SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-HP-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-HP-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver designed for 10 Gbit/s network links. Compatible with HP devices, this compact silver module supports single-mode fiber connections via an LC connector and is specified for transmission distances up to 40 km. With a lightweight form factor and SFP+ interface, the module is intended for integration into switches, routers and media converters where long-reach 10 Gbit/s connectivity is required.

Advantages

This transceiver delivers a stable 10000 Mbit/s data rate over single-mode fiber with a maximum reach of 40 km, enabling long-distance uplinks without additional amplification. Its LC fiber connector and SFP+ form factor provide wide compatibility with standard network equipment. The low weight and compact dimensions simplify installation into rack-mounted devices and media converters while preserving port density.

• Colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-HP-BO module into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible HP switch, router or media converter. Ensure the host device supports 10 Gbit/s SFP+ transceivers and that the slot is powered down or supports hot-plugging per the equipment manual. Connect single-mode fiber with LC connectors, observing correct TX/RX orientation for the BX-U (bi-directional) configuration. After physical installation, verify link status in the device management interface and configure interface parameters such as speed, duplex and monitoring according to network design.

Recommendations

Use clean, undamaged LC connectors and follow manufacturer guidelines for fiber handling to maintain signal quality. For reliable long-distance operation up to 40 km, verify end-to-end link loss budget and use single-mode fiber of appropriate ITU/T standard. Confirm compatibility with the specific HP device firmware and update device drivers or firmware if required to ensure stable operation.
