SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 61497-BO Fiber optic 10000 m

The BlueOptics 61497-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver designed for 10GBASE-LR single-mode links with LC duplex connector. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, it supports optical data transmission at up to 10 Gbit/s over distances up to 10,000 m (10 km). The module implements MSA-compliant electrical and optical interfaces and is compatible with equipment that supports 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceivers, providing a compact, lightweight option for long-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links.

Advantages

The transceiver combines a 1310 nm transmitter and receiver for single-mode fiber transmission, enabling simultaneous send and receive via LC duplex connections. The aluminium housing provides mechanical durability while keeping the module lightweight for easy handling and installation. Compliance with MSA standards ensures interchangeability with other standard SFP+ ports and broad compatibility with switches, routers, storage systems and other network devices. The module supports common monitoring functions through DDM/DOM when the host device provides support, enabling remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, received power and temperature.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over single-mode fiber up to 10 km
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• High-speed backbone links in data centres and enterprise networks
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications up to 10 Gbit/s

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port following the host device manufacturer’s guidelines. Connect an appropriate single-mode LC duplex patch cable to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports 10GBASE-LR optics and, if DDM/DOM monitoring is required, verify that the device firmware or driver exposes those diagnostics. After insertion and cable connection, check link status on the host to confirm successful negotiation and optical signal levels.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode fiber and quality LC duplex patch cords, keep connector end-faces clean, and verify compatibility with the target switch, router or storage system. When deploying in production networks, consider testing a sample module in the intended hardware to confirm full interoperability and diagnostics availability.
