SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics 942 196-001-BO 1310 nm LC 10000 m

The BlueOptics 942 196-001-BO SFP transceiver module is designed for single-mode fiber links using a 1310 nm wavelength. It supports 1000BASE-LX class transmission and provides optical connectivity over distances up to 10,000 m via an LC duplex connector. The module is compact and lightweight (approximately 20 g) and is intended for use in standard SFP ports that follow MSA specifications.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP module follows MSA-compatible electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure interoperability with a wide range of network hardware. It enables full-duplex optical links using separate transmit and receive channels on single-mode fiber and is suitable for common high-speed applications such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet. Built with components that meet industrial quality standards, the transceiver is intended for stable long-term operation and provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for adding optical uplinks to switches, routers and storage systems.

Suitable for

• Establishing gigabit single-mode Ethernet links up to 10 km
• Interconnecting switches, routers and storage hardware with LC fiber
• Replacing or expanding SFP ports in MSA-compliant networking equipment

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Maximum reach: 10,000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Supported protocols: 1000BASE-LX (Gigabit Ethernet), compatible with common Fibre Channel over Ethernet usage
• Product colour: Blue, Grey
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an empty, compatible SFP slot on the network device while the device is powered according to the vendor's hot-plug guidance. Connect an appropriate single-mode LC duplex patch cable to the module's LC connector, ensuring proper alignment of transmit and receive fibers. Verify link status via the host device indicators or management interface. If digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) are supported by the host, monitor optical parameters such as supply voltage, transmit/receive power and temperature through the device's monitoring tools.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords of appropriate quality and length to achieve the specified 10 km reach; avoid bending the fiber excessively and follow your equipment vendor's compatibility list when deploying third-party SFP modules. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-LX and DDM/DOM if you require real-time diagnostic information.
