Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 10G-SFPP-SR-BO SFP+ LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics 10G-SFPP-SR-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10G data transmission over multimode fiber. It features an LC duplex connector and an aluminium housing, providing a lightweight solution (approx. 0.02 kg) for network equipment that accepts SFP+ modules. The module implements 10GBASE-SR physical signalling and is intended for short-range optical links where 850 nm VCSEL-based transmission is used.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver supports 10 Gbit/s multimode optical links with LC duplex connectivity while conforming to MSA SFP+ form-factor requirements. The aluminium housing keeps weight low and simplifies handling and installation. The module is compatible with systems that accept 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optics and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when the host hardware implements the interface, enabling real-time readout of optical and electrical parameters for troubleshooting and maintenance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps short-range fibre links in data centers and aggregation switches
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems using multimode fiber
• High-speed server uplinks and top-of-rack connections
• Environments requiring LC duplex SFP+ plug-in optics for 850 nm multimode links

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Supported standard: 10GBASE-SR (short-range multimode)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength: 850 nm (multimode, VCSEL)
• Typical reach: short-range multimode links (vendor datasheet references up to ~300 m on suitable multimode fiber)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (if host hardware supports SFF-8472)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or storage device following the host vendor's hot-swap and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Connect LC duplex multimode patch cords to the module and to the remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link negotiation and speed on the host device; enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the management interface if available to view supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature for diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for the intended distance and bandwidth. Confirm host hardware compatibility with 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optics and enable digital diagnostics where supported. Avoid excessive bending of fibre cables, follow ESD precautions during installation, and match transceiver types at both ends of the link for reliable operation.
