BlueOptics SFP-XG-LH40-SM1550-D-BO netwerk-transceivermodule 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-XG-LH40-SM1550-D-BO is a single‑mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet transmission using a 1550 nm wavelength. Housed in a durable metal casing and rated for a 3.3 V supply, the module is compact and lightweight (approx. 3 g) and supports long‑reach optical links. It implements LC duplex connectivity and follows MSA mechanical standards for SFP form factor compatibility with a wide range of network switches, routers and storage devices that accept standard 10GBASE‑ER/SFP+ modules.

Advantages

The module provides high‑speed 10 Gbit/s optical transmission over single‑mode fiber with a 1550 nm transmitter and receiver designed for extended reach. Its metal housing offers mechanical robustness and EMI resistance, while the standardized SFP interface ensures broad compatibility with network hardware that supports 10G optical pluggables. The low weight and compact size simplify installation in dense equipment environments. The module supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host supports these features.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device while the device is powered according to the vendor’s safe‑insertion guidelines. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords ensuring correct Tx/Rx alignment. Configure the host device for 10G operation if required and verify link status via the switch or router management interface. If the host supports digital diagnostics, enable or query DDM/DOM to monitor operational parameters. Follow all safety and handling precautions for fiber optics: avoid looking into the fiber ends and keep connectors clean to maintain link quality.

Recommendations

Use certified single‑mode fiber and high‑quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve the specified reach and signal integrity. Confirm compatibility with the target hardware platform and firmware version before deployment, and perform link tests after installation. Regularly inspect and clean connectors and verify DDM/DOM readings for proactive maintenance.
