Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 740-066993-BO SFP+ 40000 m

The BlueOptics 740-066993-BO SFP+ 40000 m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode long-distance links with a nominal reach of up to 40,000 meters. Encased in an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP+ module provides a compact, MSA-compliant form factor with LC simplex connection and supports 10 Gbps class data transmission. It implements bi-directional transmission over a single fiber using distinct transmit and receive wavelengths and is intended for integration into network equipment that accepts SFP+ optical modules.

Advantages

The module offers long-reach single-mode operation in a small SFP+ package and a lightweight aluminium enclosure that supports standard hot-pluggable installation. It conforms to common MSA optical transceiver dimensions and uses LC simplex connectivity for straightforward fiber cabling. The transceiver supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for remote monitoring of optical and electrical parameters when used in compatible host equipment. Its single-fiber bi-directional design reduces fiber count for point-to-point links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Long-distance point-to-point connections up to 40 km
• Integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other SFP+-compatible network hardware
• Network setups requiring LC simplex connectors and single-fiber bi-directional transmission

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Nominal maximum transmission distance: up to 40,000 m (40 km) over single-mode fiber
• Data rate class: 10 Gbps transmission
• Connector type: LC simplex
• Wavelengths: separate transmit and receive wavelengths for bi-directional single-fiber operation
• Operating enclosure: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Support for Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host hardware provides compatibility

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+-compatible port on your switch, router or storage device following the host equipment manufacturer’s hot-plug procedure. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cord using the appropriate polarity for bi-directional operation so that the module’s transmit and receive wavelengths align with the remote transceiver. Verify link status through the host device and, if available, use the DDM/DOM interface to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, optical transmit and receive power, and temperature. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the module and keep the optical interfaces covered when not in use.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode fiber and LC simplex patch cords rated for long-distance links and ensure the remote transceiver supports the complementary bi-directional wavelengths. Confirm host compatibility with 10G SFP+ modules and DDM/DOM support if remote diagnostics are required. Perform end-to-end testing after installation to validate link quality and optical power margins.
