XFP transceiver BlueOptics FXFP-85-BO 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics FXFP-85-BO is an XFP transceiver module for 10G optical links. It supports a maximum data rate of 10000 Mbit/s at an 850 nm wavelength, uses an XFP interface and LC duplex connections for multimode fiber. Housed in a durable metal casing and powered from a 3.3 V input, the module is compact and lightweight (approximately 4 g) for straightforward installation in compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

The module complies with common MSA-based XFP specifications and is designed for interoperability with a wide range of switches, routers and storage systems that accept 10GBASE-SR XFP transceivers. Its multimode 850 nm optics provide short-reach high-speed transmission up to typical multimode distances, while the metal housing gives mechanical durability and EMI shielding. Low weight and standard XFP form factor simplify replacement and upgrades in existing racks and line cards.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics FXFP-85-BO into any compatible XFP port according to the host device manufacturer’s instructions. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable between transceivers on the two endpoints, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and that the port is enabled; if necessary, consult the device configuration for enabling 10GBASE-SR operation. Observe manufacturer guidance on electrostatic discharge protection during handling and insertion.

Recommendations

For reliable short-reach 10G connectivity, use quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber patch cords and ensure clean LC connectors. Confirm that the target hardware supports XFP 10GBASE-SR modules and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, output power, received power and temperature in real time.
