SFP transceiver module BlueOptics S-SFP-GE-LH40-SM1550-BO 40000 m

The BlueOptics S-SFP-GE-LH40-SM1550-BO is a single-mode SFP transceiver module designed for long-distance optical data transmission up to 40,000 m. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 40 g, the module implements 1000BASE-EX specifications with LC duplex connectivity and operates at 1550 nm for both transmitter and receiver channels. It is compliant with MSA form-factor and supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware provides that capability.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP offers long-reach performance for single-mode fiber links, stable optical signalling at 1550 nm and an aluminium enclosure that combines light weight with mechanical protection. The module is produced to industry MSA standards and is compatible with major networking platforms that support 1000BASE-EX SFP transceivers. Integrated digital diagnostics (where supported by the host) provides real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot of your switch, router or storage device following the vendor’s hot-plug instructions. Use an LC duplex single-mode patch cord to connect to the remote transceiver; ensure correct Tx/Rx orientation. Verify link status in the host device management interface and, where available, enable or query DDM/DOM to monitor optical and electrical parameters. Before deployment, confirm that the target hardware officially supports 1000BASE-EX SFP modules and that any vendor compatibility checks are addressed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach transmission, keep connectors clean and use dust caps when modules are not connected. Validate DDM readings after installation to confirm expected transmit/receive power levels and check the host device compatibility list if you encounter link issues.
