SFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics 942 196-002-BO 1310 nm LC 10000 m

The BlueOptics 942 196-002-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact optical interface designed for single-mode fiber networks. It supports 1000BASE-LX operation at a wavelength of 1310 nm and provides a maximum optical reach of up to 10,000 m through an LC duplex connector. Housed in a standard SFP form factor and weighing approximately 20 g, this module is intended for use in switches, routers and other network devices that accept standard SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP module implements the 1000BASE-LX specification and conforms to MSA SFP mechanical and electrical standards to ensure interoperability with a wide range of hardware. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation via LC duplex connectors and is manufactured from quality components to provide stable optical performance and long operational life. Optional Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support enables real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host hardware supports these features.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber up to 10 km
• Inter-switch connections and backbone uplinks
• Fiber connectivity in routers, storage systems and network appliances
• Environments requiring LC duplex optical interfaces

How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP slot on a compatible network device following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap and handling instructions. Connect LC fiber patch cords to the module’s LC duplex receptacle, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. If digital diagnostics are required, verify that the host device supports DDM/DOM and enable monitoring through the management interface to read supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit and receive power levels and temperature. Observe standard fiber handling practices to avoid contamination: keep connectors capped when not in use and clean end faces before mating.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and, where possible, perform an optical power budget calculation for links approaching the 10 km range. Ensure firmware and hardware compatibility with your host device and check for DDM support if remote diagnostics are required. Store and handle the module in an ESD-safe environment and avoid exposing it to excessive temperature or humidity outside manufacturer guidelines.
