SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 3000-055-BO 155 Mbit/s Fiber optic

The BlueOptics 3000-055-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic interface designed for network media converters and compatible equipment. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s and a maximum link distance up to 20,000 m, this module uses an LC (UPC) fiber connector and comes in a silver housing. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, it is intended to provide steady optical connectivity in point-to-point links and fiber backbone segments where synchronous or low-rate data transmission is required.

Advantages

The module's small SFP form factor allows easy hot-plug installation into compatible ports, conserving rack space while enabling flexible network layout. The LC (UPC) connector ensures precise fiber alignment and low return loss for stable optical signal transmission. A rated maximum distance of 20 km and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours indicate suitability for long-reach, low-maintenance deployments. The silver metal housing provides mechanical protection and EMI shielding for reliable operation in standard networking environments.

Suitable for

• Fiber links between media converters and switches with SFP ports
• Long-distance point-to-point connections up to 20 km
• Telecom and industrial networks requiring 155 Mbit/s optical interfaces
• Network equipment replacement or compatibility bridging using LC (UPC) fiber

How to use

Power down or follow the hot-swap procedure recommended by your equipment vendor and insert the BlueOptics SFP module into an SFP slot until it seats firmly. Connect the LC (UPC) fiber patch cable to the module's connector, ensuring correct polarity and clean connectors. Configure the network equipment for the required 155 Mbit/s link settings if manual configuration is necessary. Monitor link and optical indicators on the host device to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

To maintain signal quality and prevent damage, use clean LC (UPC) connectors and dust caps when the module is not in use. Avoid bending fiber beyond its minimum bend radius and verify compatibility with the host device's SFP transceiver specifications before deployment.
