BlueOptics 808-38203-BO SFP LC hliníkový 20 g optický transceiver modul

The BlueOptics 808-38203-BO SFP LC Aluminium 20g is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode optical links. It implements the SFP interface and uses an LC duplex connector in an aluminium housing, providing a compact solution for 1.25 Gbps optical transmission over long distances. The module is lightweight (20 g) and follows MSA-compatible mechanical and electrical form factors for straightforward installation in compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver supports long-reach single-mode transmission with a 1310 nm transmitter and receiver pair, enabling data rates up to 1.25 Gbps and optical links suitable for extended distances. The aluminium housing offers mechanical robustness while keeping the module light. Compliance with MSA dimensions and typical digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support simplifies integration, monitoring and maintenance in managed network environments. The module is tested for compatibility with common switch and router platforms that accept SFP LC transceivers.

Suitable for

• Long-reach single-mode Ethernet links up to typical 40 km ranges
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Upgrading or replacing SFP LC transceivers in enterprise and carrier networks

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm (TX and RX)
• Data rate: up to 1.25 Gbps (1000BASE-LH/1G applications)
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approximately 20 g

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into the SFP port of a compatible switch, router or storage device with the module latch aligned. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords with LC duplex connectors, ensuring proper transmit-to-receive pairing. If applicable, enable or verify digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support in the host device to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, optical output and input power, and temperature in real time. Follow the host equipment vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and firmware compatibility when replacing or adding transceivers.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords and, for optimal link quality, route fibers through appropriate patch panels or directly between transceivers. Verify the host device compatibility and enable DDM/DOM if required for remote monitoring. Handle the module with care, keep protective caps on connectors when not in use, and avoid touching fibre endfaces to maintain performance and service life.
