Modulo ricetrasmettitore SFP BlueOptics SFP-10GE-BX40-U-BO fibra ottica SFP+ LC

The BlueOptics SFP-10GE-BX40-U-BO is a single-mode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver with an LC connector designed for 10GBASE-BX-U links up to 40 km. Constructed in an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module supports 10 Gbit/s data rates with separate transmit and receive wavelengths, and is intended for use in switches, routers and other network devices that accept MSA-compliant SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

The module follows MSA standards and provides a compact, low-weight solution for long-reach single-mode links. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive over a single fibre by using different wavelengths for TX and RX, and includes a design that facilitates interoperability with major hardware platforms. The aluminium housing offers mechanical durability while keeping the module lightweight for easy handling and installation.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and aggregation equipment
• Long-distance single-mode fiber connections up to 40 km
• Interconnects in data centers, telecom access networks and metro rings
• Replacement or spare transceiver for MSA-compliant SFP+ ports

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Distance: up to 40 km over single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC simplex
• Transmitter/Receiver wavelengths: wavelength-division for TX and RX suitable for BX-U operation
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host hardware provides support

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on the network device until it seats securely. Connect an LC single-mode patch cable between this transceiver and the remote transceiver or patch panel, observing proper fibre handling and cleanliness. Configure the host device port for 10G operation if necessary and verify link status and diagnostics through the device management interface. Ensure the host hardware supports BX-U SFP+ modules and, if needed, enable DDM/DOM monitoring to read real-time diagnostic values.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords and clean connectors before mating. Confirm compatibility with the target hardware and firmware; enable digital diagnostics on supported platforms for remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias, optical output and input power, and temperature. Store and handle the transceiver in a dry, electrostatic-safe environment and avoid bending optical fibres beyond recommended limits to preserve performance and link stability.
