SFP transceiver BlueOptics BO05C13610D 1000BASE-LX 10 km

The BlueOptics BO05C13610D is an SFP transceiver module engineered for 1000BASE-LX gigabit fiber links, providing reliable single-mode optical connectivity up to 10 km. Compact and hot-pluggable, it is compatible with standard SFP ports and intended for installation in switches, routers and media converters where long-distance fiber links are required. The module supports simplex single-mode fiber and is designed to meet common interoperability and optical performance requirements for enterprise and carrier access networks.

Advantages

This transceiver offers long-reach single-mode transmission up to 10 km in a small form-factor pluggable package, enabling flexible deployment in rack-mounted and compact network equipment. Its hot-swappable design simplifies maintenance and upgrades without powering down devices. Built to industry optical and mechanical standards, the module provides stable gigabit throughput and consistent optical budget suitable for backbone, distribution and point-to-point links.

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP transceivers and is configured for 1000BASE-LX operation. With the device powered on or off (hot-pluggable), insert the module into an available SFP port until it seats securely. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fiber patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Verify link status and configure interface settings on the switch or router as required for gigabit operation. Follow equipment vendor guidance for transceiver compatibility and software settings.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and polishing standards; avoid sharp bends and maintain proper connector cleanliness to preserve optical performance. For distances near the maximum range, verify link margin and consider fiber testing or higher-sensitivity equipment to ensure stable operation.
