SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 740-021487-01-BO Fiber optic LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics 740-021487-01-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. Featuring an LC duplex connector and an aluminium housing, this compact SFP module weighs approximately 20 g and implements the SFP interface standard for straightforward integration into compatible network equipment. It is intended for multimode fiber links and supports optical send and receive functionality at the specified wavelength characteristics for 100BASE-FX applications.

Advantages

The aluminium enclosure provides a lightweight and durable form factor while maintaining industry-standard mechanical compatibility with SFP ports. The LC connector supports duplex fiber connections for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. Weight and form factor make the module suitable for dense installations where space and port density are important. Compliance with SFP interface conventions ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts standard SFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• Replacement or upgrade of SFP ports in switches and routers that accept standard SFP modules
• Short to medium distance multimode fiber links in enterprise LANs
• Integration in storage and network devices requiring an LC duplex fiber connection

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Optical medium: multimode fiber (designed for 100BASE-FX applications)

How to use

Insert the module into an empty SFP port on the powered-off or hot‑swap capable device according to the device manufacturer's instructions. Securely connect an LC duplex fiber patch cable to the transceiver, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. Verify link status via the host device management interface and monitor traffic and diagnostics if supported by the equipment. If required, consult the network device documentation for any vendor-specific enablement or compatibility settings.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and proper fiber management to preserve signal quality. Confirm that your network hardware supports 100BASE-FX SFP modules and, where available, enable digital diagnostics/DOM in the host device to monitor supply voltage, optical power and temperature for early detection of link issues.
