Glasvezel-SFP-transceiver BlueOptics 10050-BO 100 m aluminium

The BlueOptics 10050-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for short-range high-speed connections. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this compact SFP module supports reliable data transmission over distances up to 100 metres. The module uses the SFP interface and is intended for insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and other network devices that accept MSA-compliant SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides mechanical protection and helps dissipate heat while keeping the module lightweight for easy handling and installation. As an SFP-form-factor transceiver, it offers a standardized connection method that simplifies replacement and upgrades in compatible network equipment. The design focuses on straightforward installation and predictable performance for short-distance fibre links.

Suitable for

• Short-range fibre optic connections up to 100 metres
• Edge and access switches with SFP ports
• Server and storage uplinks requiring compact transceivers
• Network hardware maintenance and module replacement

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 100 m
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 10050-BO by inserting the transceiver into a compatible SFP port until it locks in place. Connect the appropriate fibre patch cable to the transceiver’s optical port, ensuring correct connector type and polarity. Configure the host device’s port settings as required by the network (speed, duplex, and any vendor-specific settings) and verify link status through the switch or router management interface. For removal, release the transceiver latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the SFP slot.

Recommendations

Use factory-terminated fibre cables and keep protective dust caps on the transceiver when not in use. Verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP slot and follow the device vendor’s guidelines for transceiver support and firmware settings to ensure reliable operation.
