SFP transceiver BlueOptics 10G-SFP-BXU-S-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics 10G-SFP-BXU-S-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 10,000 Mbit/s and a maximum optical range of up to 20,000 m, this compact silver module uses an LC (UPC) fiber connector and is intended for installation in SFP+ compatible ports to extend high-speed network connections. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight form factor (approximately 20 g), it is suitable for data centre uplinks, metro and long-haul fiber segments where reliable 10 Gb connectivity is required.

Advantages

The module provides a standard SFP+ form factor for broad compatibility with switches, routers and media converters that accept 10 Gigabit SFP+ transceivers. Its LC (UPC) connector and specified 20 km reach enable use in longer fiber runs without intermediate regeneration. The high MTBF value indicates a design intended for continuous operation and low replacement frequency, while the compact, lightweight silver housing simplifies handling and installation in dense equipment racks.

How to use

Insert the transceiver firmly into an SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with LC (UPC) connectors to the transceiver, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure device firmware and vendor compatibility for 10 Gigabit operation and configure the port settings on the connected equipment as required (speed, duplex and optical diagnostics). Power down is not typically required for hot-pluggable SFP+ modules, but follow your equipment vendor's guidance when swapping modules in production environments.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach applications and maintain clean LC connector end-faces to avoid signal loss. Verify link budgeting and optical power margins for 20 km runs, and use vendor-verified compatibility lists when available. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and avoid excessive mechanical stress during installation.
