SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 808-38214-BO 1310 nm 40000 m

The BlueOptics 808-38214-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact optical module designed for single-mode fiber links. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, this SFP supports data transmission distances up to 40,000 m and uses an LC duplex fibre connector. The module follows the SFP form factor and MSA guidelines for mechanical and electrical interoperability and is suitable for integration into switches, routers and other network devices that accept standard SFP modules. The transceiver is lightweight (approx. 20 g) and intended for use in 1.25 G applications such as Gigabit Ethernet and similar optical protocols over long-reach single-mode fiber.

Advantages

The module provides long-distance single-mode transmission at 1310 nm in a small SFP package, enabling the extension of network links without major infrastructure changes. Its LC duplex connector supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels, while compliance with SFP/MSA mechanical and electrical standards ensures broad compatibility with third-party networking equipment. The lightweight and compact design simplifies installation and replacement in populated patch panels or high-density I/O bays.

Suitable for

• Long-reach Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Inter-switch or switch-to-router connections up to 40 km
• Storage networking and fibre channel over compatible 1.25 G links
• Upgrading existing fiber infrastructure with standard SFP ports

How to use

Ensure the host device supports standard SFP transceivers and, where required, the Digital Diagnostics/DOM feature. Insert the BlueOptics SFP into an empty SFP slot until it seats and the retention latch engages. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cables to the transceiver with correct orientation for transmit and receive. Configure the host interface according to the networking equipment vendor guidelines (link speed, duplex and protocol settings) and verify the optical link status through the device management interface or indicator LEDs. If the device supports digital diagnostics, use the management interface to monitor key parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode LC patch cords and maintain clean fiber endfaces to achieve optimal link performance. Verify compatibility with the specific switch or router model and, if necessary, enable or check vendor settings that allow third-party SFP modules. For extended service life, operate the transceiver within the equipment manufacturer's stated ambient temperature and handling guidelines.
