SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-LR40-A-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+ 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-LR40-A-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for long-distance single-mode fiber links. It supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module comes in a metal housing, measures very little and weighs approximately 3 g, and requires a 3.3 V supply for operation. The transceiver uses an LC duplex interface and follows MSA-compatible SFP+ form-factor conventions for straightforward integration into compatible network equipment.

Advantages

The module provides reliable long-range optical transmission suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and similar high-speed protocols up to 10 Gbit/s. Its compact metal housing offers mechanical durability and thermal stability. The SFP+ interface and standard LC duplex connector simplify installation and replacement in switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ optics. Where supported by the host hardware, the transceiver offers digital diagnostic monitoring for real-time information on supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP+ 10GBASE-ER/10G optical modules and that firmware or driver policies permit third‑party transceivers. Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-LR40-A-BO into an empty SFP+ slot until it clicks into place, then connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the transmit and receive ports. Power on the host device and verify link status through the device management interface. If available and supported by the host, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to view real-time optical and electrical parameters for troubleshooting and link verification.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber cabling rated for the required distance and avoid tight bends or sharp kinks. Verify compatibility with the equipment vendor’s supported transceiver list and confirm DDM/DOM support in the host for access to monitoring data. For optimal long-distance performance, use high-quality fiber patch cords and, where applicable, test the link with appropriate optical power meters and error-rate testing tools before placing into production.
