Transceptor SFP BlueOptics IE-SFP-10GE-SM-40-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics IE-SFP-10GE-SM-40-BO is a single-port SFP transceiver designed for 10 Gbit/s fiber optic links operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Housed in a metal casing and powered by a 3.3 V supply, this compact silver transceiver weighs approximately 20 g and supports single-mode fiber connections to reach long distances up to 40,000 m. The module conforms to SFP form-factor expectations and is intended for integration in switches, routers and other network equipment that accept SFP optics.

Advantages

The module provides a high maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s together with a single-mode 1550 nm optical interface, enabling long-reach connectivity while maintaining a compact metal housing for thermal stability and EMI resilience. Low operating voltage and lightweight construction simplify integration into existing hardware stacks. The SFP connector format ensures broad compatibility with devices that support standard SFP optics.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP slot on compatible network equipment, ensuring the device is powered off or that hot-plugging is supported by the host. Connect appropriate single-mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s SFP interface, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation, verify link status and configure the host port for 10 Gbit/s operation if required by the network device software. Monitor optical power and link diagnostics via the host system where supported.

Recommendations

Use matched single-mode fiber and appropriate 1550 nm patch cords to achieve the specified reach. Verify that the host equipment supports 10G SFP modules at 1550 nm and ensure firmware or driver compatibility if required. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and handle the metal module by its edges to prevent contamination of the optical interface.
