SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SP-03-IR1-IDFN-BO 155 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SP-03-IR1-IDFN-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode optical links with a nominal data rate of up to 155 Mbit/s. It operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, is powered from a 3.3 V supply and is housed in a compact metal enclosure with a silver finish and a lightweight construction of approximately 2 g. The module uses an LC duplex connector and follows MSA-compatible SFP form-factor conventions, making it suitable for insertion into standard SFP ports of network equipment that support 100BASE-LX and related protocols.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP offers a compact, metal-cased design that combines low weight with mechanical robustness for deployment in switches, routers and storage hardware. Its 1310 nm transmitter and receiver support single-mode fiber transmission over extended distances typical for 100BASE-LX applications, while the standardized SFP interface ensures broad compatibility with MSA-compliant network equipment. The module’s electrical requirement of 3.3 V and its small form factor enable straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing transceivers.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber links using LC duplex connectors
• 100BASE-LX Ethernet connections and similar protocols up to 155 Mbit/s
• Insertion into MSA-compliant SFP ports on switches, routers and storage devices
• Environments requiring a lightweight, metal-cased SFP transceiver

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your network equipment vendor, then insert the SFP module into an empty SFP slot until it seats firmly. Connect an LC duplex single-mode patch cable to the module and to the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel. Ensure the host device supports 100BASE-LX or equivalent protocols at the specified data rate and that any required software/firmware settings allow the transceiver to operate. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to verify the optical connection.

Recommendations

For best performance, use single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for 1310 nm transmission, verify compatibility with your host hardware’s supported transceiver list, and follow ESD handling procedures when installing or removing the module.
