SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-LX40-M-BO glasvezel 40000 m

The BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-LX40-M-BO is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for long-distance Ethernet and high-speed optical applications. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this module implements an LC Duplex interface and supports optical transmission over distances up to 40,000 m (40 km). It follows MSA SFP form-factor conventions and is intended for use in switches, routers and other network platforms that accept standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides a compact, lightweight solution for long-reach links while maintaining mechanical durability thanks to its aluminium housing. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels via an LC Duplex connector and is compatible with single-mode fiber. The transceiver is designed to meet MSA interoperability requirements and includes support for digital diagnostics to monitor operating parameters when the host hardware supports DDM/DOM.

Suitable for

• Long-distance backbone links in campus and metropolitan networks
• Connections between data center racks or buildings across single-mode fiber
• Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Replacement or expansion of SFP ports in switches, routers and storage systems

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (LC Duplex)
• Optical mode: Single-mode fiber
• Wavelength (typical): 1310 nm transmit and receive
• Supported data rate: up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Maximum link distance: up to 40,000 m (40 km)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP module
• Digital diagnostics: supports DDM/DOM if host hardware provides support

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port on compatible network equipment with the module keyed properly to the slot. Use LC Duplex single-mode patch cords for both transmit and receive fibers, observing correct fiber polarity. Verify that the connected devices are configured for the intended data rate and protocols (Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE or SDH/SONET) and that the host supports DDM/DOM if digital diagnostics are required. Secure any patch panels or couplers and perform link validation with standard network testing tools.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the transceiver with single-mode LC duplex cables and install it in hardware that officially supports standard SFP modules. Allow for proper fiber routing and strain relief, avoid bending fibers beyond manufacturer bend-radius limits, and verify that DDM/DOM monitoring functions are enabled in the host system if remote diagnostics are desired.
