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

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-SR-VA-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver module engineered for 10G optical links. It supports a maximum data rate of 10000 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 850 nm for multimode fiber connections. The module uses an SFP interface and an LC duplex optical connector format, has a small form factor and low weight (approximately 3 g), and requires a 3.3 V supply. It is intended for integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other networking equipment that accept SFP modules and support 10GBASE-SR optical transceivers.

Advantages

The module provides 10 Gbit/s optical connectivity over multimode fiber with a typical short-range reach. Its compact SFP form factor simplifies installation and hot-swapping in compatible network equipment. Built to MSA standards, the transceiver is designed to be functionally compatible with platforms that support the original reference transceiver. Low power requirement (3.3 V) and light weight contribute to efficient rack and device integration while digital diagnostics support remote monitoring of key optical and electrical parameters when the host hardware supports DDM/DOM.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet links in data center patching and server uplinks
• High-speed connections between switches and routers over multimode fiber
• SAN interconnects using Fibre Channel over Ethernet at 10 Gbit/s
• Short-range optical links within enterprise network rooms (multimode)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-10G-SR-VA-BO by inserting the module into a compatible SFP slot on the host device until it seats securely; follow the host manufacturer’s instructions for hot-swap operation. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s optical ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify that the switch, router or storage system recognizes the module and that the link negotiation establishes a 10G connection. If available and required, enable digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, optical output and received power, and module temperature.

Recommendations

Use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords for optimal reach and performance. Confirm host compatibility with 10GBASE-SR SFP modules and verify DDM/DOM support if remote diagnostics are needed. Avoid exposing the transceiver to contaminants or mechanical stress during handling and ensure proper dust caps are used when ports are unused.
