SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics AFCT-5705APZ-BO LC hliník 20g

The BlueOptics AFCT-5705APZ-BO LC Aluminium 20g is a single‑mode SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE‑LX optical links. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and fitted with an LC duplex connector, this module transmits and receives at 1310 nm and is intended for reliable gigabit data transmission over long distances. It is compatible with MSA‑compliant SFP ports and engineered for use in switches, routers and other network devices that accept standard 1000BASE‑LX SFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver provides stable 1.25 Gbit/s data throughput with single‑mode fiber and supports distances up to 10 km under the 1000BASE‑LX standard. Its aluminium housing offers mechanical robustness while keeping the module lightweight (approximately 20 g). Built to MSA specifications, the module includes components from established optical and IC manufacturers to ensure consistent performance and extended operational lifetime. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support enables real‑time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit and receive power, and module temperature when supported by the host device.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers over single‑mode fiber
• Long‑reach connections in data centre and enterprise networks (up to 10 km)
• Storage area network links and Fibre Channel over Ethernet applications
• Replacement or upgrade of MSA‑compatible 1000BASE‑LX SFP modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form‑factor Pluggable)
• Optical standard: 1000BASE‑LX
• Wavelength: 1310 nm transmit / 1310 nm receive
• Maximum data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s
• Connector: LC duplex
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Typical operating distance: up to 10 km (depending on fiber and link budget)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 20 g
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM (if supported by host)

How to use

Install the SFP module into an empty SFP port of a compatible network device until it clicks into place, then secure and connect LC duplex fiber patch cords following correct polarity. Configure the host interface according to the device vendor’s instructions and verify link status via the host management interface. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, enable the monitoring feature on the host to view real‑time diagnostics. Handle the module with electrostatic discharge precautions and keep dust caps on unused connectors to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

For optimal link quality, use single‑mode patch cords and ensure connectors are clean before mating. Confirm host compatibility with MSA‑compliant 1000BASE‑LX SFP modules and verify firmware or software settings if the device performs vendor checks. For long‑term reliability, operate the module within the manufacturer’s specified temperature and power ranges and schedule periodic inspection of optical power levels via DDM/DOM if available.
