SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-1GE-SX-BO glasvezel 850m

The BlueOptics SFP-1GE-SX-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber links with a maximum transfer distance of up to 850 meters. Housed in an aluminium body and weighing approximately 20 grams, this SFP module supports the SFP interface and is intended for 1 Gbps optical Ethernet applications using an 850 nm transmitter and receiver with LC Duplex connectivity following MSA form-factor guidelines.

Advantages

This transceiver provides 1 Gbps data transmission over multimode fiber with a practical range suitable for campus and data center interconnects. The aluminium housing offers mechanical stability and thermal dissipation while the compact SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable installations in SFP-compatible switches, routers and storage systems. The module is compatible with standard 1000Base-SX multimode deployments and supports optical duplex communication via LC connectors.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-1GE-SX-BO into any compatible SFP port while the host device is powered on or follow your equipment vendor's hot-swap instructions. Connect LC Duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host interface according to the switch, router or storage system documentation to enable the 1 Gbps optical link; verify link status and operational parameters via the device management interface. If supported by the host, enable and read Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time optical and electrical metrics.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal margin at longer short-range distances and route fiber with minimal bends to preserve signal quality. Confirm compatibility with the target hardware and firmware, and ensure LC patch cords are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related signal loss.
