SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 943 049-001-BO Fiber optic 120000 m

The BlueOptics 943 049-001-BO SFP transceiver module is a single‑mode fiber optic 1000BASE‑ZX interface designed for long‑distance Ethernet and high‑speed optical links up to 120000 m. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module provides a compact, hot‑pluggable solution with LC duplex connector for transmit and receive at 1550 nm. The module follows MSA form‑factor standards and supports common network protocols including Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s, making it suitable for backbone and long‑haul fiber connections.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers long‑reach performance on single‑mode fiber while maintaining a small, durable aluminium housing and low weight. Designed to meet MSA compatibility, it integrates digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) capabilities for real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature when supported by host hardware. Components are selected to industry quality standards to provide extended operational lifetime and high mean time between failures.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance Ethernet links (120 km single‑mode)
• Backbone and campus interconnects between switches and routers
• Fiber channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications
• Data center uplinks, storage system connections and WAN links

Key specifications

• Supports digital diagnostics monitoring (MSA SFF‑8472) when host supports DDM/DOM

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on supported switches, routers or other network devices while the device is powered according to the host manufacturer’s instructions. Connect an appropriate single‑mode LC duplex patch cable between transceivers or to a patch panel, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status and, if available, read digital diagnostics via the host management interface to check optical power levels, temperature and supply parameters. Use compatible hardware that supports 1000BASE‑ZX to ensure full functionality.

Recommendations

For optimal long‑haul performance, use high‑quality single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, keep connectors clean, and verify that both endpoints support 1000BASE‑ZX and DDM/DOM if diagnostics are required. Follow the host device vendor’s guidance for supported transceivers to guarantee compatibility.
