SFP transceiver BlueOptics 980-9I270-00IM00 BO05C856S5D LC-Duplex 1000BASE-SX 850nm Multimode 550m DDM 0–70°C

SFP transceiver BlueOptics 980-9I270-00IM00 BO05C856S5D LC-Duplex 1000BASE-SX 850nm Multimode 550m DDM 0–70°C is a small form-factor pluggable module for gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength and supports link distances up to 550 meters depending on fiber type and installation. The module uses an LC-duplex connector and provides digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) for optical power, temperature and other operational parameters. Designed for installation in compatible switches, routers and media converters, it is intended for standard datacenter and enterprise short-reach fiber connections within the specified operating temperature range of 0–70°C.

Advantages

The transceiver provides hot-pluggable compatibility with SFP cages and supports 1000BASE-SX multimode operation at 850 nm, enabling straightforward integration into existing network hardware. Onboard digital diagnostic monitoring gives real-time readouts of optical and device conditions for easier maintenance and troubleshooting. The LC-duplex interface and multimode support allow flexible cabling with common OM fiber types to reach distances typical for access, aggregation and server connectivity. The module’s specified operating temperature range suits standard indoor networking environments.

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer’s instructions for hot-pluggable modules. Connect duplex LC multimode fiber patch cables ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and use the host device’s management interface or the transceiver’s DDM reports to monitor optical power and temperature. Follow fiber handling best practices to avoid bending, contamination or stress on connectors.

Recommendations

Choose multimode fiber of appropriate category (OM2/OM3/OM4) to achieve the desired reach; verify attenuation and channel loss budgets during installation. Use dust caps when ports are unused, clean connectors before mating, and monitor DDM values after deployment to detect signal degradation or environmental issues early.
