SFP+ transceiver modul BlueOptics 7SM-500-BO optické vlákno LC hliník

The BlueOptics 7SM-500-BO is a lightweight SFP+ transceiver module for fiber optic connections. Constructed with an aluminium housing and equipped with an LC duplex interface, this module supports 10G optical links over multimode fiber with transmitter and receiver operating at 850 nm. Weighing approximately 20 g, it follows MSA mechanical and electrical form-factor standards and is intended for use in compatible networking equipment that supports 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules.

Advantages

The aluminium casing provides mechanical protection while keeping the module lightweight. Compatibility with SFP+ ports and adherence to MSA interface specifications enable plug-and-play replacement in systems that accept 10GBASE-SR transceivers. The 850 nm multimode laser pair supports short-range 10 Gbit/s optical links, and the LC duplex connector allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels on two fibers. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) capability is available when supported by the host device, enabling remote monitoring of supply voltage, temperature, transmit power and receive power.

Suitable for

• 10G short-range Ethernet links over multimode fiber (up to typical multimode distances)
• Integration in switches, routers, storage systems and other SFP+-compatible network hardware
• Replacement of 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules in systems requiring LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Wavelength: 850 nm (TX and RX)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Supported protocol: 10GBASE-SR (10 Gbit/s)
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostics support: DDM/DOM (if supported by host)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 7SM-500-BO into an SFP+ slot of a compatible network device while the device is powered down if the vendor recommends that procedure, or follow hot-swap guidelines if supported. Connect an LC duplex multimode patch cable between transceivers at each end of the link, ensuring correct TX/RX alignment. Verify link status and data rate on the host device management interface. If DDM/DOM is available and supported by the equipment, monitor supply voltage, temperature and optical power values for troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and, where applicable, clean fiber connectors before mating to achieve optimal optical performance. Confirm host device compatibility with third-party SFP+ modules and enable DDM/DOM support in the device firmware to access diagnostic data.
