SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics GP-SFP-10GBX-U-40-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics GP-SFP-10GBX-U-40-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links with a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. The module uses an LC simplex connector and supports 10GBASE-BX-U transmission over distances up to 40 kilometers. Housed in a durable silver metal casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the transceiver provides high-density, hot-pluggable connectivity for compatible network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers industry-standard electrical and mechanical compliance with MSA specifications, ensuring interoperability with major vendors’ switches, routers and storage systems that accept compatible 10GBASE-BX-U modules. The module supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time access to parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, received input power and temperature, which simplifies remote troubleshooting and maintenance. Built with high-quality optical and electronic components, the transceiver is specified for long operational lifetime and a high mean time between failures (MTBF), providing stable performance in demanding network environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet aggregation links over single-mode fiber
• Long-reach point-to-point connections up to 40 km
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics GP-SFP-10GBX-U-40-BO into a compatible SFP+ slot on your network device while the device is powered on or off, following the hardware vendor’s guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Connect a single-mode LC patch cable between transceivers to establish the optical link, ensuring correct fiber polarity and that the remote end uses the complementary wavelength pairing for BX-U operation. Verify link status through the host device management interface and consult DDM readings to confirm proper optical levels and module health.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance links, use single-mode fiber of appropriate grade and high-quality LC patch cords. Ensure the host device firmware supports third-party SFP+ modules and DDM reporting for full functionality. Observe ESD handling precautions when installing or removing the transceiver, and avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended radii to maintain signal integrity.
