SFP transceiver BlueOptics BO05A13610D 100BASE-LX 1310 nm 10 km

The BlueOptics BO05A13610D is an SFP transceiver module designed for 100BASE-LX Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, this compact SFP form factor transceiver supports data transmission distances up to 10 km and is suitable for installation in standard SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters. The module provides a reliable, low‑profile solution where 100 Mbps fiber connectivity and long‑reach single‑mode links are required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver delivers long‑reach single‑mode performance in a small, hot‑pluggable package compatible with standard SFP interfaces. It supports 100BASE‑LX signaling at 1310 nm, enabling stable 100 Mbps links over distances up to 10 km. The module’s compact design reduces space requirements in network equipment and simplifies field replacement or upgrades without powering down the host device.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers over single‑mode fiber for campus or metro links
• Extending Ethernet connectivity to remote buildings or wiring closets up to 10 km apart
• Integration into media converters or fiber uplink ports in access networks
• Industrial or enterprise networks requiring reliable 100 Mbps fiber connections

Key specifications

• Interface: Small Form‑factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Standard: 100BASE‑LX (100 Mbps)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Maximum reach: up to 10 km over single‑mode fiber
• Fiber type: single‑mode (SMF)
• Connector type: LC duplex (industry standard)
• Hot‑pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it clicks and secures. Connect the single‑mode LC duplex fiber cable, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation and clean connectors to maintain signal quality. The host device should detect the module automatically; configure link speed and duplex settings if required by the device. For safe handling, avoid touching the fiber endfaces and store the transceiver with protective caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use clean, single‑mode LC duplex fiber cables and perform connector inspection and cleaning before installation. Verify optical link budget and attenuation for spans approaching 10 km and choose proper fiber type and patching to minimize insertion loss. Replace protective dust caps when the transceiver is unused to prevent contamination.
