SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-D-20-FR-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-D-20-FR-BO is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module designed for single-mode long-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. With a metal housing and a lightweight construction (approx. 20 g), the module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and implements bidirectional (BIDI) transmission over a single fiber using two wavelengths. The module is compatible with standard SFP+ ports and is intended for use in switches, routers and storage systems that require reliable optical connectivity in the second optical window (around 1270 nm / 1330 nm).

Advantages

The transceiver provides high-speed 10GbE connectivity in a compact SFP+ form factor and enables doubling of bandwidth on existing fiber through BIDI wavelength division multiplexing. Its metal housing ensures mechanical robustness and thermal stability while the module's compliance with industry MSA standards supports broad interoperability. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM / DOM) provides real-time status information for easier maintenance and fault finding.

How to use

Install the SFP-10G-BX-D-20-FR-BO into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or storage device following the host device manufacturer's hot-plug procedures. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber cable and ensure the paired BIDI module on the far end uses the complementary wavelength assignment. Verify link status via the host device and, if available, read DDM parameters for supply voltage, optical transmit power and received power to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable long-reach performance, use single-mode fiber of appropriate attenuation and ensure correct wavelength pairing for BIDI operation. Monitor DDM values to detect signal degradation early and follow the equipment vendor's guidelines for insertion and removal to avoid damage to the optical connector and module.
