BlueOptics SFP-10G-SR-BO 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Fiber Optic Transceiver Module for Cisco

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-SR-BO is a high-performance 10GBASE-SR SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission. Designed to be fully compatible with Cisco SFP-10G-SR hardware, this module facilitates seamless integration into existing network infrastructures, including switches, routers, and storage systems. It supports data rates of up to 10,000 Mbit/s over multi-mode fiber, ensuring stable connectivity for demanding professional environments.

Advantages

This transceiver module offers exceptional reliability and longevity, featuring high-quality components that ensure an operational lifespan exceeding 10 years. By adhering strictly to MSA standards, it provides full interoperability with Cisco hardware while offering a cost-effective alternative to original manufacturer optics. The inclusion of Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) allows for real-time tracking of critical parameters such as temperature, laser bias current, and optical power, significantly simplifying network maintenance and troubleshooting. Furthermore, its immunity to electromagnetic interference ensures consistent performance in complex data center setups.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet network connections
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet applications
• SDH/SONET data transmission environments
• Enterprise-grade switches, routers, and load balancers

When it may not be suitable

This module is specifically designed for multi-mode fiber applications and is not suitable for long-distance single-mode fiber links. Additionally, it is intended for hardware that officially supports the 10GBASE-SR standard; it may not function correctly in devices that do not meet the required electrical or software specifications for this transceiver type.

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Connector type: LC Duplex
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Maximum transmission distance: 300 meters
• Compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS, MSA

How to use

Installation is straightforward due to the hot-swappable nature of the SFP+ form factor. Simply insert the module into an available SFP+ port on your compatible networking device until it clicks into place. Connect your multi-mode fiber patch cable to the LC Duplex interface. Once connected, the device should automatically detect the module. Ensure that your network hardware settings are configured to support 10G speeds to achieve optimal performance. If DDM/DOM features are required, verify that your host hardware supports these monitoring functions.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports the 10GBASE-SR SFP+ standard.
• Ensure you are using the correct multi-mode fiber cabling for the 300-meter range.
• Check if your switch or router requires specific firmware updates for third-party transceiver compatibility.

Usage recommendations

For the best signal quality and link stability, always use high-quality fiber patch cords and ensure the optical connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Regularly monitor the DDM/DOM interface to proactively manage your network health.
