Glasvezel-SFP-transceiver BlueOptics 1783-SFP1GSX-BO 550 m aluminium

The BlueOptics 1783-SFP1GSX-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for 1000Base-SX applications over multimode fiber. The module provides optical transmit and receive operation at 850 nm and supports link distances up to 550 metres. It uses a standardized SFP form factor with an LC duplex connector and is housed in an aluminium enclosure weighing approximately 20 g, suitable for installation in switches, routers and other network devices that accept SFP transceivers.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP transceiver follows MSA-compliant SFP specifications and is compatible with systems that support the 1000Base-SX optics profile. The aluminium housing provides mechanical durability and thermal dissipation while the multimode 850 nm optical interface supports gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET protocols at up to 1.25 Gbit/s. The module is tested for interoperability and includes features commonly implemented for reliable operation in managed network environments.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber up to 550 m
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems with SFP ports
• High-speed applications such as Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Maximum data rate: up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Maximum link distance (multimode fiber): 550 metres
• Connector: LC duplex
• Material / colour: aluminium housing
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP port on a compatible network device until it clicks into place, then attach an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable with correct polarity. Ensure the host device supports 1000Base-SX optics and, where applicable, enable or verify link settings in the device management interface. For systems that support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM), confirm that the host exposes DDM information if real-time monitoring of optical parameters is required.

Recommendations

For best performance, use certified multimode fiber and maintain proper fibre cleanliness. Verify compatibility with the target hardware and follow manufacturer guidance for hot-plugging SFP modules. When monitoring link health, use DDM/DOM-capable hosts to read supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature.
