Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics FET-10G-BO SFP+ 300m

The BlueOptics FET-10G-BO SFP+ 300m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10G optical connections over multi-mode fiber. It implements the 10GBASE-SR specification with LC duplex connectivity and operates at 850 nm for both transmitter and receiver, enabling short-range high-speed data transmission up to 300 meters. The module is built in an aluminium housing and weighs approximately 20 grams, matching SFP+ form-factor expectations for use in switches, routers and other network devices that accept MSA-compliant SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 10 Gbps optical throughput over multimode fiber while maintaining compact SFP+ dimensions and a lightweight aluminium enclosure. It follows MSA standards for compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels via LC duplex connectors. Built with components sourced from established vendors, the module includes support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) where the host device exposes those functions, enabling remote monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics FET-10G-BO module into an SFP+ slot on compatible networking hardware until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module, observing proper polarity for transmit and receive fibers. Ensure that the connected switch, router or storage device supports 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules and, if required, enable or verify support for digital diagnostics in the host device firmware to access monitoring data. After physical installation, verify link status and data rate on the host management interface and test connectivity across the fiber link.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber and high-quality LC duplex patch cords matched to the module’s 850 nm wavelength, maintain correct polarity, and keep connectors and adapters clean to ensure optimal link performance. Confirm DDM/DOM support on the host device before relying on remote diagnostics. For distances near the 300 m limit, validate signal margin and consider higher-grade multimode fiber to preserve link reliability.
