BlueOptics XFP-10GB-SR network transceiver module 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics XFP-10GB-SR network transceiver module provides 10 Gbit/s fiber connectivity for short-range links. Designed for use in data centers, aggregation switches and server uplinks, this 850 nm XFP module supports high-throughput connections over multimode fiber. The compact silver housing and lightweight construction (20 g) make it suitable for dense installations where space and weight matter.

Advantages

The module delivers a stable 10000 Mbit/s transfer rate over short distances using an 850 nm optical wavelength, ensuring low-latency and predictable performance for high-bandwidth applications. Its XFP interface is compatible with equipment that accepts hot-pluggable transceivers, allowing straightforward installation and replacement without system downtime. The small form factor and low weight reduce strain on module cages and enable efficient port density management.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics XFP-10GB-SR into an XFP-compatible port on your switch, router or transceiver cage while the host device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer’s hot-plugging guidance. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable with the appropriate connectors to the transceiver port, ensuring correct polarity and secure connections. After insertion, verify link status and speed on the network device management interface and perform any required configuration for the 10 Gbit/s interface.

Recommendations

Use this 850 nm short-range module with multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 recommended for optimal performance at 10 Gbit/s) and keep fiber connectors clean to maintain signal integrity. Follow the host equipment documentation for compatibility and supported link distances, and avoid mechanical stress on the transceiver to extend service life.
