SFP transceiver module BlueOptics AFCT-5710LZ-BC-BO Fiber optic LC connector

The BlueOptics AFCT-5710LZ-BC-BO is a single‑port SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE‑LX applications. It uses an LC duplex connector and is manufactured in an aluminium housing with a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. The module transmits and receives optical signals over single‑mode fiber at 1310 nm and follows industry MSA form‑factor standards for use in compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP module provides reliable gigabit data transmission for distances up to the range supported by 1000BASE‑LX optics over single‑mode fiber. Its aluminium housing offers mechanical robustness while keeping weight low. The module conforms to MSA dimensions and interface type SFP, enabling straightforward replacement or upgrade of compatible transceiver ports in switches, routers and other network devices. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support is available where the host hardware implements the function.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber
• Interconnection between switches, routers and storage systems
• Longer distance optical uplinks within campus and carrier networks
• Environments requiring MSA‑compliant SFP modules with LC connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP form factor
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Supported protocol: 1000BASE‑LX / 1.25 Gbit/s class
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• MSA compliant form factor for hot‑swappable use

How to use

Install the module into an empty SFP port of a compatible switch, router or transceiver slot while the host device is powered down or following the vendor's hot‑swap procedure. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode patch cable with the correct polarity to link to a remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status and negotiate speed on the host device; enable DDM/DOM in the host software if real‑time diagnostic monitoring is required and supported. For optical links, ensure correct fiber type, clean connector endfaces and appropriate cable management to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode LC duplex patch cords designed for 1310 nm applications, clean connectors before mating, and confirm compatibility with the specific network hardware vendor when relying on platform‑level interoperability and DDM/DOM features.
