Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 407-BBWL-BO SFP+ 30m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 407-BBWL-BO SFP+ 30m Aluminium is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed data transmission over short distances. It supports SFP+ interface connectivity and is intended for applications requiring reliable 10 Gbps links up to 30 meters. The module uses an aluminium housing that provides mechanical protection while keeping the net weight low (approximately 20 grams). It is suitable for installation in network switches, routers and similar hardware that accepts SFP+ form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

The module combines a compact aluminium casing with an industry-standard SFP+ interface to deliver a durable and lightweight solution for short-reach 10G links. Designed to comply with common MSA form-factor requirements, it offers plug-and-play compatibility with systems that support SFP+ transceivers. The small physical size and low weight simplify handling and installation, and the construction aims to provide stable operation and long service life in typical data center and enterprise network environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbps uplinks and connections within racks or between adjacent equipment (up to 30 m)
• Installation in SFP+ compatible switches, routers and storage systems
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP+ transceivers where a compact aluminium module is required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum nominal reach: up to 30 meters
• Body material / colour: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg (20 g)
• Data rate class: 10 Gbps class short-reach transceiver

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap instructions for your host device according to the manufacturer's guidelines, then insert the SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ slot until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate fiber or copper patch cable as required by your system configuration and verify link status using the host device management interface. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the available diagnostics parameters to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility by consulting your hardware documentation for supported SFP+ modules and verify that the host device accepts third-party transceivers. Use suitable patch cords and follow proper handling procedures to avoid contamination of optical interfaces. Monitor link performance after installation and, if available, use the digital diagnostics functions to observe real-time parameters.
