SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-GB-BO Fiber optic 550 m

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-GB-BO is a small form-factor fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1 Gbps optical links over multimode fiber. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 grams, the module provides transmission and reception at 850 nm and supports a maximum link distance of up to 550 meters using LC duplex connectors and 1000Base-SX signaling. The module is compatible with MSA-compliant SFP ports and intended for integration into switches, routers and other network devices that accept standard SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP form factor with a durable aluminium enclosure for stable mechanical and thermal performance. Support for 1000Base-SX over multimode fiber enables up to 550 m reach while maintaining low weight for easy handling and installation. The module includes optical transmit and receive functions at 850 nm and fits LC duplex connections, making it suitable for many standard fiber network topologies. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatibility depends on host hardware support and can provide real-time optical and electrical parameters when available.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or media converter with the module’s release latch accessible. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cord, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive orientation. Configure the host port for 1000Base-SX or autonegotiation as required by the network device. If the host equipment supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query the interface to read real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature. Follow the device vendor’s instructions for hot-plugging and interface configuration to avoid link interruptions.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode patch cords for best reach and signal margin, keep connector endfaces clean, and verify compatibility with the host device’s supported SFP transceiver list. Ensure link settings and fiber polarity are correct before deployment.
