SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-10GBASE-ER-40 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-10GBASE-ER-40 is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module engineered for long-reach 10 Gbit/s data links over single-mode fiber. Operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm, this module supports up to 10000 Mbit/s and is intended for applications where high bandwidth and stable, low-latency transmission are required. Compact and hot-pluggable, it fits SFP+ cages and is suitable for network switches, routers and optical transport equipment that accept SFP+ form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver provides long-distance transmission capability using 1550 nm optics while maintaining a standardized SFP+ interface for broad compatibility. Its support for 10000 Mbit/s ensures full 10 Gigabit Ethernet throughput, and the compact SFP+ form factor enables flexible deployment in high-density networking hardware. The module’s design minimizes insertion and operational complexity thanks to hot-pluggable installation and straightforward fiber connections.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber for campus and metropolitan networks
• Long-reach connections between data centers and central offices
• Aggregation and backbone segments in enterprise and carrier networks
• Optical transport equipment and SFP+ compatible switches and routers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Operating wavelength: 1550 nm
• Transmission reach: designed for long-distance single-mode fiber links
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10GBASE-ER-40 into a compatible SFP+ port while the host device is powered on or off according to the equipment manual; the module is hot-pluggable but follow the switch or router vendor’s guidance to avoid link interruptions. Connect single-mode fiber using appropriate connectors (typically LC) and ensure correct polarity. Configure the host device for 10 Gbit/s operation if required and verify link status and diagnostics through the network equipment interface.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and certified connectors to achieve specified reach and performance. Verify compatibility with the host device and consult link budget calculations for long-distance deployments. Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver and keep optical ports capped when not in use to protect them from contamination.
