Moxa Compatible SFP-1G20BLC – 1000BASE-BX BiDi SFP Transceiver

Elevate your fiber network with the Moxa Compatible SFP-1G20BLC, a high‑quality, TAA‑compliant transceiver that is functionally identical to the original 1000BASE-BX BiDi module. Designed for reliability in demanding enterprise environments, this SFP delivers full 1000BASE‑BX BiDi capability, using 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths over single‑mode fiber. With a reach of up to 20 kilometers, DOM (digital optical monitoring) for real‑time diagnostics, and a durable LC simplex interface, it’s the ideal choice for long‑haul connectivity between switches, routers, and media converters. Each unit is programmed, tested, and supported in the USA, and comes with a lifetime warranty for lasting value and peace of mind.

• Compatibility and quality assurance: This module is engineered to be functionally identical to the original Moxa SFP-1G20BLC, ensuring seamless compatibility with a broad range of network hardware. It is TAA compliant and tested to work with Enet MOXA ecosystems, providing dependable operation in professional deployments. With lifetime warranty coverage, you can deploy with confidence knowing support is available for the long term.
• BiDi 1000BASE-BX transceiver technology: The SFP supports 1000BASE-BX BiDi transceiver operation, leveraging a separate transmit (1550 nm) and receive (1310 nm) path over a single fiber strand. This design reduces fiber count while maintaining high‑speed, reliable data transmission, making it a smart choice for networks with fiber constraints or cascading links.
• Long‑reach, single‑mode fiber: Engineered for up to 20 kilometers on single‑mode fiber, this SFP enables cost‑efficient, distant interconnects between data centers, campuses, or telecom edge devices. Its robust optics are optimized for stable performance across longer links, even in challenging environments where signal loss must be minimized.
• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) and diagnostics: DOM capability provides ongoing visibility into module health, including optical power levels, temperature, laser bias current, and other vital metrics. This data empowers proactive maintenance, rapid fault isolation, and smarter capacity planning for network operations.
• Reliability, compliance, and warranty: Programmed and tested in the USA, this transceiver ships with a lifetime warranty and is built to withstand typical data‑center conditions. The module’s build quality, stability, and compliance with industry standards ensure consistent performance across 1000BASE‑BX BiDi deployments and mixed‑vendor environments.

How to Install Moxa Compatible SFP-1G20BLC

Installing the Moxa Compatible SFP-1G20BLC is straightforward and mirrors standard procedures for SFP modules. Follow these steps to ensure a safe and effective installation:

Preparation and safety

Power down the device before removing or inserting any hot‑swappable components. Handle the module by its edges, avoiding contact with optical connectors or laser surfaces. Ensure you are seated in a clean, dust‑free environment to prevent contamination of the LC interface. Use proper ESD precautions to protect the module and network equipment.

Remove the existing module (if upgrading)

Gently release the existing SFP from its slot using the captive latch mechanism. Do not torque or pry; ensure the module is fully disengaged and remove it from the slot with a straight pull. Inspect the slot for debris and clean if necessary before inserting the new SFP.

Insert the new SFP-1G20BLC

Align the module with the connector in the switch or router’s SFP slot, ensuring the keying notch on the module matches the slot. Push in firmly until the latch locks and you hear a click indicating a secure connection. Do not force the module; if resistance is felt, remove and re‑align before reinserting.

Connect fiber and power up

Connect the single‑mode LC simplex fiber cable to the transceiver. Use the correct fiber type and connector polarity to align the transmitter and receiver ends. Power on the device, monitor the port status, and verify link up via the device’s management interface. DOM readouts may begin after the link is established, providing live diagnostics on optical power, temperature, and other metrics.

Verify link and performance

Confirm the link status in your network management system and run a basic throughput or beacon test to verify data integrity across the link. If any alarm or degraded signal is detected, consult DOM data to identify potential issues such as fiber contamination, connector misalignment, or mismatched wavelength pairing, and take corrective action promptly.

Best practices

Keep fiber ends clean, use fiber adapters or micro‑scopic inspection tools if needed, and avoid bending or stressing the fiber toward the transceiver. Maintain proper environmental conditions—temperature, humidity, and dust control—to help ensure the SFP performs consistently over time.
