SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1G-SFP-SX-OM Fiber optic LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics 1G-SFP-SX-OM is a 1 Gigabit SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for multimode fiber links. It features an LC duplex connector, an 850 nm transmitter and receiver for 1000Base-SX applications, and a durable aluminium housing with a lightweight form factor (approximately 20 g). The module follows industry MSA mechanical and electrical specifications and is suitable for integration into network switches, routers and storage devices that support standard SFP 1000Base-SX transceivers.

Advantages

The module provides reliable short-range optical connectivity with simultaneous transmit and receive channels via LC duplex. Its aluminium housing combines mechanical protection with low weight for easy handling and installation. BlueOptics transceivers are produced to MSA-compatible standards to ensure interoperability with major networking platforms and to support common Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet use cases. The SFP transceiver accepts multimode fiber and supports typical 1000Base-SX link distances and diagnostic monitoring when supported by host hardware.

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (1000Base-SX)
• Wavelength: 850 nm transmitter and receiver
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures of your network device according to the vendor instructions, then insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot with the LC connector facing outward until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords ensuring correct transmit-to-receive polarity. If the host device supports it, enable or verify link settings for 1000Base-SX and check interface status in the device management console. To remove, release the transceiver latch and pull the module straight out, then protect the LC connector ends with dust caps when not connected.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords and fibre patch panels rated for 850 nm to achieve the specified link distances. Verify host compatibility and, if required, enable DDM/DOM support in the network device to monitor optical parameters. Store and handle the transceiver in a dry, ESD-safe environment and avoid touching the optical interfaces to preserve signal quality.
