SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-OC3-LR1 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-OC3-LR1 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for single-mode long-distance links. Supporting data transfer rates up to 155 Mbit/s and operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, this module provides basic synchronous transport for legacy OC-3/STM-1 connections and similar serial fibre applications. Its small form-factor pluggable design fits standard SFP ports and allows hot-swap installation in compatible switches, routers and optical equipment.

Advantages

The module combines a standard SFP interface with stable optical performance at 1310 nm for reliable long-range transmission. Its support for 155 Mbit/s ensures compatibility with OC-3/STM-1 and comparable serial links. The SFP form factor simplifies installation and replacement without powering down equipment, while the single-wavelength operation reduces complexity in point-to-point fiber runs.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links
• OC-3/STM-1 and 155 Mbit/s serial transmission applications
• Edge and core networking equipment with SFP ports
• Point-to-point optical connections between buildings or sites

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-OC3-LR1 into a compatible SFP socket on your switch, router or optical transceiver shelf while the device is powered according to the equipment manual. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with matching connectors (for example LC) to the module's optical port, making sure fibers are clean and properly secured. Configure the connected equipment to operate at the appropriate 155 Mbit/s serial interface settings if required by your system. Monitor link status via the host device to confirm a stable connection.

Recommendations

Use clean-room practices for fiber handling, keep connector endfaces free of dust, and verify compatibility with the host equipment's SFP compatibility list. For long-distance links verify optical budget and attenuation across the path; consider testing with an OTDR or power meter during installation.
