SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-710SMZ-BO 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics AFBR-710SMZ-BO SFP+ transceiver module supports data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s at an operating wavelength of 850 nm. Designed for insertion into standard SFP+ ports, the module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for short-range fibre connections. The transceiver's beige housing and lightweight construction (approximately 20 g) make it suitable for high-density switch and server installations where space and airflow are considerations.

Advantages

The module delivers 10 Gbit/s performance over multimode fibre using an 850 nm optical source, providing predictable throughput for aggregation and access layer links. Its SFP+ form factor ensures wide compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ optical modules, and the hot-pluggable design allows for tool-free replacement or upgrades without powering down connected devices. Low weight and a standardized connector reduce mechanical strain on ports and simplify rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s links within data centers and server rooms
• Connections between switches, routers and servers with SFP+ ports
• Top-of-rack and aggregation layer deployments using multimode fibre
• Upgrading existing infrastructure to 10 Gbit/s where 850 nm optics are supported

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR-710SMZ-BO by inserting the module into a compatible SFP+ slot until it latches. Connect the multimode fibre patch cable with the appropriate connector to the transceiver optical interface. Verify link status through the host device's management interface and confirm proper signalling at 10 Gbit/s. To remove, depress the latch and slide the module out; handle by the module body and avoid touching the optical interface to prevent contamination.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode fibre and matched connectors to maintain optimal optical performance. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and keep the transceiver's dust cover in place when not connected. Ensure the host device supports 10 Gbit/s SFP+ modules and the chosen wavelength to guarantee link compatibility.
