SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-XG-LH40-SM1550-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-XG-LH40-SM1550-BO is an SFP transceiver module for single-mode fiber networks offering up to 10 000 Mbit/s data rate at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a durable metal enclosure and operating at 3.3 V input, the compact module supports long-range links up to 40 000 m and uses an SFP+ style interface with LC duplex fiber connection. Lightweight and designed to meet common MSA standards, this transceiver is intended for integration into network devices that accept SFP+ form-factor optical modules.

Advantages

The module provides 10G transmission over single-mode fiber with optical reach suitable for long-distance links. Metal housing ensures mechanical robustness while the low weight facilitates handling and installation. Compliance with common SFP+ mechanical and optical standards enables broad compatibility with switches, routers and storage systems that support 10GBASE-ER type transceivers. The transceiver also supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) to monitor parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature when the host hardware exposes these values.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot of the network device while the device is powered down or following the manufacturer's hot-swap procedure. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and, if required, enable or configure 10GBASE-ER settings in the network equipment. If the platform supports DDM/DOM, use the host management interface or monitoring tools to read diagnostic parameters and confirm optical link health.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for 1550 nm to achieve the specified reach. Ensure the host hardware officially supports third-party SFP+ modules or provides an option to accept non-original transceivers. Keep fiber connectors clean and follow standard ESD precautions during handling and installation. For long-term stability, monitor DDM/DOM values and schedule periodic checks of optical power and temperature.
