SFP+ transceiver BlueOptics 10GBASE-ER-HC-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm Silver

The BlueOptics 10GBASE-ER-HC-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module engineered for high-speed long-range data links. It supports a maximum data rate of 10000 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber at a 1550 nm wavelength. The module comes in a compact metal housing with a silver finish and operates from a 3.3 V supply, offering a lightweight (20 g) and standardized SFP+ form factor for straightforward integration into compatible network equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver provides reliable 10 Gbit/s connectivity for extended reach applications while maintaining a compact SFP+ footprint. The metal casing ensures mechanical durability and heat dissipation, and the 1550 nm wavelength is suitable for long-distance single-mode fiber links. Low weight and the standardized connector make the module easy to install and replace in switches, routers or media converters that accept SFP+ modules.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber backbone links
• Data center uplinks and campus network interconnects
• High-speed point-to-point connections between network devices
• Upgrading existing SFP+ ports to 10 Gbit/s over extended reach

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Operating wavelength: 1550 nm
• Housing: metal, silver finish
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP+ transceivers and is powered off or in a state that allows hot-swap if applicable. Align the module with the SFP+ slot and insert it until it clicks into place; secure any retention latch according to the device manual. Connect the appropriate single-mode fiber patch cable with LC or compatible connectors to the transceiver. Configure the network device for 10 Gbit/s operation and verify link status through the host interface LEDs or management console.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target switch, router or media converter before installation. Use single-mode fiber rated for 1550 nm and follow standard fiber handling practices: avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended radii, keep connectors clean, and use appropriate dust caps when the transceiver is not in use.
