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

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-LS-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for single‑mode, long‑reach 10 Gigabit applications. Housed in metal and compliant with RoHS and FCC standards, this compact module supports up to 10,000 Mbit/s data rates while weighing just 20 g. The module implements bidirectional (BIDI) wavelength functionality for duplex communication over a single fiber and is compatible with common 10GbE and related protocols for use in switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

The module offers a small form-factor pluggable design with metal housing for reliable thermal performance and mechanical durability. BIDI technology enables transmission and reception on different wavelengths over a single fiber, effectively doubling bandwidth without new cabling. Compliance with industry standards and Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) support simplifies interoperability, monitoring and troubleshooting. Its low weight and MSA‑compliant SFP+ interface allow easy hot‑swappable installation in compatible network equipment.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-LS-BO into an empty SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or storage interface until it clicks into place. Connect an LC simplex single‑mode fiber cable configured for BIDI operation—ensure the correct fiber run matches the module's transmit and receive wavelengths. The module is hot‑pluggable; power cycling the host device is not required. Use the host system interface to verify link status and, if available, read DDM values for operational metrics such as temperature, optical power and supply voltage.

Recommendations

Install in equipment that supports the SFP+ MSA electrical and mechanical specifications; verify compatibility with the host vendor for BIDI wavelength assignments. Use single‑mode LC simplex fiber and maintain proper fiber cleanliness. Monitor DDM parameters during commissioning and under load to ensure stable operation and plan maintenance based on optical power and temperature readings.
