SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SLC40-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SLC40-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber-optic interface designed for single-mode links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 155 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module is housed in a metal casing, has an SFP interface and a lightweight construction of approximately 3 g, making it suitable for integration into compatible networking equipment that accepts SFP modules.

Advantages

The module offers a standard SFP form factor and single-mode optical transmission at 1310 nm, providing a reliable physical layer for Ethernet or similar protocols up to 155 Mbit/s. Its metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and shielding, while the low weight simplifies handling and installation. The module is designed to comply with common MSA SFP dimensions and can be used as a compatible transceiver in devices that accept the SFP specification.

Suitable for

• 100BASE-LH / single-mode optical links up to typical long-reach distances
• Switches, routers and other networking devices with SFP ports
• Fiber links that require 1310 nm wavelength transceivers
• Environments where a compact, metal-cased SFP module is needed

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Power supply: 3.3 V input voltage
• Module casing: metal
• Weight: 0.003 kg (3 g)
• Product colour: silver

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot of the network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot‑swap guidelines. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable to the module's optical interface, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports the SFP transceiver and the expected 1310 nm single-mode link parameters. Configure the network device according to the required protocol and speed (up to 155 Mbit/s) and verify link status through the host device's management interface.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber cabling rated for the intended link distance and verify that the host hardware supports the SFP module and, if required, digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM). Avoid excessive bending or stress on fiber cables and ensure end-face cleanliness for optimal optical performance.
