Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 3HE00566CA-BO XFP 300m

The BlueOptics 3HE00566CA-BO XFP 300m is a fiber optic XFP transceiver module designed for high-speed optical data transmission over multimode fiber. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this module conforms to MSA XFP form factor expectations and provides a short-range 10G optical link with LC duplex connection for duplex transmit/receive operation. It supports transmission distances up to 300 metres and is intended for use in equipment that accepts XFP modules and the 10GBASE-SR optical protocol.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact, lightweight aluminium design that helps with heat dissipation and mechanical robustness. It implements the 10GBASE-SR optical standard on multimode fiber and provides simultaneous transmit and receive channels via an LC duplex interface. The module’s XFP interface and adherence to MSA standards support compatibility with network hardware that accepts XFP transceivers, enabling plug-and-play replacement in systems designed for 10G short-range optics.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber up to 300 m
• Short-range Fibre Channel over Ethernet interconnects
• 10G connections between switches, routers, and storage systems
• Equipment platforms that accept XFP modules and 10GBASE-SR optics

Key specifications

• Form factor: XFP
• Optical standard: 10GBASE-SR (short reach)
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 300 metres on multimode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Wavelength: 850 nm (multimode operation)

• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Install the module into a compatible XFP slot in your network device following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap or insertion procedures. Connect an appropriate LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the module’s LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify that the host hardware supports 10GBASE-SR optics and enable any required interface settings in the device management interface. Monitor link status indicators on the device to confirm an active 10G connection.

Recommendations

For reliable results, use certified multimode fiber cabling and LC duplex patch cords rated for 10G transmission. Confirm host device compatibility with XFP 10GBASE-SR modules and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor supply voltage, temperature, transmit and receive power. Handle the transceiver with ESD precautions and store unused ports with dust caps to protect optical interfaces.
