SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GE-S-BO Fiber optic 550 m Aluminium

The BlueOptics SFP-GE-S-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000Base-SX multimode links. It supports optical transmission up to 550 m using an LC Duplex connector and operates with an 850 nm transmitter and receiver. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module follows MSA specifications for hot-pluggable SFP form factor and is suitable for use in switches, routers and other network devices that support standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The module offers compatibility with equipment that accepts 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers and provides optical data rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s for Ethernet and related protocols. Its aluminium housing gives mechanical durability while keeping the unit lightweight. The transceiver supports LC Duplex multimode fiber connections for simultaneous transmit and receive channels and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability when supported by the host device, allowing remote readout of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical power and temperature.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GE-S-BO module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other networking equipment while the device is powered according to the host vendor’s guidelines for hot-plugging. Connect LC Duplex multimode patch cords to the module’s transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct polarity. Configure the host port for 1000Base-SX (auto-negotiation or fixed speed as required) and verify link status in the device management interface. If DDM/DOM information is required, enable or query the diagnostic interface on the host to read parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

For optimal performance use quality multimode fiber and properly rated LC patch cords; ensure polarity and connector cleanliness to maintain signal integrity. Confirm that the host device supports 1000Base-SX transceivers and DDM if diagnostic monitoring is needed. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s installation and handling guidelines to avoid electrostatic discharge and to preserve module lifetime.
