SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-FXS/LC-30E-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-FXS/LC-30E-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with an operating wavelength of 1310 nm and a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact metal casing and weighing approximately 3 g, the module uses an LC duplex optical connector and requires a 3.3 V input supply. It follows MSA mechanical specifications to ensure interoperability with hardware that supports standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides a compact SFP form factor with a silver metal housing that supports stable optical transmission over single-mode fiber. With a 1310 nm transmitter and receiver pair it enables optical links over extended distances while remaining lightweight and energy-efficient thanks to the 3.3 V supply requirement. Compliance with MSA standards and the LC duplex interface simplifies integration into switches, routers and other network equipment that accept SFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber Ethernet and telecom links up to moderate distances
• Switches and routers with SFP ports that require 100BASE-LX/155 Mbit/s optical modules
• Server and storage connectivity where an LC duplex single-mode transceiver is needed
• Network equipment replacements or upgrades requiring an SFP module with 1310 nm wavelength

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical fiber type: single-mode

• Housing material: metal
• Weight: approx. 3 g

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-FXS/LC-30E-BO into a compatible SFP slot on the target device while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap instructions. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the transmitter and receiver ports, ensuring correct fiber polarity. Configure the host device to recognize the SFP module and set the appropriate link parameters for 100BASE-LX/155 Mbit/s operation. Verify link status via the host device LEDs or management interface and perform basic optical power checks if available.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and, where applicable, verify that the host hardware firmware supports third-party SFPs. Keep dust caps on the LC connectors when not in use, observe proper ESD precautions when handling the module, and consult the receiving equipment's documentation for supported link distances and DDM/DOM compatibility before deployment.
