SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-FXM-LCI-AE-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-FXM-LCI-AE-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 155 Mbit/s data transfer over multimode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Housed in a durable metal casing and weighing approximately 3 grams, this SFP module supports standard SFP interface form factor and is suitable for insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and other network equipment that accept MSA-compliant 100BASE-FX transceivers. The module features LC duplex connectivity and is designed to operate from a 3.3 V supply.

Advantages

The module follows MSA standards and offers compatibility with equipment that supports 100BASE-FX SFP transceivers. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and reliable thermal behavior, while the 1310 nm transmitter and receiver arrangement enables bidirectional optical links using separate fibers. The compact, lightweight design and standard SFP interface simplify installation and replacement in existing network hardware.

Suitable for

• Ethernet links up to 155 Mbit/s over multimode fiber
• Interconnection of switches and routers within buildings or across short campus links
• Integration into systems that require LC duplex optical interfaces

• Maximum data transfer rate: 155 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical medium: multimode fiber (per 100BASE-FX application guidance)
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal casing
• Weight: approximately 0.003 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-FXM-LCI-AE-BO by inserting the transceiver firmly into an empty SFP port on compatible network equipment until it latches. Connect LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct polarity. Power the host device with the standard supply and allow the interface to negotiate link parameters according to the device firmware. If supported by the host, enable or monitor digital diagnostics/DOM features to check supply voltage, laser bias, output and received optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality LC duplex multimode patch cords and keep fiber connectors clean to ensure optimal signal quality. Verify that the host device supports 100BASE-FX SFP modules and, when available, enable DDM/DOM monitoring to facilitate remote diagnostics. Observe ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and store unused modules with dust caps in a clean environment.
