SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-6181-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-6181-BO is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber links that require 10 Gbit/s class performance. It operates at a central wavelength of 1550 nm, supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and is built into a durable silver metal housing. The module uses the SFP interface standard and is powered by a 3.3 V supply while weighing approximately 3 g, making it suitable for high-density networking equipment where space and weight matter.

Advantages

This transceiver provides high-speed optical data transmission over long distances using a 1550 nm wavelength and an LC duplex-style optical connection (compatible with SFP form-factor hardware). Its metal casing ensures mechanical robustness and heat dissipation in rack-mounted switches and routers. The compact SFP form factor and low weight simplify installation in equipment with limited module slots and help maintain proper port density.

Suitable for

• 10G network uplinks between switches and routers
• Long-reach single-mode fiber links in data centers and carrier networks
• Fiber connections for storage systems and SAN aggregation
• Replacement or expansion modules for SFP-compatible network equipment

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP form factor
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s class)
• Operating wavelength: 1550 nm
• Power supply: 3.3 V input voltage
• Module housing: metal, silver colour
• Weight: approx. 0.003 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-6181-BO into any compatible SFP slot on switches, routers or other network devices while the host device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-plug procedure. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords with LC duplex connectors to the transceiver’s optical ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the host device firmware or driver supports the SFP module and verify link status through the device interface. For systems that support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable and read diagnostic parameters if available to monitor signal levels and module temperature.

Usage recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords matched to the intended link distance and attenuation budget. Verify compatibility with the target networking hardware and, where possible, test the module in your environment before full deployment. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, confirm that the host equipment supports accessing module diagnostics.
