SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics 10720-GE-SFP-LH-BO optické vlákno 10000 m

The BlueOptics 10720-GE-SFP-LH-BO is a single-mode fiber SFP transceiver module designed for long-distance 1000BASE-LX optical links up to 10,000 m. Housed in aluminium and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module uses an LC duplex connector and operates with 1310 nm transmit and receive wavelengths. It follows MSA form-factor standards and supports common protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet, making it suitable for integration into network switches, routers and storage systems that accept MSA-compliant SFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides reliable long-reach optical transmission with a compact, lightweight aluminium enclosure that facilitates installation and heat dissipation. Conformity with MSA standards and the LC duplex interface ensures broad interoperability with hardware platforms that accept 1000BASE-LX SFP modules. The transceiver supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to report operating parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and received power, and temperature when the host system supports these features.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links up to 10 km
• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and inter-switch connections
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET interface applications
• Integration into switches, routers, storage arrays and patch panels

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Standard: 1000BASE-LX
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (Tx and Rx)
• Maximum reach: up to 10,000 m over single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Operating features: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (MSA SFF-8472)
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: ~0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP into any compatible SFP slot following the host device manufacturer's guidance to avoid electrostatic discharge and ensure correct seating. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the transceiver, observing correct transmit/receive pairing. Configure the host device for a 1000BASE-LX link if required; the module operates transparently for standard Ethernet and FC over Ethernet applications. If the host supports DDM/DOM, verify that monitoring is enabled to view real-time optical and electrical parameters for diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, and ensure optical connectors are clean before insertion to maintain optimal link performance. Verify compatibility with the specific network equipment and enable DDM/DOM monitoring where available to simplify maintenance and fault finding.
