SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics NPA0016-LJ11-BO 155 Mbit/s glasvezel

The BlueOptics NPA0016-LJ11-BO is an SFP form-factor fiber optic transceiver designed for 155 Mbit/s serial data links. It provides 100BASE-LX compatible transmission and reception at 1310 nm via LC duplex connectors and conforms to MSA mechanical specifications for hot-pluggable use in standard SFP slots. Housed in a compact, silver enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, the module targets reliable single-mode fiber connections in networking equipment where an SFP interface is required.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a robust mean time between failures (MTBF) of around 3,000,000 hours, enabling long-term operation with reduced downtime. Compliance with MSA standards and the LC duplex optical interface ensures broad interoperability with common switches, routers and other network appliances. The 1310 nm transmitter and receiver pair supports 100BASE-LX optical links over single-mode fiber and is suitable for straightforward replacement and upgrade of compatible SFP ports.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the module into an available SFP slot while the host device is powered off or following the device manufacturer’s hot-plug procedure. Ensure the LC duplex fiber cable is properly terminated and connected to the transmit and receive ports according to the equipment’s labeling. Configure the host interface for the appropriate link speed and duplex settings if required. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful negotiation and optical link establishment.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber cabling with appropriate attenuation and distance planning for 100BASE-LX links. Verify compatibility with the target hardware platform and firmware versions before deployment, and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver to avoid damage. Keep dust caps on unused fiber ports and clean connectors before insertion to maintain signal quality.
