LB - LightBoard mobile programmer for SFP/ SFP+/ SFP28/QSFP+/ QSFP28 optical modules and DAC/AOC cables.
- It has a friendly and intuitive interface.
- Free and perpetual License.
- The device runs in the “cloud”, so it is continuously updated with new hardware versions, new interfaces, so it does not require constant updates.

Designed for programming DAC modules and cables from manufacturer LightOptics only.

LightBoard - mobile programmer for LightOptics SFP, SFP+, XFP, SFP28, QSFP+ 40G, QSFP28 100G optical modules.

With the LightBoard programmer model LB 2 from the manufacturer LightOptics, you can program and reprogram optical modules and DAC cables ONLY from the manufacturer LightOptics.

How does the programmer work ?

Lightboard allows changing the compatibility of LightOptics manufacturer's optical modules, ensuring that they work with almost any equipment vendor. It allows you to adapt SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28 and DAC transceivers to various network devices such as switches, converters, network/server cards, etc. All you need to do is connect the module to the programmer, select the appropriate settings and you're done! The process is simple and fast, so even people without specialized knowledge can use it.

The current version of the eLO SFP app can be downloaded at the link (link to the app). Also available as a phone version in the Play Store and AppStore.

 

Brief technical specifications of the programmer:

• Supported module types: SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP, QSFP28, DAC, AOC

• Interface: USB for connection to computer

• Support for operating systems: Windows, macOS, Linux

 

 

Basic Functions of Insert Programmer (transceivers):

• Programming fiber optic modules to work with equipment from manufacturers such as Alcatel, Allied Telesis, Broadcom, Cisco, DCN, Dell, D-Link, Extreme Networks, Fortinet, Hirschmann, Huawei, Intel, Juniper, Mellanox, Mikrotik, Moxa, Netgear, Palo Alto, QNAP, TP-Link, Ubiquiti, ZTE, Zyxel, among others, and other network equipment prodcents.

• Supported transceiver formats: SFP (1GbE and 100Mbs), SFP+ (10GbE), SFP28 (25/10GbE), QSFP+ (40GbE), QSFP28 (100GbE)

• Programming of DAC cables (10G, 25G, 40G and 100G) and AOC cables. Each end of the cable is programmed individually, so the DAC cable can be used to connect devices (switches, server cards) from different manufacturers, e.g. Cisco with Huawei, Mikrotik with Intel, Dell with QNAP, Mellanox with Juniper, etc

• Multiple optical module programming. SFP+ 10G LR module programmed today to Juniper tomorrow can be reprogrammed to MikroTik and reapplied in the next link.

• Checking what manufacturer the cartridge has been programmed to,

• Configuration from a computer or phone with Android or IOS thanks to the app eLO SFP
  (The eLO SFP app can be downloaded from the Attachments section or the Play Store and App Store.Install the eLO SFP app on your phone, use the phone's camera to scan the barcode. The app will tell you what manufacturer the fiber optic insert is programmed for)

• Free License, which we allocate once at the time of purchase, without any additional fees and is perpetual.

• The device runs in the “cloud”, so it is constantly updated with new versions of hardware, new interfaces, so it does not require constant updates.

• Simple operation in 2 clicks - just place the optical module in the programmer, select from the list the manufacturer of the switch/card manufacturer in which the insert will be installed and save the software with the “WRITE” button

With the LightBoard coding tool for optical transceivers and DAC/AOC cables:

• Adapt LightOptics optical modules to work seamlessly with nearly any network device on the market, ensuring broad compatibility.

• Optimize your inventory by reducing duplicate module types—one programmable module can be configured to meet various requirements.

• Flexible ordering: no need to specify the exact equipment type at the time of purchase; you can program the module yourself just before installation.

• Access remote support when needed, with professional service assistance available on demand.

• Quickly reprogram optical transceivers to match new devices or firmware updates, allowing for adjustments as network needs evolve.

The LightBoard programmer from LightOptics offers a user-friendly and intuitive interface, enabling fast reconfiguration of optical transceivers in just a few seconds.
