SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 808-38215-BO 1550 nm 70000 m

The BlueOptics 808-38215-BO SFP transceiver module operates at 1550 nm and supports single-mode fiber connections with an LC duplex connector. Designed for long-distance optical links, this module provides data transmission up to 70,000 m (70 km) and is compatible with standard SFP ports. The module weighs approximately 20 g and is available in green and grey colors. It follows MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with hardware that supports 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver delivers long-range optical transmission at 1550 nm with an LC connector, suitable for metropolitan and inter-site links. Built according to MSA standards, it offers broad compatibility with switches, routers and other network equipment that accept SFP modules. The transceiver is designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation and supports digital diagnostics for remote monitoring of parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links up to 70 km
• Inter-building or campus backbone connections
• Switches, routers and storage systems with SFP slots
• Network upgrades requiring 1000BASE-ZX compatibility

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 1550 nm
• Maximum transmission distance: 70,000 m (70 km)
• Connector type: LC duplex (single-mode)
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Weight: approximately 20 g
• Supported data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s (1000BASE-ZX class)
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support for real-time monitoring

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or other networking device while the device is powered down or following the manufacturer's hot-plug procedures. Connect an appropriate single-mode LC duplex patch cable between transceivers at each link end. Verify link status in the host device and, if available, enable or read digital diagnostics to confirm transmitter output power, receiver input power, supply voltage and module temperature. Use network management tools to monitor the interface and confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode fiber rated for long-haul transmission and high-quality LC patch cords. Ensure the host device firmware supports 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules and DDM/DOM if you rely on digital diagnostics. Keep dust caps on the transceiver when not connected and follow standard ESD precautions during installation.
