SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 808-38213-BO 1310 nm 40000 m

The BlueOptics 808-38213-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact optical networking component designed for single-mode fiber links. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, this SFP module supports data transmission distances up to 40,000 m and uses an LC duplex fiber connector in a standard SFP form factor. The module is intended for integration into switches, routers, storage systems and similar network devices that accept SFP optics and require reliable 1 Gbit-class optical links over long-reach single-mode fiber.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver combines a standard SFP footprint with a long-reach single-mode optical interface, enabling straightforward hot-pluggable upgrades to existing network ports. The LC duplex connector supports simultaneous send and receive channels, and the module’s single-mode 1310 nm design is suitable for low-attenuation long-distance links. The module’s compact size and SFP compatibility make it usable across many vendor platforms that adhere to MSA SFP specifications.

Suitable for

• Long-reach Ethernet links over single-mode fiber (up to 40 km)
• Inter-switch connections in campus and metropolitan networks
• Fiber uplinks for access switches and edge routers
• Storage area network (SAN) and server uplink applications that accept SFP optics

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 808-38213-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or other network device while the host port is powered according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC sockets, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status using the host device indicators or management interface. For devices that support digital diagnostics, enable or query DOM/DDM features to monitor parameters such as optical power and temperature where supported by the host.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and quality-rated patch cords for distances approaching the module’s maximum range. Confirm host compatibility with SFP MSA optics and, if required, enable digital diagnostic monitoring via the network device to assist with troubleshooting and link verification. Follow manufacturer guidelines for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection when handling and inserting the transceiver.
