SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 740-021309-BO 10km Aluminium

The BlueOptics 740-021309-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a 10G optical interface designed for long-reach single-mode fiber links up to 10 km. Housed in a lightweight aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP+ module implements an LC duplex optical connector and complies with MSA-compatible SFP+ form-factor requirements. It provides a 10GBASE-LR class optical link with 1310 nm transmitter and receiver wavelengths and supports standard high-speed Ethernet and other optical transport protocols when used with compatible network equipment.

Advantages

The aluminium housing offers a compact, durable enclosure with low weight for straightforward installation and heat dissipation in rack-mounted or chassis-based systems. The module follows established SFP+ mechanical and optical standards, enabling interoperability with a wide range of network switches, routers and storage devices that accept MSA-compliant 10G SFP+ optics. Its single-mode LR design is intended for stable data transmission over longer distances with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper connections.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 10 Gbps uplinks between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Connecting servers, storage systems and SANs in data centers
• Longer-distance campus or metro links up to 10 km
• Replacement or expansion of MSA-compatible SFP+ ports in networking hardware

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ (MSA form factor)
• Optical class: 10GBASE-LR for single-mode fiber
• Wavelength: 1310 nm transmitter and receiver
• Maximum reach: up to 10 km over single-mode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP+ MSA-compatible optics and, if required, that any vendor port-lock or firmware restrictions are addressed. Insert the transceiver into an empty SFP+ slot until it latches, then connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation, verify link status and speed in the host device interface and confirm optical power and link parameters via device diagnostics if available. When removing the module, disengage the latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex patch cords and follow manufacturer guidance for bend radius and connector cleanliness. If the host device supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the available parameters (voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power, temperature) for proactive maintenance. Store unused transceivers in anti-static packaging and avoid touching optical endfaces to maintain signal quality.
