SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 740-066991-BO LC Aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 740-066991-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a single-mode fiber optic module for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. It uses an LC connector and an aluminium housing, weighs approximately 20 g and supports optical transmission over distances up to 10,000 m. The module follows MSA form-factor standards for SFP+ and is designed for use in network switches, routers and other compatible hardware that accept 10G SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver supports 10GBASE optical transmission for high-throughput links while remaining compact and lightweight. Its aluminium casing provides mechanical durability and thermal stability, and the LC connector supports simplex single-mode fiber connections. The module is manufactured to MSA-compliant specifications and is tested for compatibility with major networking hardware, offering diagnostic monitoring capability where supported by host equipment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Long-reach single-mode fiber connections up to 10 km
• Data center interconnects and server aggregation links
• Replacement or spare SFP+ ports in compatible network devices

Key specifications

• Interface: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+ format)
• Connector type: LC simplex for single-mode fiber
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 10,000 m (single-mode)
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when enabled by host device

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ module into an empty SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or transceiver slot until it latches. Connect an LC single-mode patch cable to the module and to the remote endpoint, observing correct transmitter/receiver orientation if using BX or wavelength-specific pairs. Verify link status on the host device and enable any required port configuration (speed, duplex, or SFP+ port options) in the network equipment management interface. If the host supports DDM/DOM, monitor optical parameters via the management interface or supported monitoring tools.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords of appropriate quality and length to achieve the stated maximum distance, and ensure end devices support the same optical standard and wavelength scheme. Keep the module and fiber connectors clean and protected when not in use to maintain signal quality and reduce insertion loss.
