SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER-QN-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER-QN-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s data transmission over single-mode fiber at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a durable metal case and operating from a 3.3 V supply, this compact module has a lightweight design and an LC duplex optical interface that supports long-distance connections and standard MSA-compatible installation in network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver supports 10GBASE-ER operation with simultaneous transmit and receive channels on 1550 nm, enabling high-speed links up to long-reach distances. The module is manufactured to industry MSA standards and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for real-time status on supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature. The metal housing and standardized form factor ensure mechanical robustness, compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems, and straightforward hot-pluggable replacement.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s long-reach Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Interconnection of switches, routers and storage systems in data centers
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and SDH/SONET high-speed applications
• Network upgrades requiring MSA-compliant SFP+ modules with LC duplex connectors

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER-QN-BO into an MSA-compliant SFP+ slot on compatible network hardware while the host device is powered on or following the vendor’s hot-plug procedure. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct fiber polarity. Verify link establishment and check DDM values from the host management interface if supported. Follow the equipment vendor’s guidelines for ESD protection, insertion/removal procedures and firmware compatibility when installing third-party transceivers.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and, where possible, patch panels or certified fiber links to realize the module’s specified reach and performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports 10GBASE-ER SFP+ modules and DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required. For critical links, verify optical budget and attenuators where necessary to avoid receiver overload and ensure stable signal levels.
