SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BX-U-BO Fiber optic 20000 m

The BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BX-U-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gbps data links over distances up to 20,000 m. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, this compact module uses an LC simplex connector and employs a bi-directional wavelength scheme with separate transmit and receive wavelengths suitable for long-reach point-to-point fiber connections. The module follows MSA-compliant SFP form-factor conventions and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP pluggable transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver provides long-distance single-mode transmission with a compact, lightweight aluminium body that supports reliable optical links and easy hot-plug installation. Designed to meet industry MSA standards, it is compatible with a wide range of SFP-capable switches, routers and storage devices and offers digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when the host hardware implements that function. Component selection aims to provide stable optical performance and extended service life.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot of a compatible network device while the device is powered on or following the host’s hot-plug guidance. Connect a single-mode LC simplex patch cable to the module, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive fibers according to your link design. Verify link status and, if available, enable or read DDM/DOM parameters from the host to confirm optical power, temperature and voltage values. Where necessary, configure the host interface for 1000BASE operation and test the link with standard network diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use factory-tested single-mode patch cords and, where possible, patch panels to minimize connector wear. Ensure host equipment supports the required SFP type and DDM/DOM if diagnostics are needed. Maintain clean connectors and follow standard fiber handling practices to preserve link quality and maximize module lifetime.
