SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-XG-LH40-SM1270-BIDI-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-XG-LH40-SM1270-BIDI-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 10 000 Mbit/s. The module uses an LC simplex connector and implements bidirectional transmission using separate wavelengths for transmit and receive on a single fiber, supporting distances up to 40 000 m. Constructed to MSA-compliant form factor and interoperability standards, this compact 20 g silver module is suitable for use in compatible network equipment that accepts SFP+ optical modules.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 10GBASE-BX-U class performance over single-mode fiber with bidirectional operation on a single strand, reducing cabling needs. It supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power, aiding remote troubleshooting and maintenance. MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical design ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware that accepts SFP+ modules.

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port until it latches securely. Connect an LC simplex single-mode patch cord between this transceiver and the corresponding remote transceiver; ensure the remote end uses the complementary wavelength orientation for bidirectional operation. Verify that the host device supports third-party SFP+ modules or configure any required software settings on the switch or router. Monitor link status and diagnostics via the host management interface to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance performance, use single-mode fiber and low-loss LC patch cords, keep connectors clean, and verify that the connected equipment supports DDM/DOM if you need real-time diagnostics. Match the module’s wavelength orientation with the remote transceiver and maintain proper ESD handling when installing or removing the module.
