SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 942 195-002-BO 155 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 942 195-002-BO 155 Mbit/s SFP transceiver module is a compact optical interface intended for fiber optic networks and media converters. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s and operates over single-mode fiber with LC (UPC) connector compatibility. The module's small SFP form factor and silver housing make it suitable for high-density installations where space and weight are limited. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, it provides a predictable service life for network links requiring stable optical connectivity.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver combines compact dimensions with lightweight construction, allowing straightforward insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers, or media converters. The LC (UPC) connector ensures reliable optical coupling and low insertion loss. Operating over distances up to 20,000 m, the module supports long-reach links while maintaining a low power footprint. The standardized SFP form factor enables hot-plug installation and easy replacement without specialized tools.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or extending fiber links in telecommunications and enterprise networks
• Integration with media converters and network switches that accept SFP modules
• Long-distance point-to-point optical connections up to 20 km
• Environments requiring lightweight, space-saving optical interfaces

• Reliability: MTBF approximately 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Ensure the device hosting the SFP port is powered down or follows the vendor's hot-plug guidance. Align the LC connector and gently insert the transceiver into the SFP slot until it seats and any retention latch engages. Connect the LC fiber patch cable with proper polarity and ensure connectors are clean before mating. Configure the network equipment for the desired link speed and optical parameters as required by your switch or media converter. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful negotiation and optical signal presence.

Recommendations

Clean fiber connectors with appropriate cleaning tools before installation to minimize insertion loss. Use single-mode LC patch cables rated for the intended distance, and avoid tight bends in the fiber run. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module.
