Glasvezel-transceivermodule BlueOptics 37973010-BO SFP+ LC aluminium 20g

The BlueOptics 37973010-BO SFP+ LC Aluminium 20g is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s optical links using an LC duplex connector. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP+ module follows MSA form-factor conventions and is intended for single-mode fiber applications over extended distances. The module integrates a transmitter and receiver operating at the standard wavelengths used for long-reach 10GBASE-LR links and supports common high-speed protocols used in networking and storage environments.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP+ module provides a compact, industry-standard interface for establishing 10 Gbit/s optical connections while keeping weight and size low. The aluminium enclosure offers mechanical durability and thermal stability for rack-mounted and modular network equipment. Designed for MSA compatibility, the module can be used as a direct replacement in systems that accept SFP+ LC transceivers and supports diagnostics where host hardware implements digital diagnostic monitoring.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links between switches and routers
• Fibre Channel and storage-area network uplinks
• Long-reach single-mode fiber connections in campus and metro networks
• Mixed-vendor environments requiring MSA-compatible SFP+ transceivers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Connector: LC duplex
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: ~20 g

How to use

Insert the SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or other networking device until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode patch cord(s) between the module and the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel, observing correct send/receive orientation. Ensure the host device supports the SFP+ module and, if needed, enable or verify digital diagnostic monitoring in the device firmware to access real-time parameters. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s guidance for hot-plug insertion and removal to avoid damaging the transceiver or port.

Recommendations

Use low-loss single-mode fiber and properly rated LC duplex patch cords for optimal range and signal quality. Verify that the network hardware firmware supports SFP+ modules from third-party vendors if remote management or DDM/DOM is required. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and protect fiber connectors with dust caps when not connected.
