SFP+ transceiver module BlueOptics AP823A 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics AP823A is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gb/s links using an 850 nm wavelength. Intended for short-range multimode fiber connections, this compact plug-in module supports 10000 Mbit/s throughput and fits standard SFP+ ports to enable high-speed data transmission in switches, routers and servers. The module is designed for use in network environments where reliable optical connectivity and straightforward hot-pluggable installation are required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact form factor and compatibility with common SFP+ ports, facilitating straightforward upgrades of existing equipment. Operating at 850 nm, it is optimized for multimode fiber and short-reach applications, providing low-latency data transfer at up to 10000 Mbit/s. Hot-pluggable capability allows installation or replacement without powering down equipment, helping to minimize maintenance windows and downtime.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 GbE links over multimode fiber in data centers
• High-speed uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server connectivity in rack environments requiring SFP+ interfaces
• Equipment upgrades where compact SFP+ transceivers are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ modular transceiver
• Wavelength: 850 nm for multimode fiber
• Maximum data rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gb/s)
• Application range: short-reach multimode fiber links
• Hot-pluggable design for live insertion and removal

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ slot on your network device until it locks in place. Connect an appropriate multimode fiber patch cable with matching LC connectors to the module’s optical port. Ensure that the connected equipment is configured for 10 Gb/s operation and that transceiver settings such as duplex and link parameters match the remote end. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful optical link establishment.

Recommendations

Use multimode OM3/OM4 fiber for best short-reach performance at 10 Gb/s and keep fiber connectors clean to avoid signal loss. Verify compatibility with your switch or router vendor guidelines for third-party SFP+ modules and perform insertion or removal while following ESD precautions. For consistent performance, avoid bending fiber beyond manufacturers’ minimum bend radius and ensure patch panels and cable routes are properly managed.
