BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-AL-BO netwerk-transceivermodule 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-20-AL-BO network transceiver module is a 10 Gbit/s SFP+ fiber optic module designed for single-mode applications. Housed in a durable metal casing and compliant with RoHS and FCC standards, the module supports high-speed data transfer up to 10,000 Mbit/s while weighing only 20 g. It implements bidirectional (BiDi) transmission over a single fiber by using distinct wavelengths for transmit and receive channels, enabling efficient use of existing fiber infrastructure for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other 10 Gbit protocols.

Advantages

The module provides compact SFP+ form factor compatibility for switches, routers and storage systems, offering a high data rate in a small, metal-bodied package. BiDi wavelength division multiplexing doubles usable bandwidth on a single fiber run, reducing cabling requirements. Built-in digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) supports real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature to aid troubleshooting and maintenance. Designed for reliability, it uses quality components and meets MSA mechanical and electrical specifications for broad interoperability.

How to use

Install the transceiver into an empty SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or host adapter until it clicks into place. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cable with appropriate wavelength assignment so that transmit and receive wavelengths align with the remote BiDi module. Ensure network equipment supports SFP+ modules and BiDi operation; verify link negotiation and speed settings on the device. Use the host device interface or management software to view DDM/DOM diagnostic parameters for ongoing verification of link health.

Recommendations

Handle the module using ESD-safe precautions and keep dust caps on connectors when not in use. For best performance, use single-mode fiber and LC connectors rated for 10 Gbit/s, verify polarity and wavelength assignment before deployment, and monitor DDM readings periodically to detect signal degradation or environmental issues early.
