SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-FE-SX-MM1310-A-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-FE-SX-MM1310-A-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 100BASE-FX and similar optical links with a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm and housed in a metal casing, the module provides reliable transmission over multimode fiber to distances up to 2,000 m. The transceiver uses a standard SFP form factor with LC duplex connectivity and requires a 3.3 V input supply. With a low weight of approximately 3 g, it suits dense installations and is compatible with MSA-compliant SFP slots on network switches, routers and other communication equipment.

Advantages

The module combines a metal housing for mechanical robustness with an industry-standard SFP footprint for easy hot-plug installation. It supports optical transmission over multimode fiber at 1310 nm, enabling up to 2 km reach and stable data rates to 155 Mbit/s. The small size and low weight simplify deployment in stacked or space-constrained systems. The transceiver is manufactured to MSA guidelines to ensure interoperability with equipment that supports equivalent 100BASE-FX SFP modules.

How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP-compatible module slot on the network device while the host port is powered according to the device vendor's instructions. Use LC duplex fiber patch cords and ensure transmit (TX) and receive (RX) fibers are correctly connected between endpoints. Configure the host device port for the expected link speed and check optical link status. Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and keep protective caps on the fiber ports when not connected to avoid contamination.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, match the transceiver to multimode fiber rated for 1310 nm operation and use high-quality LC duplex patch cords. Verify that the target equipment supports MSA-compliant 100BASE-FX SFP modules and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, output/input power and temperature. Store the module in a clean, dry environment and avoid touching optical endfaces to maintain link quality.
