Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 507462-BO SFP+ 300m

The BlueOptics 507462-BO SFP+ 300m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10G optical links over multimode fiber up to 300 meters. The module follows MSA SFP+ form-factor conventions and uses an LC duplex connector for simultaneous transmit and receive on separate fibers. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 grams, the module is intended for integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other network equipment that accepts SFP+ modules and supports 10GBASE-SR optics.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 507462-BO delivers 10GBASE-SR performance with an 850 nm transmitter and receiver optimized for multimode fiber applications, enabling high-speed data transfer with immunity to electromagnetic interference. Its aluminium housing provides mechanical protection and thermal dissipation while the compact SFP+ form factor supports hot-plugging and flexible deployment. The module is manufactured to industry MSA standards to ensure physical compatibility and predictable behavior in SFP+-compliant network equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber up to 300 m
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems with SFP+ ports
• High-speed Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications where 10G SR optics are supported

Key specifications

• Maximum transmission distance: up to 300 meters over multimode fiber
• Wavelength: 850 nm transmitter and receiver
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Material/colour: aluminium casing
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ slot on your network device until it latches. Connect an appropriate LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable between transceivers, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive alignment. Verify that the hosting hardware supports 10GBASE-SR optics and, if required, enable or confirm Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support in the device firmware to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, output and input power and temperature. Follow your equipment vendor’s hot-plug and handling guidelines to avoid electrostatic discharge and mechanical damage.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 recommended for best margins at 10G), high-quality LC duplex patch cords, and proper fiber management (patch panels, correct bend radii). Confirm compatibility with the host device’s SFP+ port and firmware. If real-time diagnostics are needed, ensure the host supports DDM/DOM before relying on monitored parameters for troubleshooting.
