SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 7101678-BO Fiber optic 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 7101678-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a fiber-optic 10GBASE-SR solution designed for short-reach multimode links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s over multimode fiber using an LC duplex connector. Housed in a durable metal casing and weighing approximately 20 g, this module follows MSA SFP+ form-factor specifications and includes transmitter and receiver optics operating at 850 nm. The transceiver is suitable for integration into network switches, routers, storage systems and other hardware platforms that accept SFP+ modules compliant with standard electrical and mechanical interfaces.

Advantages

The module provides 10 Gbit/s optical connectivity with a compact SFP+ footprint and an LC duplex interface, enabling simultaneous transmit and receive over two fibers. Built with a metal housing for thermal stability and durability, it offers a high MTBF (mean time between failures) rating for extended operational life. Compatibility with common SFP+ MSA standards ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment. The small size and low weight make it easy to install and replace in dense server and switch environments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Interconnects between switches and routers in data centers
• Storage area network (SAN) and server uplinks
• High-speed interconnects in campus or enterprise networks

How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP+ slot on compatible network equipment following the equipment manufacturer's hot‑swap and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module—observe correct transmit/receive polarity—and ensure the connected device supports 10GBASE-SR optics. Verify link status and, if available, read digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) through the host system to monitor optical power, temperature and supply voltage. For optimal performance, use suitable multimode fiber and clean connector end faces before connecting.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 7101678-BO SFP+ with multimode fiber cabling rated for 10 Gbit/s, such as OM3/OM4 for extended reach and reliable signal quality. Ensure host device firmware supports 10GBASE-SR optics and DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. Store and handle the module in a static-safe environment and protect unused ports with dust caps until installation.
