SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 551125-BO Fiber optic LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 551125-BO is a 10G SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode optical links. It features an LC duplex connector, an aluminium housing and a lightweight design (approximately 20 g). Built to MSA standards and compatible with 10GBASE-ER applications, this module supports long-reach optical transmission over single-mode fiber for data networking equipment that accepts SFP+ form factor modules.

Advantages

The module provides 10 Gigabit-capable optical connectivity in a compact SFP+ form factor and uses LC duplex interfaces for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. Its aluminium casing offers mechanical protection and efficient heat dissipation while keeping the weight low. Conformance to MSA physical and electrical specifications ensures interoperability with equipment that supports 10G SFP+ transceivers. The transceiver is suitable for extended-reach single-mode operation and can simplify integration into switches, routers and storage systems that accept compatible 10GBASE-ER SFP+ modules.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Long-reach optical connections between network sites
• Integration in SFP+-compatible switches, routers and storage systems
• Replacement or upgrade of existing LC duplex SFP+ transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Connector: LC duplex
• Optical reach class: 10GBASE-ER (single-mode, extended reach)
• Transmitter/Receiver wavelength: 1550 nm (single-mode optical signals)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on your switch, router or storage device following the host equipment manufacturer's handling instructions. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the LC ports, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive alignment. Verify link status in the host device and confirm that the port is configured for 10 Gbps operation. If available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, received input power and temperature in real time.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber with appropriate quality and inspection procedures to maintain signal integrity. Ensure the host device officially supports 10GBASE-ER SFP+ modules and, where necessary, enable DDM/DOM support to monitor link health. Handle the transceiver using electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and keep dust caps on connectors when not in use.
