SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-BXU1-40-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BXU1-40-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode networks requiring up to 10 Gbit/s throughput. The module uses an LC simplex connector and supports bi-directional 10GBASE-BX-U transmission over single-mode fiber. Packaged in a metal housing and weighing approximately 20 g, the transceiver provides a compact form factor and is intended for integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other networking equipment that accept SFP+ modules compliant with MSA specifications.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP+ transceiver delivers 10 Gbit/s data rates over distances up to 40 km using 1270 nm/1330 nm transmitter/receiver wavelengths for bi-directional operation. The metal housing provides mechanical stability and EMI resistance, while an MTBF rating of around 1,000,000 hours indicates long operating life and reduced maintenance requirements. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support enables remote monitoring of parameters such as optical power and temperature where supported by host equipment. The module is designed to follow MSA guidelines for electrical and mechanical interoperability.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Long-distance server or storage connections up to 40 km
• High-speed links in data centers and carrier networks
• Replacement or upgrade of SFP+ optical ports in compatible network equipment

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-10G-BXU1-40-BO into a compatible SFP+ port following the host equipment manufacturer's insertion and removal procedures. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cord between the module and the remote transceiver, ensuring correct strand assignment for the bi-directional wavelengths (transmit 1330 nm to receive 1270 nm on the far end). Verify link status in the host device management interface and enable DDM/DOM monitoring if supported to observe real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature. Follow any firmware or compatibility guidelines provided by the network equipment vendor.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable 10 Gbit/s links, use single-mode fiber with appropriate loss budget and clean LC connectors. Confirm that the target hardware supports 10GBASE-BX-U SFP+ modules and DDM if remote diagnostics are required. Store and handle the module in accordance with ESD precautions and avoid exposing the optical ports to dust or direct sunlight. For critical links, validate performance with a sample installation and monitor the link parameters after deployment.
