Transceptor SFP de fibra óptica BlueOptics MGB-TLA10-BO 20000 m

The BlueOptics MGB-TLA10-BO is a single-port SFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000BASE-BX-U applications, enabling single-mode optical data transmission over distances up to 20,000 m. Encased in aluminium and weighing 20 g, the module uses an LC simplex connector and supports bi-directional transmission with separate transmitter and receiver wavelengths. The module follows MSA standards for form factor and electrical/optical interfaces and is intended for individual use in compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides long-reach single-mode connectivity with support for up to 1.25 Gbit/s data rates and a nominal range of 20 km. The aluminium housing offers mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation while keeping weight low. The module implements commonly used transmitter and receiver wavelengths for BX-U operation and is manufactured to meet MSA interoperability requirements. When supported by host hardware, the transceiver can provide digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time operational parameters.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber (up to 20 km)
• Interconnection of switches and routers in campus and metro networks
• Fiber uplinks between buildings or equipment rooms
• Use in network appliances that accept SFP modules with LC simplex connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA-compliant)
• Data rate: up to 1.25 Gbit/s (1000BASE-BX-U)
• Transmission distance: up to 20,000 m (20 km) over single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC simplex
• Transmitter wavelength (typical for BX-U): 1550 nm transmit / 1310 nm receive
• Housing: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics: supported when host hardware provides DDM/DOM access

How to use

Install the MGB-TLA10-BO into any SFP cage or slot of compatible network equipment following the equipment manufacturer’s hot-swap and handling procedures. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cord to the transceiver and route the cable to the matching transceiver at the remote end that uses the complementary BX-U wavelength arrangement. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-BX-U and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support to access monitoring data. Avoid touching the optical interfaces, keep dust caps in place when not connected, and follow ESD precautions during handling.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target switch, router or appliance before deployment, confirm the correct fiber type and patch cords for single-mode BX-U links, and, where possible, validate the link with optical power measurements and DDM readings to ensure reliable operation across the intended 20 km span.
