SFP transceiver BlueOptics MIL-SFP-LX-BO 1310 nm 10 km

The BlueOptics MIL-SFP-LX-BO 1310nm 10km is a single‑mode SFP transceiver designed for long‑distance gigabit fiber links. It implements 1000BASE‑LX optics with an LC duplex connector and operates at a 1310 nm wavelength to reliably transmit data up to 10 kilometres over single‑mode fiber. The module follows MSA-compatible mechanical and electrical specifications and supports common network protocols including Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s.

Advantages

This transceiver offers stable long‑reach performance with a compact SFP form factor suitable for switches, routers and storage hardware that accept 1000BASE‑LX optics. Built to MSA standards, the module uses high‑quality optical lasers and integrated circuits to provide consistent optical power, low error rates and extended service life. Where supported by the host device, the transceiver provides digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit/receive power and temperature.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port according to the host device instructions, ensuring the module is fully seated and latched. Connect LC duplex single‑mode patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Configure the host interface for 1000BASE‑LX operation if manual settings are required. When available, enable or query the digital diagnostics interface to monitor optical parameters and environmental status. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and avoid exposing the optical ports to contamination.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality single‑mode LC patch cords and, where possible, route fibers through patch panels to maintain optimal link performance. Verify host device compatibility for third‑party SFP modules and ensure firmware or software settings allow DDM/DOM access if diagnostic monitoring is needed. Clean fiber connectors before mating and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected optical power and throughput.
