SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1783-SFP100LX-BO 155 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 1783-SFP100LX-BO 155 Mbit/s is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for point-to-point and access network links. This module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s and uses an LC (UPC) fiber connector. Its small SFP form factor and silver color make it compatible with a wide range of switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP modules. The transceiver is rated with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and supports single-mode fiber links up to 10,000 m for long-distance connections.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a reliable physical interface for fiber connections with industry-standard SFP compatibility, enabling straightforward installation and hot-pluggable replacement. A maximum transfer distance of 10,000 m and support for LC (UPC) connectors ensure compatibility with common single-mode infrastructures. The compact SFP form factor and low weight simplify deployment in dense rack environments while the high MTBF indicates long operational life under normal network conditions.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point fiber connections in access and distribution layers
• Extending network segments over single-mode fiber up to 10 km
• Replacement or upgrade of SFP ports in switches, routers and media converters
• Environments requiring stable low-speed fiber links (up to 155 Mbit/s)

• Fiber optic connector type: LC (UPC)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.03 kg
• Reliability: MTBF 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Power down the host device or, if supported, insert the module while the device is running (hot-pluggable) following the manufacturer's guidelines. Insert the BlueOptics 1783-SFP100LX-BO into an available SFP port until it seats securely, then connect a single-mode LC (UPC) fiber patch cable. Configure the host device's interface settings to match the required link parameters and verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces. For long-distance links, ensure correct fiber type, proper attenuation management and end-to-end testing for signal integrity.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment to avoid contamination of the optical connector. Use dust caps when the module is not connected and follow ESD precautions when handling. Verify compatibility with the host device's supported SFP modules and firmware, and run link diagnostics after installation to confirm expected performance up to 10 km at the specified data rate.
