SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER-SM1330-BIDI-BO 40000 m

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER-SM1330-BIDI-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for long-distance 10 Gbps data transmission over single-mode fiber. The module supports bidirectional communication on a single fiber using LC simplex connector topology, and it is housed in an aluminium casing that keeps the unit lightweight (approx. 20 g) and mechanically robust for installation in network switches, routers and transport equipment. The transceiver is intended for links up to 40,000 m and implements the optical roles of a transmitter and receiver on different wavelengths to enable BX-D 10GBASE operation.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 10 Gbps line-rate capability with support for long-reach single-mode fiber connections up to 40 km. Its aluminium enclosure offers mechanical protection while keeping the module lightweight, and the LC simplex interface enables single-fiber bidirectional operation to reduce cabling. The module is designed to be compliant with common MSA SFP+ mechanical and optical profiles and includes digital diagnostics capability for real-time monitoring of key parameters when supported by host hardware.

Suitable for

• Long-reach 10 Gbps uplinks between switches and core routers
• Metro and WAN links over single-mode fiber
• Data centre interconnects requiring single-fiber bidirectional links
• Network hardware that accepts SFP+ transceivers with LC simplex connectors

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an appropriate SFP+ port on a switch, router or other compatible network device following the vendor’s hot-plug procedures. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cable between transceivers on each end of the link, ensuring the correct orientation for bidirectional wavelengths. Verify link status and, if available on the host, access digital diagnostics to monitor supply voltage, transmit/receive power and temperature. Observe standard ESD precautions when handling the module and protect the optical interfaces with dust caps when not connected.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and LC simplex patch cords rated for long-reach applications to achieve the specified 40 km distance. Confirm that the host device supports 10GBASE-BX-D bidirectional operation and DDM/DOM functionality if remote monitoring is required. Ensure proper transceiver pairing and wavelength matching on opposite ends of the link for reliable operation.
