BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-CH-BO network transceiver module 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-CH-BO network transceiver module is a compact SFP+ optical module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other 10 Gb protocols. Constructed with a metal housing and weighing 20 grams, it supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and complies with RoHS and FCC regulations. The module uses bidirectional (BIDI) single‑mode fiber technology with an LC simplex connector to enable high‑speed links over existing single‑fiber infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with standard SFP+ ports.

Advantages

The module provides a reliable 10 Gbit/s physical interface in a small, pluggable form factor and supports long‑range single‑mode transmission using BIDI WDM to double bandwidth on a single fiber. A metal housing offers mechanical robustness and electromagnetic shielding. Compliance with RoHS and FCC ensures regulatory conformity for most installations. The compact weight and standard SFP+ interface simplify installation and interchangeability in switches, routers and storage systems.

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an appropriate SFP+ slot on the network device until it latches. Connect a single‑mode LC simplex patch cord with the correct BIDI pair (matching transmit/receive wavelengths) to the module and the remote transceiver. Ensure both endpoints use complementary BIDI wavelengths (e.g., 1270 nm ↔ 1330 nm) and that the link settings on connected devices are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation. Monitor link status indicators on the host device and verify signal levels via device diagnostics if available.

Recommendations

Use matched BIDI transceiver pairs and compliant single‑mode fiber to ensure reliable operation. Avoid excessive bending or stress on fiber cables, keep connectors clean and use dust caps when modules are not connected. Check device compatibility and enable digital diagnostic monitoring (if supported) to monitor temperature, supply voltage and optical power for proactive maintenance.
