Copper SFP+ Transceiver BlueOptics FA-40Gb-Eth-SFP-LR 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics FA-40Gb-Eth-SFP-LR is a copper SFP+ transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Engineered for compact network equipment, this silver-coloured module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s, provides a single RJ-45 Ethernet LAN port and is compatible with Dell network devices. With a lightweight 20 g construction and a copper physical interface, it enables short-reach high-speed connectivity up to 30 m over standard copper cabling.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a straightforward, hot-pluggable solution for adding 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper to compatible switches and servers. Its compact SFP+ form factor conserves port density while delivering full 10 Gb/s throughput. The module’s silver finish and standardized RJ-45 connector ensure physical compatibility and easy installation into existing network infrastructures. Low weight and proven copper signaling simplify deployment in racks and blade chassis where short-distance, high-speed links are required.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ transceiver into an empty SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or server while the device is powered down or according to the host’s hot-plug procedures. Connect a suitable shielded twisted-pair copper cable with RJ-45 terminations to the module’s port, ensuring the cable length does not exceed the specified 30 m for reliable 10 Gb/s performance. Verify link activity and speed via the host device management interface and confirm compatibility with the Dell equipment firmware and settings if required.

Recommendations

Use high-quality, shielded Cat6a or Cat7 copper cabling for optimal 10 Gigabit performance and to minimize electromagnetic interference. Check host device compatibility lists and update firmware if necessary to ensure the transceiver is recognized and operates at full 10 Gb/s capacity.
