SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1000-MM85-X5-BO Fiber optic 550 m

The BlueOptics SFP-1000-MM85-X5-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX Ethernet and similar optical applications. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this SFP module supports multimode fiber links with a maximum transfer distance of up to 550 metres using an LC duplex connector and 850 nm optical wavelength for transmit and receive. It is intended for use in network equipment that accepts standard SFP modules and follows MSA form-factor specifications.

Advantages

The module provides gigabit data transmission over multimode fiber with a compact SFP form factor suitable for switches, routers and storage equipment. Its aluminium casing offers a durable, lightweight solution and the module is compatible with LC duplex fiber patching. The SFP-1000-MM85-X5-BO supports standard optical protocols for reliable signal integrity and can be used where electromagnetic immunity and low-latency optical links are required.

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap instructions for your host device, insert the BlueOptics SFP-1000-MM85-X5-BO into an available SFP slot until it latches, and connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module ports, observing proper transmit/receive alignment. Ensure the host device firmware or operating system recognises third-party SFP modules and that any required link settings (speed, duplex, optical interface) are configured. After insertion and cabling, verify link status and diagnostics through the host management interface.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber of appropriate grade (for example OM1/OM2/OM3 depending on planned margin) and high-quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified 550 m reach. Confirm that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required, and follow manufacturer guidance for hot-plug handling and ESD protection to maintain module reliability.
