SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 7SN-500-BO Fiber optic LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics 7SN-500-BO is a 10G SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module with an LC duplex connector and an aluminium housing. Designed for single-mode fiber links, it supports 10GBASE-LR transmission for distances up to 10 kilometers and weighs approximately 20 g. The module follows MSA standards and is intended for use in network switches, routers, storage systems and other hardware platforms that accept SFP+ 10GBASE-LR modules.

Advantages

The aluminium casing provides mechanical durability and thermal dissipation in a compact, lightweight form factor. The SFP+ interface enables hot-pluggable 10 Gbps connectivity while maintaining compatibility with equipment that supports 10GBASE-LR modules. The LC duplex connector allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels on separate fibers. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support provides real-time readouts of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature when the host hardware supports these diagnostics.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps over single-mode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Longer reach uplinks and campus backbone segments (up to 10 km)
• Environments requiring hot-pluggable SFP+ modules with LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Form factor: SFP+ transceiver
• Transmission standard: 10GBASE-LR (single-mode fiber)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Wavelength (typical): 1310 nm transmit and receive
• Maximum link length: up to 10 km (single-mode fiber, depending on fiber and link budget)
• Housing: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported when host hardware provides the interface

How to use

Install the transceiver into any SFP+-compatible port according to the host device instructions; the module is hot-pluggable so it can be inserted or removed without powering down most systems. Connect LC duplex patch cords to the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) ports, ensuring correct polarity. Verify link status and speed on the host device. If DDM/DOM functionality is required, enable or read diagnostics through the host management interface to monitor voltage, temperature and optical power levels.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords and follow the host vendor's transceiver compatibility guidelines. Ensure fiber polarity is correct and keep connectors clean to maintain optical performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports 10GBASE-LR and DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are needed.
