SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 740-031198-BO 40000 m Aluminium

The BlueOptics 740-031198-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module engineered for high-speed single-mode optical links. It supports 10G transmission and is designed for long-distance runs up to 40,000 m. The module uses an LC duplex connector and is housed in an aluminium shell that keeps the weight low (approximately 20 g) while providing mechanical durability. It implements standardized SFP+ electrical and optical interfaces for integration in networking equipment that supports 10GBASE-ER optics.

Advantages

This transceiver provides long-reach 10G connectivity over single-mode fiber with a transmitter and receiver operating at 1550 nm, delivering stable optical performance for up to 40 km. The aluminium housing combines low weight with mechanical robustness for rack and field installations. Designed to meet MSA SFP+ mechanical and electrical specifications, the module supports interoperable use in systems that accept 10G SFP+ optics and includes support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware provides the required interface.

Suitable for

• Long-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber (up to 40 km)
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems with LC duplex interfaces
• Data center uplinks and campus backbone connections requiring 10GBASE-ER optics
• Environments where a compact, lightweight aluminium transceiver is preferred

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Optical mode: Single-mode fiber
• Wavelength: 1550 nm (transmitter and receiver)
• Maximum reach: 40,000 m (40 km)
• Connector type: LC duplex

• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics: supported when host hardware implements DDM/DOM (MSA SFF-8472)

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on your networking device following the device manufacturer’s hot-plug procedure. Insert an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cord ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status in the host device management interface and, if available, read digital diagnostic values through the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and module temperature. Use appropriate cable routing and strain relief to preserve optical performance and protect the module from mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Ensure the host device officially supports 10GBASE-ER SFP+ modules and, if you require monitoring, that the DDM/DOM function is enabled in the system. For optimal link performance use single-mode fiber patch cords and connectors in good condition, keep optical connectors clean, and observe manufacturer guidelines on insertion/removal to avoid damage. For long-term reliability, operate the module within the equipment’s specified environmental and power conditions.
