SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-O3D-M-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-O3D-M-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for reliable point-to-point optical links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 1310 nm, uses an SFP interface with LC duplex connectivity and is housed in a metal enclosure. The module requires a 3.3 V supply, is compact and lightweight (approximately 3 g), and is built to meet MSA form-factor standards for insertion into compatible network equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver provides stable optical transmission over multi-mode fiber using matched 1310 nm transmitter and receiver components. The metal housing increases mechanical durability and thermal stability while the SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with switches, routers and other network devices that accept MSA-compliant modules. The unit supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware exposes this feature, enabling real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature, transmit power and receive power for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• 100BASE-FX Ethernet fiber links up to typical multimode distances (up to about 2 km depending on fiber type and installation)
• Network equipment upgrades or replacements in switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP modules
• Point-to-point optical connections in campus and enterprise networks requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA-compliant)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Product colour: Silver; metal housing
• Weight: approx. 0.003 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot on a compatible network device while the device is powered down or following the manufacturer’s hot-swap instructions. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s ports, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. Ensure the host device supports the required protocol (100BASE-FX/155 Mbit/s) and, if needed, enable or verify DDM/DOM via the device management interface to read diagnostic parameters. After physical installation, verify link status and data transmission using the network device’s status indicators and management tools.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber and appropriate LC duplex patch cords matched to the intended reach; check the host device compatibility list before deployment. For reliable operation, avoid bending the fiber beyond manufacturer-specified radii, secure the module in its cage correctly, and monitor DDM values for early detection of signal degradation.
