Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 400985-BO SFP+ 100m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 400985-BO SFP+ 100m Aluminium is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range, high-speed optical links. It implements an SFP+ interface in an aluminium housing and is intended for use in networking hardware that accepts SFP+ modules. The module supports multimode fiber connections with LC duplex termination and a specified maximum transfer distance of 100 meters. It is compact and lightweight, suitable for installation in switches, routers and other compatible network devices.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides robust mechanical protection while keeping weight low. With SFP+ interface compatibility, the module fits a wide range of SFP+ ports and follows standard form-factor expectations for hot-pluggable optical transceivers. Its multimode optical design and 100 m range make it appropriate for short-range data center links, server-to-switch connections and other local optical links. The simple form factor and standardized connector ensure predictable physical integration into existing network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode fiber links up to 100 m
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in racks and data cabinets
• Use in network equipment that accepts SFP+ transceiver modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum transmission distance: 100 m (multimode fiber)
• Connector type: LC duplex (multimode)
• Housing material and colour: aluminium / aluminium finish
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP+ multimode transceivers and power down or follow the host vendor’s hot-plug instructions. Insert the transceiver into an SFP+ cage until it latches and secure any retention mechanism if present. Connect LC duplex multimode patch cords to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. After insertion, verify link LEDs and host interface indicators to confirm a successful optical connection. If the host requires it, configure the network interface parameters in software or firmware according to the device documentation.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and maintain clean connector end-faces to ensure reliable optical performance. Confirm that the host hardware supports the SFP+ transceiver and any monitoring features before deployment. For best results in data center environments, install modules into properly grounded and ventilated equipment racks and follow the vendor guidance for hot-plug handling and ESD precautions.
