SFP+ transceiver BlueOptics AFCT-701SDZ 10000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics AFCT-701SDZ 10000 Mbit/s 1310 nm is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit connections over single-mode fiber. It supports a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm and a maximum data transfer rate of 10,000 Mbit/s, providing a compact, low-weight interface for high-speed network equipment. The module's SFP+ interface and standard form factor make it compatible with a wide range of switches, routers and server network cards that accept SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standardized SFP+ interface for plug-and-play installation in compatible ports and a compact silver housing with a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. Its operation at 1310 nm is suitable for medium- to long-reach single-mode fiber links, and the module supports the 10 Gbit/s class of Ethernet and other high-speed protocols. The small form factor reduces space requirements in networking equipment while maintaining industry-standard interoperability.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• High-speed uplinks between switches and data center equipment
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections requiring SFP+ modules
• Network upgrade projects that replace lower-speed optics with 10 Gbit/s transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Color: Silver

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFCT-701SDZ by inserting the SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ port until it seats securely; follow the host device manufacturer's guidelines for hot-plugging. Attach appropriate single-mode fiber connectors (LC duplex as commonly used with SFP+ modules) and verify correct transmit/receive orientation. After installation, confirm link status through the network device management interface and perform any required port configuration such as speed or protocol settings. When removing the module, power down the port if recommended and use the release mechanism to extract the transceiver safely.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber cabling rated for 10 Gbit/s and ensure fiber connectors are clean and undamaged before insertion. Verify compatibility with your network device vendor's supported transceiver list if the device enforces vendor checks. Maintain appropriate environmental conditions specified by the host device and avoid excessive force during insertion or removal to prevent mechanical damage.
