in rack-mounted equipment where compact transceivers are required

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down or following the manufacturer's hot-swap procedure. Connect an LC-terminated multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver's LC connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device for Fast Ethernet operation on the SFP port if required, then verify link status and performance through the host device's management interface. Follow standard ESD precautions and ensure fiber ends are clean before connection to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber cabling consistent with the transceiver's supported distance and connector type, keep fiber connectors clean, and confirm compatibility with the host device's SFP specifications before installation to ensure reliable operation.
