SFP+-transceiver BlueOptics SFM-10G-SR 10GBASE-SR multimode 850nm

The BlueOptics SFM-10G-SR 10GBASE-SR multimode 850nm SFP+ transceiver is a compact optical module designed for short-range 10 Gbit/s links. It supports 10GBASE-SR transmission over multimode fiber at a wavelength of 850 nm and fits standard SFP+ ports for hot-plug installation. The module provides optical connectivity for switches, servers and storage devices in data centers and enterprise networks, offering interoperability with common SFP+ host interfaces and straightforward deployment.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers a compact form factor and hot-pluggable operation for rapid replacement or upgrade without powering down equipment. It is optimized for short-reach multimode fiber links at 10 Gbit/s, delivering reliable optical transmission at 850 nm. The module is engineered for compatibility with standard SFP+ cages and connectors, simplifying installation and reducing integration effort. Low power consumption and standard electrical/optical interfaces help maintain predictable system performance.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on the switch, server or storage device until it clicks into the cage. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords with correct polarity to the transceiver. Verify link status through the host device management interface and monitor optical parameters if supported. For replacement, remove the module while the host is powered and insert the new unit, then confirm link re-establishment.

Recommendations

Use appropriate multimode fiber types (OM3 or OM4) and high-quality LC duplex patch cords to achieve expected short-range performance. Ensure compatible SFP+ host firmware and port settings for 10GBASE-SR operation. Avoid bending or contaminating fiber connectors; clean end faces before mating to maintain link quality.
