SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 954746-BO Fiber optic 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 954746-BO SFP+ transceiver module is a fiber optic 10GBASE-SR compatible pluggable transceiver designed for short-range multimode fiber links with a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. Housed in a durable silver metal enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, the module follows MSA SFP+ form-factor conventions and provides a duplex LC connector for simultaneous transmit and receive operation. The unit is intended for use in network equipment that supports SFP+ 10GBASE-SR optics and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when the host hardware enables that function.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 10 Gbit/s optical connectivity with a compact SFP+ form factor and a metal housing that offers mechanical robustness and EMI shielding. It supports standard multimode fiber short-range links and provides real-time diagnostic information through DDM/DOM when supported by the host, enabling easier remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature. The module’s construction and component selection aim for long service life and high availability, reflected in a manufacturer-stated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links over multimode fiber (10GBASE-SR)
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server uplinks in data centers and enterprise networks
• High-speed storage area network connections and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• Use in hardware platforms that accept SFP+ 10GBASE-SR modules with LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Connector type: LC duplex (optical)
• Optical type: multimode fiber, 850 nm wavelength (10GBASE-SR)
• Housing: metal, silver color
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Diagnostic features: digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (if enabled by host)
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+ port of a compatible switch, router, server or storage device according to the host device manufacturer’s instructions. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s TX and RX ports, ensuring correct fiber polarity. Verify that the host system recognizes the module and that link status and speed are negotiated at 10 Gbit/s. If DDM/DOM is required, enable the diagnostic function in the host (if supported) to read real-time parameters such as optical power, laser bias current and temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and matched LC duplex patch cords for optimal link reach and performance. Confirm host compatibility with 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optics before deployment and perform link tests after installation. Store and handle the transceiver in a dry, ESD-safe environment and avoid touching the optical interfaces; use protective dust caps when the ports are not connected.
