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

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-QL-BO is a single‑mode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other 10 Gbit/s applications. Housed in metal and compliant with RoHS and FCC standards, this compact module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and a maximum fiber link distance of up to 20,000 meters using an LC connector. Weighing approximately 20 g, the module is suitable for integration into switches, routers, media converters and storage systems where space‑efficient, long‑reach optical connectivity is required.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver provides long‑reach single‑mode connectivity with bidirectional (BIDI) wavelength support to double bandwidth over an existing fiber by using two wavelengths on a single strand. The metal housing ensures mechanical durability and thermal stability while compliance with RoHS and FCC covers environmental and electromagnetic requirements. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality is supported for real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, received power and temperature, aiding network troubleshooting and maintenance.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or media converter while the host equipment is powered down or following hot‑swap guidelines of the equipment vendor. Connect an LC single‑mode fiber cable to the module ensuring correct polarity and clean, undamaged connectors. Configure the network device for 10GbE operation and verify the link status via the host interface. Use the device's management tools or SNMP to read DDM/DOM parameters for online monitoring of optical power and module health.

Recommendations

To maintain performance and reliability, use single‑mode fiber rated for long‑reach links, keep LC connectors clean and inspect fibers before mating. Match BIDI wavelengths correctly when pairing transmit and receive modules on opposite ends of the link. Monitor DDM/DOM values periodically to detect early signs of degradation and follow vendor guidance for supported optics and firmware compatibility with your network hardware.
