SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 100-01510BXU-40-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 100-01510BXU-40-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a compact optical interface designed for 10 Gbit/s network connections. This module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and implements the SFP+ form factor to fit a wide range of switches, routers and host adapters that accept hot-swappable small form-factor pluggable transceivers. The module's silver housing and 20 g weight reflect its lightweight metal construction and suitability for dense rack environments, while a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours indicates stability for continuous operation in data centre and enterprise network applications.

Advantages

The transceiver offers high-speed 10 Gbit/s connectivity in a small SFP+ package, allowing network designers to extend fibre links without replacing chassis or line cards. Its standardized SFP+ interface ensures broad compatibility and plug-and-play replacement, and the durable metal housing provides mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding. The published MTBF supports long-term use and predictable maintenance cycles.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Connections to servers and storage systems with SFP+ ports
• Fiber backbone links in enterprise LAN and data centre environments
• Upgrading existing equipment to 10 Gbit/s without changing host hardware

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Housing colour: silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg (20 g)
• Reliability: MTBF 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the module into a compatible SFP+ port on your switch, router or network adapter while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer's hot-swap recommendations. Secure the transceiver in the cage until the retention mechanism engages, then connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the transceiver's optical interface. Verify link status and negotiated speed through the host device's management interface and monitor for correct signal levels and error counters.

Recommendations

Use factory-approved single-mode or multimode fiber and compatible connectors as specified by your equipment vendor. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables near the transceiver and ensure dust caps are used when ports are not connected. For critical links, pair the module with SFP+-rated patch panels and monitor device logs for early indicators of signal degradation.
