Glasvezel-SFP-transceiver BlueOptics 430-4536-BO 80000 m aluminium

The BlueOptics 430-4536-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for long-distance single-mode links up to 80,000 meters. It implements the 1000BASE-ZX standard with 1550 nm transmit and receive wavelengths and uses an LC duplex connector. The module is housed in an aluminum casing, weighs approximately 20 g, and follows MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) form factor conventions for SFP modules. It supports transmission rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s and is suitable for use in compatible networking equipment that accepts standard SFP 1000BASE-ZX optical transceivers.

Advantages

The aluminum housing provides mechanical robustness and passive heat dissipation while keeping module weight low. Compliance with MSA mechanical and electrical interfaces ensures wide hardware compatibility. The single-mode 1550 nm design enables long-range optical links without electromagnetic interference, and the LC duplex connector supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The module's construction uses components selected for reliable optical performance in Ethernet and similar high-speed applications.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode Ethernet links (1000BASE-ZX)
• Inter-switch or switch-to-router backbone connections
• Fiber connections in campus, metro, or point-to-point links requiring up to 80 km reach
• Integration into networking hardware that accepts standard SFP transceivers with LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an SFP slot on compatible networking equipment until it latches. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s LC ports, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive pairing. Configure the host device for 1000BASE-ZX operation if required by the platform. Verify link status indicators on the equipment and perform a link test to confirm correct optical power levels and connectivity before placing the link into production.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for long-distance links, and follow the host equipment vendor’s guidance for supported transceiver modules. If digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) are required for monitoring, confirm that the installed hardware and firmware expose these functions. Handle the module by its body, protect connector end-faces from contamination, and follow standard ESD precautions during installation to maintain performance and reliability.
