SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-GIG-SR-BO 10G 300m

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-GIG-SR-BO is a 10G SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-range multimode fiber links. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over multimode fiber to a maximum distance of 300 meters using an 850 nm VCSEL-based transmitter and receiver with LC duplex connectivity following MSA standards. The module is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP+ form-factor transceivers and supports 10GBASE-SR protocols.

Advantages

The module provides 10G data rates over multimode fiber with a compact SFP+ footprint and an aluminium enclosure for physical durability and heat dissipation. Compliance with MSA mechanical and electrical specifications ensures interchangeability with other SFP+ ports that support 10GBASE-SR. The transceiver supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when used in compatible host hardware, enabling real-time reporting of operating parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature for simplified maintenance and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber within data centers and campus networks
• Short-range fiber connections between switches, routers and storage systems
• Upgrading uplinks or server connections to 10G where multimode fiber is deployed

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Maximum reach: up to 300 meters on multimode fiber
• Wavelength: 850 nm (multimode VCSEL transmitter and receiver)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Housing: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host supports SFF-8472

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-GIG-SR-BO transceiver into an SFP+ port on compatible networking hardware until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC connectors ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and speed on the host device and enable or check DDM/DOM functionality in the device management interface if diagnostic monitoring is required. Follow the host vendor’s guidance for hot-plugging and module support to avoid compatibility issues.

Recommendations

Use graded multimode fiber (OM3 or OM4 recommended) and quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve the full 300 m reach and optimal signal quality. Ensure the network equipment firmware supports third-party SFP+ modules and that DDM/DOM is enabled on the host if remote diagnostics are needed. Handle the transceiver with care, keep dust caps on when not in use, and avoid touching the optical interfaces.
