SFP-transceiver BlueOptics AT-SPEX/E 1000BASE-X multimode vezel 1310 nm

The BlueOptics AT-SPEX/E is a compact SFP transceiver designed for 1000BASE-X connections over multimode fiber at 1310 nm. Built for hot-pluggable operation in switches, routers and media converters, this module provides a standardized optical interface for gigabit Ethernet links in data centers, campus networks and enterprise environments. The transceiver fits standard SFP slots and supports single-channel multimode fiber links where a 1310 nm wavelength is required.

Advantages

The module offers a small form factor that simplifies installation and maintenance through hot-swapping without powering down network equipment. Compliance with 1000BASE-X optical specifications ensures interoperability with compatible network devices and fiber cabling. Its design focuses on stable optical performance over multimode fiber, reducing link errors and supporting predictable network behavior.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers over multimode fiber
• Connections between media converters and optical network equipment
• Short- to medium-range fiber links within data centers and campus networks
• Enterprise LAN backbone and server access links using multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbps (1000BASE-X)
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Interface: Duplex LC connector
• Operation: Hot-pluggable

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it seats securely. Connect multimode fiber cables with LC duplex connectors to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and confirm speed negotiation to 1000 Mbps. For removal, power down is not required; press the module latch and pull the transceiver straight out, taking standard electrostatic discharge precautions when handling.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber compliant with the chosen link distance and maintain clean LC connector end-faces to minimize insertion loss. Confirm compatibility with the host device's SFP compatibility list where applicable and monitor link parameters in the management interface to ensure stable operation.
