SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 740-021340-BO LC 20000m

The BlueOptics 740-021340-BO LC 20000m is an SFP transceiver module for single-mode fiber links, supplied in a compact SFP form factor and weighing approximately 20 grams. It features an LC simplex connector and is designed to support high-speed optical data transmission for networking equipment that accepts SFP modules. The module supports a nominal maximum transfer distance of 20,000 meters and is finished in blue and grey housing.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact, industry-standard SFP interface for easy hot-plug installation in compatible network devices. Its lightweight design and LC connector provide a straightforward optical connection for point-to-point single-mode links. The module is produced to meet common MSA conventions for mechanical and electrical compatibility, enabling interoperability with a wide range of hardware platforms that accept SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or extending single-mode fiber links in switches and routers that accept SFP modules
• Point-to-point optical connections where LC simplex termination is required
• Network environments requiring compact transceivers for installations with limited space

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Connector: LC simplex
• Maximum transfer distance: 20,000 meters (20 km) over single-mode fiber
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Product colour: blue and grey

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible network device while the device is powered according to the host vendor's instructions for hot-pluggable modules. Connect an LC single-mode fiber patch cord to the LC simplex receptacle on the module and route the other end to the corresponding transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status and link speed through the host device interface and ensure optical loss and connector cleanliness are within acceptable limits for reliable operation.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber patch cords with appropriate LC terminations and maintain connectors clean to reduce insertion loss. Confirm the host device supports the specific transceiver type and any digital diagnostics features before deployment. Store unused modules in protective packaging to avoid contamination or mechanical damage.
