XFP transceiver module BlueOptics 10G-XFP-LR-4-BO 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 10G-XFP-LR-4-BO is a 10 Gigabit XFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for long-reach single-mode links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and a maximum transfer distance up to 10000 m, this compact silver module uses an LC (UPC) fiber connector and is suited for integration into compatible 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. With a lightweight metal housing (approx. 0.02 kg) and a manufacturer-stated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, the module is intended for continuous operation in data centers and enterprise network environments where long-distance fiber connectivity is required.

Advantages

The module provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over long distances while maintaining low weight and a small form factor. Compatibility with Extreme Networks systems makes it suitable for mixed-vendor environments, and the high MTBF value indicates expected long-term reliability. The LC (UPC) connector ensures standardized fiber coupling and broad compatibility with single-mode fiber cabling.

Suitable for

• Long-reach single-mode fiber links in data centers
• Inter-building or campus backbone connections
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and aggregation ports
• Replacement or upgrade of existing XFP ports

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance: 10000 m (single-mode)
• Interface type: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (XFP form factor)
• Fiber connector: LC (UPC)
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the XFP transceiver into a compatible XFP slot on your switch, router, or media converter following the host device manufacturer's hot-swap and ESD handling procedures. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with LC (UPC) connectors to the module, ensuring proper transmitter-to-receiver alignment. Configure the host device's port settings for 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation if required; the module operates at the specified data rate when the host supports the interface and link parameters.

Recommendations

Ensure optical link budgets are calculated for the intended link distance and that single-mode fiber and connectors meet LC (UPC) specifications. Use ESD protection when handling the module, verify firmware and compatibility with the host device, and perform link tests after installation to confirm signal integrity and expected throughput.
