SFP in fibra ottica BlueOptics 728965-BO 10000 m alluminio

The BlueOptics 728965-BO fiber optic SFP transceiver is a compact module designed for single-mode optical networks. It supports 1000BASE-LX operation with a wavelength around 1310 nm and enables data transmission up to 10,000 m over single-mode fiber. The module is housed in an aluminium casing, weighs approximately 20 g (30 g packaged), and uses an SFP form factor with an LC duplex optical interface. It is designed to meet MSA standards and is compatible with systems that support Arris 728965 or equivalent 1000BASE-LX SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver provides long-reach single-mode connectivity with support for up to 10 km distance and a compact SFP footprint for use in switches, routers and storage systems. The aluminium housing offers mechanical protection and heat dissipation while keeping the unit lightweight. Compliance with MSA form factors and standardized LC duplex connectivity simplifies integration into existing network hardware. The module supports standard optical protocols such as Ethernet and can operate with equipment that accepts 1000BASE-LX SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point single-mode fiber links up to 10 km
• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in enterprise and service provider networks
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage appliances
• Long-distance campus or metro connections requiring LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Standard: 1000BASE-LX
• Wavelength: ~1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Maximum transmission distance: 10,000 m (10 km) over single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Material/finish: Aluminium housing
• Weight (module): approximately 20 g; packaged weight approximately 30 g

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or storage device while the host device is powered according to the vendor guidance. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cord to the transceiver’s LC connector, observing correct Tx/Rx orientation. Ensure the host device firmware and configuration support 1000BASE-LX modules and verify link parameters. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the available diagnostic values such as laser output and receive power via the management interface for ongoing link status checks.

Recommendations

Use single-mode OS1/OS2 fiber for the full 10 km reach and high-quality LC duplex patch cords to minimize insertion loss. Verify compatibility with the target hardware and keep firmware up to date to ensure DDM/DOM support where available. Handle the optical interfaces with dust caps when not connected and follow ESD precautions during installation.
