SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 10G-SFPP-BXU-S-40-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 10G-SFPP-BXU-S-40-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 10 Gbit/s optical data transmission over single-mode fiber. Housed in a metal enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, this module supports 10GBASE-BX-U operation with LC simplex connectivity, a separate transmitter and receiver wavelength pair (typical 1330 nm TX / 1270 nm RX) and a reach up to 40 km under appropriate fiber and link conditions. The module implements Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature, and conforms to MSA SFP+ mechanical and electrical specifications.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 10G-SFPP-BXU-S-40-BO offers high-speed 10 Gbit/s data throughput combined with a compact, metal housing for mechanical robustness and EMI resistance. Compliance with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards ensures interoperability with a wide range of SFP+-compatible switches, routers and storage equipment. Built-in DDM enables remote diagnostics and simplified maintenance. With an indicated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, the module is designed for long operational life and reduced maintenance cycles.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Long-reach point-to-point connections up to 40 km

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot until it latches; ensure the host device supports 10GBASE-BX-U or generic SFP+ modules and that any vendor lock or firmware restrictions are addressed. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cable to the module and to the remote transceiver, observing the correct TX/RX orientation for bidirectional BX operation. After insertion and link-up, monitor the interface status via the host device and use the DDM functionality to read diagnostic parameters if supported by the system. Follow ESD precautions when handling the module and keep the optical ports capped when not in use.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance operation, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation specifications and quality LC connectors. Verify link budget calculations (including fiber attenuation and connector/splice losses) to confirm 40 km reach. Ensure host hardware firmware permits third-party SFP+ modules and enable DDM monitoring where available to assist with remote troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.
