Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics R9D17A-BO 100m Aluminium

The BlueOptics R9D17A-BO 100m Aluminium is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single‑port gigabit connectivity over copper and short-reach fiber links up to 100 meters. Encased in a lightweight aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 grams, the module follows MSA form‑factor specifications and supports 1000BASE‑T operation with an RJ45 interface. It is intended as a compatible replacement for modules that follow the Aruba R9D17A 1000BASE‑T profile, providing Ethernet and related high‑speed protocol support with a compact, durable design.

Advantages

The module combines a standardized SFP interface with tested compatibility for hardware platforms that accept Aruba R9D17A‑profile transceivers, enabling plug‑and‑play replacement without device reconfiguration in many systems. Its aluminium housing offers mechanical protection while keeping weight low for dense installations. BlueOptics units are built using industry‑grade components and undergo compatibility and functional tests to ensure stable operation and extended service life.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics R9D17A‑BO SFP module into a compatible SFP port on the host device until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate RJ45 patch cable or compatible BlueOptics fiber patch cord and verify link activity through the host device’s port LEDs or management interface. If the host supports Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable the diagnostics function in the device software to monitor supply voltage, temperature, laser bias/current and optical power in real time. Follow the host vendor’s guidance for hot‑swap handling and electrostatic precautions when installing or removing the transceiver.

Recommendations

Verify host compatibility with Aruba R9D17A‑profile SFP modules before deployment, use high‑quality patch cords and connectors to preserve link performance, and enable DDM/DOM monitoring where available to aid remote troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.
