SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-IT-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-IT-BO is a compact SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. Housed in a metal casing and compliant with RoHS and FCC standards, this module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s while maintaining a light weight of 20 g. The transceiver implements bidirectional (BIDI) single-fiber operation, enabling transmission and reception on different wavelengths to increase usable bandwidth over existing single-mode fiber links.

Advantages

The module offers high-density installation capability due to its SFP+ form factor and metal housing that provides mechanical stability and EMI shielding. BIDI technology allows operators to double the capacity of an existing fiber by carrying transmit and receive channels on separate wavelengths over a single fiber. The transceiver conforms to industry environmental and regulatory standards, ensuring broad interoperability and safe operation in mixed-vendor networks.

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or network interface and secure it until it clicks into place. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cable with the correct polarity and verify that the remote transceiver is using the complementary BIDI wavelength (one module transmits on the wavelength the other receives). Check the host device port status and use the digital diagnostics interface if available to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, optical output and receive power, and temperature. Follow your equipment vendor’s guidelines for enabling the port and configuring link speed and protocols.

Recommendations

Install and remove the transceiver only when the host port is powered down or per the vendor’s hot-swap instructions to avoid damage. Use clean single-mode LC connectors and perform connector cleaning and inspection before mating. Match BIDI wavelength pairs on both ends of the link and verify optical budget for the target link distance. Monitor DDM parameters periodically to detect degradation in optical power or temperature-related issues.
