BlueOptics SFP10G-BX1270-20-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP10G-BX1270-20-BO is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module engineered for high-speed single-mode optical links up to 10000 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact metal casing and weighing approximately 3 g, this module uses an SFP+ interface and operates at a 3.3 V input voltage. It features an LC simplex connection and supports bidirectional transmission over a single fiber using distinct transmit and receive wavelengths, making it suitable for long-distance 10GBASE-BX-U links.

Advantages

The module delivers 10 Gbit/s optical connectivity in a compact form factor compatible with SFP+ ports. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal stability while the low weight simplifies handling and installation. Built to MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor standards, the transceiver supports standard optical protocols and is suitable as a direct replacement in systems that accept compatible 10GBASE-BX-U SFP+ devices. Where supported by host hardware, digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable remote monitoring of key operating parameters.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or other network device while the host device is powered on or according to the host manufacturer’s hot-plug guidance. Connect an appropriate single-mode LC simplex patch cable to the module’s LC connector. Ensure the fiber link is terminated to a matching transceiver at the remote end with the complementary wavelengths for bidirectional operation. Verify link status via the host device interface and, if available, enable DDM/DOM monitoring to observe supply voltage, transmit and receive power, laser bias current and temperature.

Recommendations

Use a single-mode LC simplex patch cord and ensure the remote transceiver supports BX1270/BX1330 wavelength pairing for correct bidirectional operation. Confirm that the host hardware supports third-party SFP+ modules and DDM/DOM if digital diagnostics are required. Follow ESD precautions and avoid contamination of fiber endfaces to maintain signal quality.
