SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics DS-SFP-FC16G-SW-BO 16000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics DS-SFP-FC16G-SW-BO is an SFP+ transceiver module designed for high-speed optical data transfer up to 16,000 Mbit/s. It uses an 850 nm VCSEL transmitter and receiver for multi-mode fiber links, features an LC duplex connector and follows MSA specifications to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability with compatible hardware. The module supports Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications at up to 16 Gbit/s over distances up to 100 meters and is RoHS compliant.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP+ module is manufactured to MSA standards and undergoes compatibility testing with major Cisco platforms for plug-and-play operation where the original DS-SFP-FC16G-SW is supported. It includes high-quality components such as established lasers and ICs to deliver long service life and high MTBF. The module supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature. BlueOptics provides a 5-year functional warranty, lifetime technical support and an advance-replacement option to minimise downtime.

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or storage device while the host device is powered according to the vendor's instructions. Connect an appropriate LC duplex multi-mode fibre patch cord to the module and the remote device, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and, if available, read DDM/DOM registers to check operational parameters. Ensure the host firmware supports third-party or compatible modules if required by the hardware vendor.

Recommendations

Use quality OM3/OM4 multi-mode fibre patch cords and proper cable management to achieve the specified reach and signal performance. Confirm DDM/DOM support on the installed hardware to enable remote monitoring. Follow the equipment vendor's guidance for compatibility and firmware requirements when installing compatible transceivers.
