SFP transceiver modul BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER-SO 40000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER-SO is a compact fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module engineered for long-distance, high-speed data links. Operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm, the module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s while maintaining a lightweight form factor of approximately 20 g. Its silver housing provides mechanical protection and compatibility with standard SFP+ ports, making it suitable for integration into modern network infrastructures that require stable optical connectivity.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a balance of high bandwidth and compact design, enabling efficient use of space in rack-mounted and modular networking equipment. The 1550 nm operating wavelength is suited for extended-reach fiber connections, and the SFP+ interface ensures broad compatibility with switches, routers, and optical line cards that accept SFP+ modules. Low weight and a standard mechanical form factor simplify installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Long-distance fiber optic links in metropolitan and campus networks
• High-bandwidth uplinks between switches and core routers
• Optical connections in data centers requiring extended reach
• Replacement or upgrade of SFP+ ports for improved optical performance

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40000 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1550 nm
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Colour: Silver

How to use

Install the module into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router, or network interface card, ensuring the module is oriented correctly and fully seated until it clicks. Connect the appropriate single-mode fiber cable with matching wavelength specifications and verify link status via the host device’s management interface. When removing the module, power down or disable the port if required by the host device’s maintenance procedures and gently extract the transceiver using the latch or pull-tab.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance performance, use single-mode fiber rated for 1550 nm and follow the host equipment manufacturer’s guidelines for optical power budgets and connector cleanliness. Handle the transceiver with care to avoid ESD and store unused modules in protective packaging to prevent contamination.
