SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-100LX-20-BO glasvezel 20000 m

The BlueOptics SFP-100LX-20-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 100BASE‑LX applications with a reach of up to 20,000 m. Housed in an aluminum casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module follows MSA-compatible SFP form factor and provides LC duplex connectivity for simultaneous transmit and receive using 1310 nm optical wavelength. The module supports standard Ethernet and similar optical protocols and is intended for installation in network switches, routers and other compatible devices that accept SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module combines a compact, lightweight aluminum housing with industry-standard SFP compatibility to allow easy hot‑swappable installation and durable operation. It uses single‑mode optics with LC duplex connector to enable long-distance links up to 20 km while remaining resistant to electromagnetic interference inherent to copper cabling. The design is focused on interoperability and long service life by following MSA specifications.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-100LX-20-BO into an SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or other network device while the host device is powered on or off, following the equipment manufacturer's hot‑swap guidelines. Connect an appropriate single‑mode LC duplex fiber patch cable between transceivers at both ends of the link, ensuring correct Tx/Rx mating. Configure the host interface according to your device's network settings and verify link status and speed. If your hardware supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query the monitoring interface to view real‑time parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fiber cables with low‑loss connectors and keep fiber connectors clean to achieve the advertised 20 km range and consistent signal quality. Verify that the target hardware formally supports third‑party SFP modules and, when available, use DDM/DOM monitoring for proactive maintenance. Avoid mechanical stress on the module and fiber assemblies and follow ESD precautions during handling and installation.
