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

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-SP-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. The module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and a maximum optical reach of up to 20000 m over single-mode fiber using an LC simplex connector. Housed in a metal enclosure and compliant with RoHS and FCC standards, this compact transceiver weighs approximately 20 g and fits standard SFP+ slots for use in switches, routers and storage systems. It implements bidirectional (BIDI) wavelength operation to enable data transmission and reception on two wavelengths over a single fiber, increasing bandwidth without new cabling.

Advantages

The transceiver offers long-distance single-mode connectivity with BIDI technology, allowing both transmit and receive channels on a single fiber to double usable capacity. Its metal housing provides durability and electromagnetic shielding while meeting RoHS and FCC requirements for regulatory compliance. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support enables real-time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output and input power, and temperature, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting. The module is fully MSA-compliant, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network hardware equipped with SFP+ ports.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-SP-BO into a compatible SFP+ port on your network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-plug instructions. Connect the LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cable using the appropriate wavelengths for transmit and receive on the corresponding ports. Verify link status on the host device and use supported management tools to read DDM/DOM parameters for operational verification. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for handling electrostatic-sensitive components and avoid applying excessive force when seating or removing the module.

Recommendations

Use this transceiver in environments that match its single-mode specifications and temperature range as defined by your system vendor. To achieve reliable long-distance links, ensure proper fiber end-face cleanliness and use compatible SFP+ ports that support DDM/DOM and BIDI operation. Regularly monitor diagnostic parameters to detect signal degradation early, and keep spare modules available to minimize downtime during maintenance or replacement.
