SFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics SFP10G-BX1270-40-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP10G-BX1270-40-BO is a single-mode fiber SFP+ transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet and related high-speed optical applications. The module has a metal housing, an SFP+ (SFP) interface and operates from a 3.3 V supply. It implements bi-directional 10GBASE-BX-U transmission with separate transmitter and receiver wavelengths for single-fiber links and uses an LC simplex connector according to MSA standards. The module is compact and lightweight, suitable for installation in network switches, routers and other compatible hardware platforms that support SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver provides a 10 Gbit/s data rate in an SFP+ form factor with a durable metal enclosure and a weight of approximately 2 g. It supports single-mode fiber links using LC simplex connectivity and follows MSA specifications for physical compatibility. The module is compatible with common high-speed protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet where 10 Gbit/s performance is required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and storage area network interconnects
• Long-distance single-mode fiber links where bi-directional 10GBASE-BX-U is required
• Installation in network hardware platforms that accept SFP+ transceivers

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Connector type: LC simplex (single-fiber, bi-directional)
• Transmission: 10GBASE-BX-U bi-directional over single-mode fiber
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal
• Colour: silver
• Weight: 0.002 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap procedure. Connect a single-mode LC simplex fiber patch cable matching the transceiver's bi-directional wavelength assignment (transmit and receive on the single fiber) to the LC port. Ensure the host hardware supports 10GBASE-BX-U and SFP+ modules; enable any required port configuration in the device management interface. Monitor link status and, if available, use the digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) features of the host to check operating parameters.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC simplex patch cords and, where possible, verify compatibility with the target hardware vendor. Confirm that the receiving and transmitting wavelengths match the opposite transceiver in the link and that the host device supports DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required. Follow ESD handling procedures when installing the module and ensure proper physical and optical cleaning of connectors to maintain link quality.
