Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 10GB-BX10-U-BO SFP+ LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics 10GB-BX10-U-BO SFP+ LC Aluminium is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gbps single-mode links. It uses an SFP+ interface with an LC simplex connector and a compact aluminium housing weighing approximately 20 g. The module supports bidirectional transmission on a single fiber by using separate transmit and receive wavelengths, and is compliant with MSA form-factor and electrical specifications suitable for use in compatible switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

This transceiver offers 10 Gigabit capacity for long-range single-mode connections while maintaining low weight and robust aluminium construction. It implements bidirectional optical signalling with separate transmit and receive wavelengths to reduce fiber cabling requirements. The module is built to MSA standards and is tested for interoperability with major network hardware that accepts SFP+ 10GBASE-BX-U form factor modules. Digital diagnostics support is available where host equipment implements DDM/DOM monitoring.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps uplinks between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Long-distance connections up to several kilometers in data center and campus networks
• Interconnecting storage systems and SAN switches supporting SFP+ modules
• Replacing or expanding SFP+ ports in hardware that supports 10GBASE-BX-U transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Connector: LC simplex
• Optical mode: Single-mode fiber (bidirectional, separate TX/RX wavelengths)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support, if supported by host

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot until it clicks into place, then secure any retention mechanism required by the host device. Connect an LC fiber patch cord matching single-mode fiber specifications to the LC connector; if using bidirectional BX optics, ensure opposite-wavelength transceivers are paired on each end (one module transmitting at one wavelength and receiving at the complementary wavelength). Verify link status on the host device and enable or monitor DDM/DOM parameters if available to confirm power, temperature and other diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords designed for bidirectional (BX) applications and follow the host vendor’s compatibility list. Ensure fibre connectors are clean before insertion to avoid signal loss. If monitoring is required, confirm that the host system supports DDM/DOM to access realtime diagnostics for voltage, laser bias, transmit power, receive power and temperature.
