SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP SX-BO 850nm 550m

The BlueOptics SFP SX-BO 850nm 550m is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for gigabit optical links over multimode fiber. Operating at a nominal wavelength of 850 nm, it supports link distances up to 550 meters and uses an LC duplex connector. The module follows MSA-compliant SFP form factor and supports 1000Base-SX applications for data centers, enterprise networks, and other network equipment that accept standard SFP SX modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP SX-BO module provides reliable multimode fiber connectivity with support for 1.25 Gbps signaling and a transmission range up to 550 m at 850 nm. It is manufactured to MSA standards and is compatible with a wide range of networking devices that accept standard 1000Base-SX SFP transceivers. The module includes support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware implements the feature, allowing monitoring of key optical and electrical parameters for maintenance and troubleshooting.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP SX-BO module into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or storage device while the host equipment is powered according to the manufacturer's instructions. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cord between the module and the corresponding transceiver on the remote device, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. If the host supports DDM/DOM, monitor link parameters via the device management interface to verify optical power, supply voltage and temperature. Follow the network equipment vendor's guidelines for hot-plugging, firmware compatibility and any required configuration to enable the port.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and follow recommended fiber installation practices (proper bending radius, cleanliness of connectors and correct polarity) to achieve the specified 550 m reach and stable performance. Verify DDM/DOM compatibility with the host device if online diagnostics are required, and keep firmware up to date for best interoperability.
