SFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics BTI-SFP-FSM-LC-BO 1000Base-LX LC

The BlueOptics BTI-SFP-FSM-LC-BO 1000Base-LX LC is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber links requiring gigabit Ethernet speeds and extended reach. It uses an LC duplex connector and implements 1000Base-LX signaling to transmit data over longer distances compared with short-range multimode modules. The module is intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers, media converters and other network devices to provide fiber-based uplinks or links between sites.

Advantages

This transceiver offers reliable gigabit performance with low power consumption and a compact footprint that conserves space in equipment racks. Its LC connector provides a standardized interface for single-mode fiber, and 1000Base-LX support enables extended link distance when paired with appropriate optical fiber and link budget. The module is hot-pluggable, allowing replacement or upgrades without powering down the host device.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter until it latches. Connect an LC-terminated single-mode fiber cable to the module’s LC duplex port, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. After installation, verify link status on the host device and confirm speed is negotiated at 1 Gbps. For removal, unlatch and gently extract the module while the host remains powered if hot-plugging is supported.

Recommendations

Use single-mode OS2 fiber for optimal reach with 1000Base-LX and follow manufacturer recommendations for maximum link distance and loss budget. Avoid bending or stressing fiber cables near the connector, keep dust caps on unused ports, and verify compatibility with the host device firmware or vendor interoperability lists before deployment.
