SFP-transceiver module BlueOptics SFP993-1LH-AS-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP993-1LH-AS-BO is a single-mode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver designed for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet and compatible high-speed optical links. Housed in a metal enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, this module supports LC duplex connections and offers an extended operational lifetime with an MTBF of around 1,000,000 hours. It transmits and receives at 1310 nm and is intended for long-reach links up to 40 km when used with appropriate single-mode fiber.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized SFP+ interface suitable for hot-pluggable installations and MSA-compliant interoperability with a wide range of network equipment. Its metal housing supports thermal stability and mechanical durability while the low weight simplifies handling and installation. Built-in digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) capability enables real-time monitoring of optical parameters where the host hardware supports it. The combination of standardized design and tested component selection contributes to long service life and reliable optical performance for backbone and long-reach links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Long-reach connections up to 40 km between switches and routers
• Data center uplinks and inter-rack connections
• Fiber connections in telecom and campus networks requiring LC duplex

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP993-1LH-AS-BO by inserting the SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or other networking equipment while the device is powered on or off following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions for hot-plug handling. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Configure the host interface according to the network equipment’s interface settings and verify link status. If available, enable digital diagnostics on the host system to monitor supply voltage, temperature, transmitted and received optical power and laser bias current in real time.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and an LC duplex patch cord rated for long-reach links to achieve the stated distances. Verify that the target hardware supports SFP+ modules and, if DDM/DOM monitoring is required, confirm host compatibility. Avoid exposing the module to excessive mechanical stress or non-ambient temperatures; store and operate it within the equipment manufacturer’s environmental specifications. For critical links, test the module in your environment to confirm performance and compatibility before large-scale deployment.
