Transceptor SFP BlueOptics SFP-10G-ZR-CM-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ZR-CM-BO is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode links at 1550 nm and a maximum data rate of 10 Gbit/s. Housed in a metal casing and operating at a 3.3 V supply, the module implements an LC duplex optical interface and is intended for high-speed network equipment that supports MSA-compliant SFP+ optics. Its compact 3 g form factor and silver finish make it suitable for deployment in switches, routers, storage systems and other network appliances that require long-reach optical connectivity.

Advantages

The module supports 10GBASE-ZR-class transmission over single-mode fiber and is built to MSA mechanical and electrical standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of compatible hardware platforms. It uses proven optical and electronic components to provide stable long-distance performance and includes support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of operating parameters. The metal housing enhances mechanical durability and thermal behaviour while the SFP+ form factor preserves port density in rack equipment.

How to use

Install the transceiver into an appropriate SFP+ port on network equipment that explicitly supports MSA-compliant 10GBASE-ZR optics. Mate the LC duplex connector to single-mode fiber patch cords of the correct polarity and ensure proper routing to avoid sharp bends. If digital diagnostics monitoring is required, confirm that the host device supports DDM/DOM (SFF-8472) and enable monitoring in the management interface to read supply voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power and temperature. Follow standard ESD precautions and hot-plug procedures when inserting or removing the module.

Recommendations

For optimal long-reach performance, use quality single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for 1550 nm, verify link budgets accounting for fiber attenuation and connector loss, and perform initial optical power and BER testing. Maintain the module within the manufacturer’s specified ambient temperature and ensure the host platform firmware supports 10GBASE-ZR operation and DDM if monitoring is required.
