Copper Transceiver Module BlueOptics 60170-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics 60170-BO is a copper SFP+ transceiver module designed for 10G network links. Housed in a durable metal casing with a silver finish, this SFP+ module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and has a manufacturer-stated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. Weighing approximately 20 g, it follows MSA SFP+ form-factor standards and installs into compatible SFP+ ports for short-range 10GBASE-T copper connectivity using an RJ45 interface.

Advantages

The module provides 10G network connectivity in a compact SFP+ form factor while maintaining a robust metal housing for mechanical protection and thermal stability. Its lightweight design simplifies handling and installation. With a high MTBF rating, the transceiver is intended to offer long service life and reduced maintenance intervals. Compliance with SFP+ MSA electrical and mechanical specifications ensures interoperability with hardware platforms that support standard 10GBASE-T SFP+ modules.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers over copper (short-range)
• High-performance servers and storage systems that accept SFP+ copper transceivers
• Network upgrades where compact, hot-pluggable 10G copper interfaces are needed

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ with RJ45 copper connector
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Housing: metal enclosure, silver colour
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 60170-BO SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot until it clicks into place. Connect a standard Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7 copper cable with an RJ45 plug to the transceiver for 10GBASE-T operation. Verify link status and speed through the host device's management interface and ensure the network equipment supports SFP+ copper transceivers and the 10GBASE-T protocol. For safe removal, disable the port or gracefully shut down the link according to your equipment's procedures, then press the release tab and pull the module out straight.

Recommendations

Use shielded, high-quality Category cable (Cat6a or better) for reliable 10 Gbit/s performance over short copper distances. Confirm DDM/DOM support and firmware compatibility on your switch or router if you require diagnostic monitoring features. Avoid exposing the module to excessive mechanical stress or temperatures outside the host equipment specifications to preserve service life.
