SFP transceiver module BlueOptics EX-SFP-1FE-LX40K-BO 155 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics EX-SFP-1FE-LX40K-BO is an SFP transceiver module engineered for fiber optic network links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s and a maximum optical reach of 40,000 m, this compact module operates from a 3.3 V input and is supplied in a silver housing with an LC (UPC) fiber connector. With a rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight design of approximately 20 g, the module is intended for reliable point-to-point and long-distance fiber connections in network media converter and switch applications.

Advantages

The module offers consistent low-speed optical transmission suitable for legacy and specialized networks requiring serial or low-bandwidth links. Its extended reach capability up to 40 km enables long-distance connectivity without intermediate amplification. The LC (UPC) connector provides a standardized fiber interface for compatible single-mode installations, while the compact SFP form factor allows easy hot-plug deployment in SFP slots of switches, routers or media converters. The silver metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and thermal dissipation.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the vendor's guidelines for hot-plug support. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with LC (UPC) connectors to the transceiver; ensure correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify that the host interface is configured for the supported line rate (155 Mbit/s) and monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful establishment of the optical link. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and use dust caps on the optical port when the transceiver is not in use.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber cable of appropriate attenuation for links approaching the maximum distance and verify optical power budget with the host equipment. Ensure compatibility with the host device firmware and SFP slot specifications before installation and store the module in a dry, temperature-controlled environment when not installed.
