Fiber-SFP-transceiver BlueOptics ONS-SE-100-FX-BO 2000 m

The BlueOptics ONS-SE-100-FX-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver engineered for reliable 100BASE-FX data transmission over multimode fiber up to 2000 m. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module provides an MSA-compliant LC duplex interface with 1310 nm transmitter and receiver wavelengths. It is designed to be compatible with major networking hardware that supports the original 100BASE-FX SFP form factor and supports Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications at nominal data rates up to 155 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The aluminium body ensures low weight while providing mechanical durability suitable for rack-mounted equipment. Compliance with MSA standards and the LC duplex connector allow straightforward interoperability with existing SFP ports and standard fiber patch cords. The module supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when the host device provides the necessary support, enabling real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and internal temperature. Tested compatibility with major platforms reduces integration effort and facilitates replacement of original transceivers.

Suitable for

• Short to medium distance multimode fiber links up to 2 km
• 100BASE-FX Ethernet and legacy optical network connections
• Switches, routers, storage systems and other hardware with SFP ports
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity of fiber is required

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the target device following the vendor’s hot-swap and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters through the device management interface to confirm power levels and module temperature. When removing the transceiver, power down the port or follow the equipment’s hot-swap procedure to avoid link disruption.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and, where possible, route fiber through patch panels to preserve connector integrity. Confirm that the host device firmware supports third-party SFP modules and DDM/DOM if you require real-time diagnostics. Avoid bending fibers beyond their minimum bend radius and protect connectors from dust using dust caps when not in use.
