SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 740-031980-01-BO LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 740-031980-01-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a 10G optical interface designed for high-speed short-range multimode fiber networks. It features an LC duplex connector, operates at 10 Gbps using 850 nm VCSEL optics (10GBASE-SR profile) and is housed in an aluminium enclosure weighing approximately 20 g. The transceiver complies with MSA form-factor conventions for SFP+ modules and is intended as a direct-fit replacement for systems that accept this module type.

Advantages

This SFP+ module provides reliable 10 Gbps data transmission over multimode fiber with LC duplex connectivity, compact aluminium housing and low weight for easy installation. It supports industry-standard 10GBASE-SR multimode links, enabling compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ modules. Built and tested according to MSA guidelines, the module includes digital diagnostic monitoring support where the host hardware exposes that functionality, supporting maintenance and link verification.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps short-range multimode fiber links (data centers, server-to-switch connections)
• Upgrading network equipment with SFP+ slots to 10GBASE-SR capabilities
• Redundant or replacement transceiver needs in switches, routers and storage systems

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ (MSA form factor)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-SR profile)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (VCSEL, multimode fiber)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Typical reach: multimode fiber up to commonly specified short-range distances (vendor-specific reach depending on fiber grade)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 20 g
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported when enabled by host hardware

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ slot on your switch, router or storage device by aligning the module with the socket and gently pushing until it latches. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly routed. Confirm that the host device recognizes the module and, if required, enable or verify digital diagnostic monitoring through the device management interface. For best results, match the fiber type and transceiver reach supported by both ends of the link.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve the expected short-range 10G performance. Verify host compatibility and DDM support in system documentation before deployment and observe ESD safety procedures when handling the module. Regularly inspect fiber connectors and keep dust caps on unused ports to maintain signal quality.
