BlueOptics SFP-10GE-BX40-D-BO netwerk-transceivermodule glasvezel SFP+ 40000 m

The BlueOptics SFP-10GE-BX40-D-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module engineered for 10G data transmission over long distances up to 40,000 m. The module uses a duplex LC Simplex optical interface with separate transmitter and receiver wavelengths (typical for 10GBASE‑BX‑D operation) and conforms to MSA form‑factor specifications. Its aluminium housing provides compact, lightweight construction (approx. 20 g) for easy installation in compatible SFP+ ports.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver supports long‑reach single‑mode links and is designed for interoperability with equipment that accepts MSA‑compliant 10GBASE‑BX‑D modules. The module implements optical transmit and receive channels at distinct wavelengths to enable bidirectional transmission over a single fiber, reducing fiber cabling requirements. Built with standard components and tested for compatibility, it provides digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real‑time monitoring of key parameters, and a rugged aluminium enclosure for stable mechanical and thermal performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber where long reach is required
• Interconnecting routers, switches, storage systems and load balancers with LC Simplex fiber cabling
• Networks that require bidirectional transmission on a single fiber (BX/D operation)
• Environments where DDM/DOM monitoring is used for remote diagnostics

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ (MSA compliant)
• Optical mode: Single‑mode fiber
• Connector type: LC Simplex
• Maximum reach: up to 40,000 m (40 km)
• Transmitter/receiver wavelengths: typical BX‑D pair (separate tx/rx wavelengths for bidirectional single‑fiber operation)
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Housing material: aluminium
• Supported protocols: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible high‑speed protocols
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10GE-BX40-D-BO into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or storage device, ensuring the module is fully seated and the latch engages. Connect an LC simplex single‑mode patch cable between the module and the remote transceiver or patch panel, observing correct orientation for the transmit and receive fibers. Verify link status in the host device and, if available, read DDM/DOM values for supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature through the management interface. Ensure that the hosting equipment supports 10GBASE‑BX‑D operation and DDM if diagnostic monitoring is required.

Recommendations

To achieve optimal range and signal quality, use single‑mode fiber and low‑loss LC connectors, avoid sharp bends in the fiber, and match the module to compatible transceivers at the remote end that support BX‑D wavelength assignment. Confirm DDM/DOM support in the host device before relying on remote diagnostics. For stable operation, follow the host vendor’s guidelines for hot‑swap handling and ESD precautions.
