SFP-transceiver BlueOptics SFP-10GBX40-U-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10GBX40-U-BO is a 10G SFP+ fiber optic transceiver designed for single-mode fiber networks. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and uses LC simplex connectivity for point-to-point optical links. Housed in a metal casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module is built to meet MSA mechanical and electrical standards and offers an extended MTBF of around 1,000,000 hours for long-term operation.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 10GBASE-BX-U compatible transmission with separate wavelengths for transmit and receive, enabling bidirectional data flow on a single fiber. Compliance with common MSA-defined SFP+ form-factor and industry approvals ensures interoperability with network switches, routers and storage platforms that support 10G SFP+ modules. The metal housing contributes to durability while the compact SFP+ format saves rack and port space. Integrated digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support enables remote real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and module temperature where the host device supports these features.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Long-reach optical connections up to ~40 km in data centers and campus networks
• Interconnecting switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP+ transceivers
• Environments where DDM/DOM monitoring is used for remote diagnostics

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on your switch, router or storage device until it latches. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cord matching the module's transmit and receive orientation or use an appropriate patch panel. Ensure the host device supports the required 10GBASE-BX-U protocol and, if needed, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the equipment management interface. Perform link validation and monitor diagnostic parameters to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC simplex fiber with correct polarity and clean connector end-faces to achieve optimal range and signal quality. Verify compatibility with your specific hardware platform and firmware version before deployment and, where possible, test a sample module in the target environment to confirm full functionality and DDM/DOM reporting.
