SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP10GSRD 10000 Mbit/s SFP+ 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP10GSRD is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module engineered for 10 Gbit/s data links over multimode fiber using an 850 nm VCSEL light source. Designed for short-range connections in data centers and enterprise networks, this compact module provides a standard SFP+ interface for easy integration into compatible switches, routers and network interface cards. The module supports a 10000 Mbit/s line rate and is intended for reliable, low-latency fiber connectivity where short-distance high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver delivers a standardized hot-pluggable form factor with low power consumption and straightforward interoperability with equipment that supports the SFP+ interface. Operating at 850 nm, the module is optimized for short-reach multimode fiber links, offering predictable performance for high-throughput applications. Its compact design allows deployment in dense switch ports and server NICs without requiring additional configuration beyond standard port settings.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links inside data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections over multimode fiber
• Enterprise backbone segments and aggregation ports requiring 10 Gbit/s
• Upgrading existing SFP+ ports to support 10G multimode links

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Nominal data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Operating wavelength: 850 nm
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver
• Compatible fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF) for short-reach links

How to use

Insert the module into an SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or network interface card while the host device is powered on or according to the host’s hot-swap policy. Connect the multimode fiber cable using the appropriate LC connector and ensure correct fiber polarity. The link will typically negotiate automatically at 10 Gbit/s if both ends support the same standard. Follow your equipment vendor’s guidance for port configuration and verification using management interfaces or diagnostic LEDs.

Recommendations

Use multimode OM3/OM4 fiber for best short-reach performance and verify transceiver compatibility with the host hardware to ensure link stability. Keep fiber connectors clean and avoid excessive bending of the cable to maintain optical performance. For installation in dense racks, plan airflow and power budgets according to equipment specifications.
