SFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics SFP-XG-SX-MM850-S-BO 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-XG-SX-MM850-S-BO is a 10G SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-reach multimode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s over multimode fiber at a wavelength of 850 nm and uses an LC duplex connector. The module is supplied in a compact silver housing and has a nominal weight of 20 g. With a rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, this transceiver is intended for continuous operation in data center and enterprise networking equipment that accepts SFP+ MSA-compliant modules.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver provides 10GBASE-SR compatible performance for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections over multimode fiber. The LC duplex interface supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels, while the 850 nm wavelength is optimized for multimode fiber applications up to 300 m. The module's MSA-compliant form factor ensures interoperability with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems that support SFP+ optics. The specified MTBF offers a predictable operational lifetime for planning maintenance and replacement cycles.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-XG-SX-MM850-S-BO into any SFP+ slot that supports MSA-compliant optics and 10GBASE-SR operation. Ensure the host device's firmware or software permits third-party SFP+ modules if required. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's LC ports, observing proper polarity for transmit and receive channels. After insertion and physical connection, verify link status and negotiated speed on the host device. If available and supported by the host, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use IEC-compliant multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 recommended for 10G links near the upper reach limit), high-quality LC duplex patch cords and properly terminated patch panels. Confirm DDM/DOM support on the host hardware to enable real-time diagnostics. Avoid excessive bending or stress on fiber cables and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. For reliable long-term operation, deploy modules in equipment with appropriate cooling and clean fiber connectors before mating.
