SFP transceiver CBO pre Alcatel-Lucent SFP-1G-LX-20KM 1G 20 km

Compact SFP transceiver by BlueOptics, compatible with Alcatel-Lucent SFP-1G-LX-20KM. This small form-factor pluggable module supports a 1 Gbps data rate and an optical reach of up to 20 km over single-mode fiber. It is designed for installation in switches, routers and other optical network equipment to extend links across medium distances while offering plug-and-play operation and hot-swappable convenience.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP interface for straightforward integration with compatible network devices and supports a single Gigabit Ethernet channel for reliable data transport. Its single-mode optical design enables low-loss transmission across longer distances compared to multimode alternatives. The hot-swappable, plug-and-play nature minimizes downtime during installation or replacement and allows network upgrades without powering down equipment.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Inter-building connections within campus networks up to 20 km
• Fiber extensions for access, distribution and aggregation layers
• Replacement of compatible SFP transceivers in optical equipment

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Optical reach: up to 20 km over single-mode fiber
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Wavelength: typical long‑reach wavelength suited for single-mode transmission
• Hot-swappable: yes

How to use

Power down of the host device is not required; insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or optical device until it seats securely. Connect a single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. After insertion, verify link status and module recognition in the device management interface or LED indicators. For removal, follow standard hot-swap procedures recommended by the host device manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber with appropriate attenuation and testing to ensure signal integrity. Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when handling the transceiver and avoid excessive bending of the fiber cable. Check device compatibility lists for confirmed interoperability with Alcatel-Lucent equipment and perform a link test after installation.
