SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 0231A0A6-BO Fiber optic LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 0231A0A6-BO is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module designed for high-speed 10G data transmission over multimode fiber. The module uses an LC duplex connector, an 850 nm transmitter/receiver pair and an aluminium housing, and it weighs approximately 20 g. It conforms to MSA SFP+ form-factor guidelines and supports common protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over short-range multimode links up to typical multimode distances.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact SFP+ form factor with proven interoperability on platforms that support compatible 10GBASE-SR modules. Built to industry MSA standards, it delivers stable optical performance for short-range multimode links and includes support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware enables it. The aluminium housing offers durability and thermal stability while the lightweight design simplifies handling and installation.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-range links over multimode fiber
• Fibre Channel short-range storage area networks
• Interconnects between switches, routers, and servers with SFP+ ports
• Data center uplinks and spine/leaf connections within a rack or across adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmitter and receiver)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Compatible fiber type: multimode fiber
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 20 g
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (requires host support)

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into a compatible SFP+ port until the latch engages. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module, ensuring proper transmit-to-receive alignment. Configure the host interface according to your switch or server documentation, and verify link status and speed through the device management interface. If digital diagnostics are available in your hardware, use the management tools to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal 10GBASE-SR performance and keep connector end-faces clean to avoid signal loss. Confirm host compatibility with 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules and enable DDM/DOM in supported equipment for proactive monitoring. For longer distances or single-mode requirements select an appropriate single-mode SFP+ variant.
