SFP Transceiver BlueOptics SFP-10G-ZR-CT-BO 1550 nm LC Silver

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ZR-CT-BO is a single-mode SFP+ transceiver module designed for long-range 10GBASE-ZR optical links. Operating at a 1550 nm wavelength with an LC duplex connector, this silver-coloured module supports 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over single-mode fiber and is RoHS compliant. The compact, 20 g form factor follows MSA SFP+ mechanical specifications and is intended for use in networking hardware that accepts standard SFP+ modules.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver provides support for 10G data rates over distances up to 80 km on single-mode fiber, enabling long-distance connections without electrical signal conversion. The LC duplex interface allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels on separate fibers. The module includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for remote measurement of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and device temperature, which simplifies monitoring and maintenance. Tested for interoperability with compatible hardware platforms, the module is built to MSA standards and uses qualified optical and electronic components to ensure stable operation and extended service life.

Suitable for

• Long-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Backbone and metro network interconnects
• Switches, routers and storage systems with SFP+ ports
• Optical links requiring digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM)

How to use

Install the SFP-10G-ZR-CT-BO module into any compatible SFP+ port following the host device manufacturer’s hot-swap and insertion guidelines. Use LC duplex single-mode patch cords to connect the transmit and receive fibers to the corresponding ports on the remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status through the host device’s interface and, if available, enable DDM/DOM monitoring to observe real-time diagnostic values for preventive maintenance. Ensure the host device firmware supports third-party SFP+ modules if required by the hardware vendor.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use low-loss single-mode fiber and clean LC connectors before mating. Keep transceivers in protective caps when not in use, and avoid bending fiber beyond recommended minimum bend radii. Confirm that both ends of the link use compatible 1550 nm ZR-class transceivers and that any inline amplifiers or DWDM equipment are configured correctly for a 1550 nm channel. When monitoring with DDM/DOM, compare measured optical power values against expected link budgets to detect attenuation or connector issues early.
