SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-NE-BO Fiber optic LC connector

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-SX-NE-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1 Gbps optical links using multimode fiber. It features an LC duplex connector, an aluminium housing and a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. The module supports 1000Base-SX transmission with 850 nm wavelength for both transmitter and receiver and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compatible SFP form-factor standards to ensure broad interoperability with switches, routers and other networking hardware that accept 1000Base-SX SFPs. Its aluminium housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation in a compact 20 g package. Optical transmission over multimode fiber reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and enables predictable short-range high-speed links. The transceiver also supports digital diagnostics monitoring where supported by host hardware, allowing real-time readout of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP-1G-SX-NE-BO module into an SFP slot on compatible networking equipment while the host device follows manufacturer guidelines for hot-plugging or powered installation. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host interface for 1000Base-SX operation if required by the equipment. If the host supports DDM/DOM, monitor diagnostic values via the device management interface to assess link health and optical performance.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and, where applicable, patch panels to achieve optimal reach and signal integrity. Verify that the target hardware officially supports third-party MSA-compatible SFP modules and enable DDM/DOM in the management interface to access diagnostic readings for maintenance and troubleshooting.
