SFP-transceiver BlueOptics MGB-LX-BO glasvezel 1000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics MGB-LX-BO is a single‑mode LC duplex SFP transceiver compatible with Planet MGB-LX 1000BASE-LX modules. It supports optical transmission at 1310 nm for both transmitter and receiver, provides a maximum data rate of 1000 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbps line rate) and is intended for links up to 10 km when used with appropriate single‑mode fiber. The compact metal SFP module is designed for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other hardware that support the original Planet MGB-LX SFP and includes support for Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host device exposes that feature.

Advantages

The module follows MSA standards and is manufactured with components from established vendors to ensure compatibility and a long service life. It uses LC duplex connectors for simultaneous transmit/receive over separate fibers and provides electrical and optical diagnostics via the SFF‑8472 DDM/DOM interface. The aluminum housing and proven component selection contribute to an expected MTBF in the range of the stated product lifetime, while full testing against Planet hardware profiles aims to ensure plug‑and‑play operation in devices that support the Planet MGB-LX part.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or other network device that supports the Planet MGB-LX 1000BASE‑LX module. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode patch cord (one fiber for transmit, one for receive) between transceivers. Ensure the host device software/firmware accepts third‑party modules if required. If DDM/DOM monitoring is needed, verify that the host device supports SFF‑8472 and enable monitoring through the device management interface to read voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power values.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode LC duplex fiber patch cords rated for 1310 nm and keep connectors clean to achieve the stated reach and signal quality. Confirm compatibility with your specific Planet hardware model and, where possible, test the module in your system before large deployments.
