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

The BlueOptics SFP-XG-LX-SM1270-BIDI-BO is a single‑mode SFP+ fiber transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s data transmission over a single optical fiber using bidirectional (BiDi) wavelengths. Operating at a 1270 nm wavelength for one direction and a complementary transmit wavelength for the opposite direction, the module supports high‑speed links up to 10 Gbit/s, offers a compact SFP+ form factor with LC simplex connector compatibility, and is designed to meet MSA standards for use in compatible network equipment. With a lightweight metal housing in silver and a rated MTBF around 1,000,000 hours, it is intended for long‑term, reliable use in data center and carrier networks.

Advantages

The module provides 10 Gbit/s performance in the small SFP+ form factor, enabling higher port density compared with larger optics. Bidirectional operation over a single fiber reduces fiber cabling requirements and simplifies link planning where duplex fiber is limited. Compliance with MSA interface standards and testing for compatibility with major vendor platforms supports predictable interoperability. Built with industry‑grade components and featuring digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support, the transceiver facilitates remote monitoring of operating parameters and contributes to extended operational lifetime.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on the network device until it clicks into place, following the device manufacturer’s insertion procedure. Connect an LC simplex single‑mode patch cable to the module and to the remote transceiver, ensuring correct fiber polarity for BiDi operation (matching wavelengths on transmit/receive ends). Verify link status from the host device and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters through the network equipment management interface to confirm proper optical power and temperature values.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single‑mode fiber and LC simplex patch cords rated for 10G operation and ensure that the network equipment firmware supports third‑party SFP+ modules and DDM/DOM. Maintain clean connector endfaces, avoid excessive bending of fiber cables, and verify transceiver compatibility with the host platform’s supported optics list when planning deployments.
