Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 3HE05830CA-BO XFP LC Aluminium

The BlueOptics 3HE05830CA-BO XFP LC Aluminium is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10G high-speed data transmission over multi-mode fiber. The module uses an XFP interface with an LC duplex connector and is housed in an aluminium enclosure. Weighing approximately 20 g, it conforms to MSA form-factor conventions and is intended for use in network equipment that supports compatible 10GBASE-SR XFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module supports 10G optical transmission over multi-mode fiber with separate transmitter and receiver wavelengths at 850 nm, offering a compact XFP form factor and LC connectivity for duplex links. Constructed in aluminium and manufactured to MSA-compatible specifications, it provides a lightweight, industry-standard option for integrating 10G links in switches, routers and storage platforms. The transceiver is compatible with platforms that accept Alcatel/Nokia 3HE05830CA-equivalent 10GBASE-SR XFP modules.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10G Ethernet links over multi-mode fiber inside data centers and telecom rooms
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage arrays that accept XFP LC modules
• Upgrading existing network ports to 10GBASE-SR where LC duplex connections are used

Key specifications

• Interface type: XFP
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Typical wavelength: 850 nm (TX/RX for multi-mode fiber)
• Max. nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Typical reach on multi-mode fiber: up to ~300 m (depending on fiber type and link conditions)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: ~0.02 kg

How to use

Install the XFP transceiver into a compatible XFP port on switch, router or other network equipment while the device is powered according to the host vendor’s instructions. Use LC duplex multi-mode fiber patch cords to connect transmitting and receiving fibers; observe correct TX/RX alignment. After physical installation, verify that the host recognizes the module and that link negotiation completes at 10 Gbps. If the host supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or query the diagnostics to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, received power and temperature as available.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with the target hardware: confirm that the network device supports MSA-compatible XFP transceivers and, if required, Alcatel/Nokia 3HE05830CA-equivalent modules. Use appropriate multi-mode fiber (OM3/OM4 where required) and quality LC patch cords to achieve the expected reach and signal performance. Observe ESD precautions during handling and follow the host vendor’s installation and software recommendations for optimal operation.
