Ricetrasmettitore SFP in fibra ottica BlueOptics SFPGSX-W-BO 550m alluminio

The BlueOptics SFPGSX-W-BO 550m Aluminium is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for short-range multimode fiber links. It implements the 1000Base-SX standard with LC duplex connectivity and supports data rates up to 1.25 Gbit/s over distances up to 550 meters. Housed in a lightweight aluminium casing (approx. 20 g), the module follows MSA mechanical and electrical specifications and is intended for insertion into SFP ports of switches, routers, storage systems and other compatible network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact aluminium housing for mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation while keeping overall weight low. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive on LC duplex multimode fiber with 850 nm optics, enabling reliable 1000Base-SX links. The module is designed and manufactured to MSA standards and uses industry-grade components to provide consistent performance, digital diagnostics support (DDM/DOM) where supported by host hardware, and long operational lifetime.

Suitable for

• Short-range gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber (1000Base-SX)
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems in data centres and enterprise networks
• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in compatible networking hardware that supports 1000Base-SX

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Optical standard: 1000Base-SX
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Maximum link distance: up to 550 meters on multimode fiber
• Data rate: up to 1.25 Gbit/s
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM): supported when enabled by host equipment

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFPGSX-W-BO into a compatible SFP slot on your network device following the device manufacturer's instructions. Use LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords and ensure proper fiber polarity for transmit/receive pairs. Verify link status and configuration via the host device management interface; enable DDM/DOM if you require online monitoring of optical parameters and the host supports it. Remove the module using the transceiver release mechanism provided by the host when replacing or servicing.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the transceiver with OM2/OM3 multimode fiber patch cords and keep fiber connectors clean and dust-free. Confirm host compatibility and software support for SFP modules and DDM before deployment. Avoid mechanical stress on the fiber and observe ESD precautions when handling the module.
