SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics 400986-BO Fiber optic LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics 400986-BO is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module with an LC duplex connector in an aluminium housing. Weighing 20 g, the module is designed for 10 Gbps fiber links and for installation in network equipment that accepts SFP+ interfaces. Its aluminium casing provides mechanical protection and helps with heat dissipation, while the LC connector supports single-mode fiber connections for longer-distance optical transmission.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers a compact, MSA-compliant SFP+ form factor suitable for 10G data transmission over fiber. The aluminium body gives durability and thermal stability in rack environments. The LC duplex interface is widely used and compatible with standard single-mode patch cords. Weight and dimensions make the module easy to handle and install in switches, routers or storage systems that accept standard SFP+ modules.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber uplinks and server connections
• Inter-switch links over single-mode fiber
• Storage area network (SAN) and data center fiber connections
• High-bandwidth applications requiring SFP+ form-factor transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Connector: LC duplex (fiber optic)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Supported link type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Designed for up to 10 Gbps data transmission

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 400986-BO into a compatible SFP+ slot on the device while the host system is powered according to the equipment vendor’s guidelines. Connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cord to the module’s LC ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After installation, verify link status and module recognition in the host device management interface. Follow the host system recommendations for enabling any required protocols or transceiver settings.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the host hardware supports SFP+ modules and single-mode LC transceivers, and verify compatibility with the specific switch or router firmware. Use quality single-mode LC patch cords and, where available, support digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) on compatible hosts for monitoring optical parameters and temperature. Handle the module with ESD precautions and keep dust caps on connectors when not in use.
