Módulo transceptor SFP BlueOptics 943 896-001-BO 850 nm 550 m

The BlueOptics 943 896-001-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber-optic interface designed for multimode short-range links. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this module supports data transmission up to 550 meters over multimode fiber and uses an LC duplex fiber connector. The module is compatible with standard SFP ports, lightweight at approximately 20 g, and available in a grey housing. It is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP 1000Base-SX modules for gigabit Ethernet and related optical protocols.

Advantages

The BlueOptics module follows MSA SFP form-factor and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with a wide range of hardware that supports 1000Base-SX optics. Its multimode 850 nm transmitter and receiver pair enable simultaneous send/receive operation via LC duplex connections. The small, hot-swappable SFP package simplifies installation and replacement while the low weight and industry-standard connector provide simple integration into switches, routers, and other network devices.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links in campus or data center networks
• Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-SX) uplinks and inter-switch connections
• Storage networking and servers requiring SFP-based optical ports
• Hardware platforms that accept SFP transceivers with LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 550 m over multimode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Typical use: 1000Base-SX gigabit optical links
• Product colour: grey
• Weight: ~0.02 kg

How to use

Install the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device according to the device manufacturer's instructions. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive fibers. The module is hot-swappable, so it can be inserted or removed without powering down equipment in most systems; verify support for hot-swapping in your hardware manual. Confirm link status and negotiate speed and duplex through the host device's management interface. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), monitoring information may be available via the device software.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 or appropriate multimode fiber patch cords for best reach and performance within the specified 550 m range; follow vendor guidance for fiber type and patch panel routing. Ensure the host device explicitly supports 1000Base-SX SFP modules and that firmware or software does not block third-party transceivers. Handle the module with anti-static precautions and keep protective caps on unused ports to avoid contamination.
