Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-710DMZ-BO SFP+ LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics AFBR-710DMZ-BO SFP+ LC aluminium fiber optic transceiver is a compact 10GBASE-SR module designed for high-speed multimode fiber links. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module implements an LC duplex connector and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and related protocols over short-range multimode fiber. It follows MSA dimensions and offers a transmitter and receiver operating around 850 nm for reliable optical data transmission in networking equipment that accepts SFP+ 10GBASE-SR modules.

Advantages

The module is compatible with Broadcom AFBR-710DMZ form-factor hardware and is manufactured to MSA standards to ensure interoperability. It supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature, aiding troubleshooting and remote maintenance. Using quality optical components and ICs, the transceiver is intended for long operational life and stable performance in data center and enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber (up to typical industry distances)
• Switches, routers and storage systems supporting SFP+ 10GBASE-SR
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and other high-speed optical interconnects
• Network upgrades and repairs requiring MSA-compliant SFP+ modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (10G)
• Optical interface: LC duplex
• Wavelength: ~850 nm (multimode operation)
• Supported protocols: 10GBASE-SR, Ethernet, FCoE, SDH/SONET-compatible data rates
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• DDM/DOM support: yes (SFF-8472 compliant)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR-710DMZ-BO into an available SFP+ slot on compatible networking equipment until it latches. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module and to the corresponding port or patch panel. Ensure the host hardware supports 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM functionality in the host management interface for diagnostic monitoring. Perform link tests and verify signal levels and operational status via the switch or router management tools.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and certified LC patch cords, maintain proper fiber cleaning procedures before mating connectors, and verify that the target equipment supports SFP+ 10GBASE-SR modules with DDM if diagnostics are needed. For optimal lifetime and performance, operate the transceiver within the equipment manufacturer’s specified temperature and power limits.
