SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP993-1LD-BO Fiber optic SFP+ 10000 m

The BlueOptics SFP993-1LD-BO is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module designed for high-speed optical links over single-mode fiber up to 10,000 meters. Encased in an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 g, this single-unit transceiver provides a compact SFP+ interface suitable for network equipment that accepts SFP+ form-factor modules. It supports LC duplex connections and is intended for 10 Gigabit optical transmission in environments where reliable long-reach connectivity is required.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compliant SFP+ physical specifications, providing interoperability with a wide range of compatible network hardware. Its aluminium casing offers mechanical protection and thermal dissipation while the light weight simplifies handling and installation. Built for long-reach single-mode fiber operation, the transceiver enables stable 10 Gbps links over distances up to 10 km and is sold individually for flexible deployment and replacement.

Suitable for

• Long-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems supporting SFP+
• Data center uplinks and campus backbone connections
• Replacement or expansion of existing SFP+ transceiver ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 10,000 m over single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: ~0.02 kg
• Supported data rate: 10 Gbps (10GBASE-LR class)

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP+ transceivers and the 10GBASE-LR transmission class. Before insertion, power down the SFP+ port if recommended by the device manufacturer or follow hot-swap guidance provided by the host. Remove protective caps from both the transceiver and fiber connectors, then insert the module into the SFP+ slot until it latches. Connect LC duplex patch cords to establish the optical link and verify link status through the host equipment. For removal, unlock the latch mechanism and pull the transceiver straight out, then replace protective caps.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and maintain clean connector end-faces to minimize insertion loss. Confirm host compatibility for SFP+ modules and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor operating parameters. Store unused modules in protective anti-static packaging and avoid exposure to mechanical shock or contaminants.
