SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 31P1658-BO 10km Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 31P1658-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a 10GBASE-LR fiber optic interface designed for single‑mode links up to 10 kilometres. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 grams, this SFP+ module uses LC duplex connectivity and operates on 1310 nm for both transmit and receive. It conforms to MSA form‑factor and electrical specifications for SFP+ ports and is intended for integration into networking equipment that accepts standard SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

The module provides 10 Gbps optical transmission over single‑mode fiber with LR reach of up to 10 km while maintaining a compact, lightweight aluminium housing for easy installation and thermal stability. It is manufactured to industry MSA standards and designed to work with common network protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support enables real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature when the host supports these features.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber (up to 10 km)
• High‑speed interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications requiring 10G optics
• Replacement or upgrade of SFP+ ports using LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (MSA compliant)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Maximum reach: up to 10,000 metres over single‑mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 20 g
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (if host supports feature)

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on your switch, router or storage device while the host is powered according to the vendor’s instructions. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the module’s TX and RX ports, ensuring correct orientation for transmit/receive. Verify link status on the host system and confirm that any required DDM/DOM functions are enabled to monitor optical parameters. Follow your hardware vendor’s guidance for hot‑plugging and firmware compatibility.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single‑mode fiber and quality LC duplex patch cords rated for long‑reach 10G links, keep connectors clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools, and ensure the host platform supports SFP+ 10GBASE‑LR modules and DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. Match duplex orientation and check optical budgets when designing links close to the maximum 10 km reach.
