SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1000-MM85-X5I-BO Fiber optic 550m

The BlueOptics SFP-1000-MM85-X5I-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbps optical links over multimode fiber with a maximum reach of 550 meters. The module features an aluminium housing, LC duplex connector and conforms to MSA form-factor expectations for hot-pluggable SFP ports. It is supplied as a single unit and weighs approximately 20 grams, making it suitable for integration into switches, routers and other network devices that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver supports 1000Base-SX multimode operation with 850 nm transmit and receive wavelengths, enabling reliable gigabit communication across campus and data center multimode fiber runs. The aluminium housing provides mechanical protection and thermal dissipation while keeping the module lightweight. Compatibility with MSA SFP interfaces and the LC duplex connector ensures easy replacement or expansion of existing SFP-equipped network equipment. The module also offers support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware enables that feature, allowing remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, received power and temperature.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-1000-MM85-X5I-BO into a compatible SFP port on your network device while the device is powered according to the vendor's instructions for hot-pluggable modules. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cord between this module and the corresponding transceiver or patch panel, ensuring proper polarity. Verify link status on the host device and consult the device's management interface to confirm negotiated speed and, if available, DDM/DOM values. For best results, use OM3/OM4 or the multimode fiber type recommended by your network design to achieve the intended reach.

Recommendations

Ensure that the host equipment officially supports SFP modules and that any vendor compatibility requirements are observed. Use quality multimode fiber patch cords and maintain clean LC connector endfaces to prevent signal loss. If DDM/DOM data is required for monitoring, confirm the host supports the diagnostic interface and enable it in device settings.
