SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-10G-ZRO-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ZRO-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 10 Gbit/s data transmission over single-mode fiber. Operating at a 1550 nm wavelength, this compact metal-cased module supports long-reach links while requiring a 3.3 V supply and weighing approximately 3 g. It implements an LC duplex optical interface and adheres to MSA-compatible form factor and signaling, making it suitable for integration in a wide range of network equipment that accepts SFP+ 10GBASE-ZR modules.

Advantages

The module delivers high-speed 10 Gbit/s throughput and long-distance performance at 1550 nm while being compact and lightweight. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal conduction for stable operation. Designed to match MSA standards, the transceiver offers broad compatibility with equipment that supports 10GBASE-ZR SFP+ optics. Low power requirement (3.3 V) and small form factor simplify installation and replacement in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Long-reach 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• High-speed campus and metro optical links
• Fiber uplinks in data centers and carrier networks

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-ZRO-BO module into any compatible SFP+ port until it seats firmly and the latch engages. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module’s connectors making sure transmit and receive fibers are correctly routed. Ensure the host device supports 10GBASE-ZR optics and provides a 3.3 V supply on the SFP+ slot. After installation, verify link status and run any vendor-specific diagnostics or LED indicators to confirm the link is active.

Recommendations

For optimal long-reach performance, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation characteristics and high-quality LC duplex patch cords. Confirm DDM/DOM support on the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, output/received power and temperature. When replacing modules, power down or follow hot-swap instructions from the equipment vendor and avoid touching the optical interfaces; keep dust caps on until connections are made.
