Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics X-000180-R6-BO SFP+ 300m

The BlueOptics X-000180-R6-BO SFP+ 300m is a fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 10G short-range optical links over multimode fiber. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this SFP+ module provides a compact, industry-standard form factor with an LC duplex connector for simultaneous transmit and receive on separate fibers. It supports multimode transmission at 850 nm and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP+ SR modules, delivering reliable connectivity for short-reach data center and campus links up to 300 metres.

Advantages

This transceiver offers 10GBASE-SR performance in an SFP+ footprint, combining a lightweight aluminium housing with compliance to common MSA electrical and optical interfaces. The module is suitable for multimode fiber and provides simultaneous transmit and receive via LC duplex connectors. Designed for compatibility with major network platforms, it includes features that support high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications at up to 10 Gbit/s over distances to 300 m.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP+ module into an appropriate SFP+ slot on a switch, router or storage device following the host hardware manufacturer’s instructions. Connect an LC duplex multimode patch cord between transceivers, ensuring correct orientation of transmit and receive fibers. After installation, verify link status and speed via the host device’s management interface. If digital diagnostics are available and supported by the host, use those readings for link verification and monitoring.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber patch cords for best performance over distances approaching the module’s 300 m limit, and ensure both ends use compatible SFP+ SR modules. Verify that the target hardware supports SFP+ SR modules and any digital diagnostic functions you intend to use. Handle the module carefully, keep protective caps on when not in use, and follow standard ESD precautions during installation.
