Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics JL438A-BO SFP+ LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics JL438A-BO SFP+ LC Aluminium 20g is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed optical links. It implements the SFP+ interface in a compact aluminium housing and uses an LC duplex connector for multimode fiber connections. The module supports 10G data rates over short to medium distances and is suitable for integration into switches, routers and other networking equipment that accept SFP+ form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides a lightweight and durable enclosure weighing approximately 20 g while aiding heat dissipation. Compliance with SFP+ MSA form-factor and LC connector standards ensures physical compatibility with a broad range of network devices. The module is built for stable optical transmission over multimode fiber and supports standard 10GBASE-LRM signaling characteristics suitable for Ethernet and similar high-speed protocols.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data center and enterprise networks
• Short- to medium-range multimode fiber connections (LC duplex)
• Integration into SFP+-capable switches, routers and storage interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Connector: LC duplex
• Housing material: aluminium
• Typical weight: 0.02 kg
• Supported application: 10G optical transmission over multimode fiber

How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP+ slot of a compatible network device until it clicks into place, then connect LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module and the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel. Ensure that the host device firmware and configuration support third-party SFP+ modules and that the fiber type and patch cables match the intended multimode application. Power up the network devices and verify link status through the device management interface or indicator LEDs.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable operation, use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and keep dust caps on the transceiver when ports are unused. Verify device compatibility and enable any required software settings for third-party SFP+ modules. For monitoring, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on hardware that supports it to track supply voltage, laser bias, optical power and temperature.
