SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-10G-SR-IA-BO 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-SR-IA-BO is a 10G SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-reach multimode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s at an operating wavelength of 850 nm. The module uses an LC duplex connector, is housed in a durable metal casing, operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g. It is built to comply with MSA SFP+ form-factor standards and includes support for Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) according to SFF-8472 when the host hardware exposes that functionality.

Advantages

The transceiver provides reliable 10GBASE-SR performance over multimode fiber with compatibility to a wide range of SFP+ ports that follow MSA standards. Its metal housing contributes to mechanical robustness and electromagnetic shielding. Integrated digital diagnostics support allows real-time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host device supports DDM. The compact SFP+ form factor and low weight make installation and replacement straightforward in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber (data center and campus aggregation)
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems supporting SFP+
• High-speed applications such as Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET up to 10 Gbit/s

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ (10G SFP+ form factor)
• Maximum data rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 850 nm (multimode operation)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Typical reach on multimode fiber: suitable for short-reach links (e.g., up to several hundred meters depending on fiber type and modal bandwidth)
• Power supply: 3.3 V
• Product colour: silver; housing: metal
• Weight: approximately 3 g

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-10G-SR-IA-BO into an SFP+ compliant port on a switch, router or storage device while the host is powered down or following the host's hot-swap procedure. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module's transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. If the host supports DDM, enable or query diagnostics through the device management interface to monitor operational parameters. Verify link status and negotiated speed in the host device's interface status pages.

Recommendations

Use matched multimode fiber and appropriate patch cords (OM3/OM4 for best 10G short-reach performance) and ensure proper polarity and connector cleanliness to achieve optimal signal quality. Confirm that the target hardware supports SFP+ modules and, if required, DDM access. For critical links, test the module in your specific hardware environment to validate compatibility and performance.
