SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 473471A.101-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 473471A.101-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a compact fiber-optic interface designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and a maximum optical reach of up to 300 m, this module fits standard SFP+ slots and uses an LC fiber connector. The module has a silver housing, a lightweight design of approximately 20 g, and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, providing a reliable physical layer component for network switches, routers and media converters.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized SFP+ form factor for easy hot-plug installation and replacement. Its support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet ensures full-bandwidth connectivity for short-range fiber links, while the LC connector offers broad compatibility with duplex multimode fiber cabling. Low weight and compact dimensions reduce mechanical load on equipment bays, and the specified MTBF indicates long operational life under typical conditions.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within data centers and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches and media converters over multimode fiber
• Network equipment upgrades where SFP+ modules are required

Key specifications

• Data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 300 m over appropriate multimode fiber
• Interface type: 10 Gigabit Ethernet, SFP+ form factor
• Fiber connector: LC duplex
• Housing colour: silver
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Reliability: mean time between failures (MTBF) 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ port on your switch, router or media converter until it locks into place, then connect LC-terminated fiber patch cords to the duplex connector following the correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and that link settings (speed, duplex, auto-negotiation) are configured as required. Handle the module with ESD precautions and keep dust caps in place when the module is not connected.

Recommendations

Use the module with compatible multimode fiber and verified LC patch cords rated for 10 Gbps over the intended distance. Verify firmware and transceiver compatibility with the host device vendor guidelines to ensure optimal performance and avoid interoperability issues.
