Glasvezel SFP-transceiver BlueOptics R9D16A-BO 550m aluminium

The BlueOptics R9D16A-BO is a single‑form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000Base‑SX multimode optical links up to 550 meters. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this module supports LC duplex connections and operates with an 850 nm transmitter and receiver pair. It is suitable for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other network devices that accept SFP modules and is built to MSA mechanical and electrical standards for hot‑swappable installation.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides mechanical durability while keeping weight low for easy handling and installation. Support for 1000Base‑SX over multimode fiber enables gigabit Ethernet and related protocols with a practical reach of up to 550 m. Compliance with industry MSA standards and use of proven optical components ensures broad interoperability and predictable signal performance. The compact SFP form factor allows flexible deployment and replacement without powering down compatible equipment.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the target device following the manufacturer's hot‑swap procedure. Use an LC‑duplex multimode patch cable matched to the transceiver's fiber type to connect to the remote module or patch panel. Verify device port settings to enable 1000Base‑SX operation if necessary and confirm link status via the host device management interface. When removing the module, power down the affected port or follow the host device's recommended removal steps to avoid signal disruption.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high‑quality multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, maintain proper fiber cleanliness at connectors, and ensure the host platform supports 1000Base‑SX SFP modules and any required diagnostic features. Check that Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) is supported by your equipment if you require real‑time monitoring of optical parameters.
