SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BX40-D1550LC-BO Fiber optic LC

The BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-BX40-D1550LC-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for single-mode links up to 40,000 m. It features an LC simplex connector, supports 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet signaling and fits standard SFP ports for use in switches, routers and other network equipment. The module weighs approximately 20 g and is finished in aluminium colour, providing a compact and low-weight solution for long-reach fiber connections.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver supports asymmetric wavelength operation with a 1550 nm receiver and a 1310 nm transmitter for long-distance single-mode transmission. It complies with common MSA SFP form-factor expectations and is suitable for high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications at up to 1.25 Gbit/s. The module’s design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and enables stable optical links over long distances.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down or according to the host device manufacturer’s hot-plug guidance. Connect the LC simplex fiber patch cable ensuring proper polarity and single-mode fiber continuity. Verify link status through the host device management interface and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to check parameters such as supply voltage, laser current, output power, received power and temperature.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the target hardware and software environment before deployment. Use single-mode fiber and high-quality LC patch cords or patch panels to achieve the specified 40 km reach. If remote monitoring is required, ensure the host supports DDM/DOM to access real-time diagnostics for easier maintenance.
