SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics SFM10G-SR-BO 300m Aluminium

The BlueOptics SFM10G-SR-BO is a 10G SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range multimode links up to 300 meters. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 grams, the module uses an LC duplex connector and operates with 850 nm optical wavelengths for both transmit and receive, supporting standard 10GBASE-SR applications. The SFP+ interface follows MSA compliance and is compatible with equipment that supports the original Solarflare SFM10G-SR transceiver, providing Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity at up to 10 Gbit/s over multimode fiber.

Advantages

The module’s aluminium housing offers compact, durable protection while keeping weight low. Compatibility with SFP+ ports and LC duplex fiber connectors simplifies integration into switches, routers and storage systems that accept 10GBASE-SR optics. Built to MSA standards, the transceiver supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when used in hardware that exposes these functions. The BlueOptics module is intended as a drop-in alternative for platforms that support the Solarflare SFM10G-SR specification.

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+ port on compatible network equipment following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap and handling guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC ports, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive orientation. Verify link status and speed on the host device. If DDM/DOM is required, enable or query diagnostics via the host platform to monitor optical parameters in real time. Always observe ESD precautions and avoid touching the optical interfaces; keep dust caps on when the module is not connected.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the module with quality multimode fiber and appropriate patch cords rated for 10GBASE-SR and maintain clean connectors. Confirm host hardware compatibility with Solarflare SFM10G-SR-class SFP+ modules and verify software/firmware support for third-party optics if required. Use DDM/DOM only when the host exposes these diagnostics; otherwise rely on host link indicators and management tools for status and troubleshooting.
