XFP transceiver module BlueOptics 10G-XFP-SR-AL 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics 10G-XFP-SR-AL is an XFP transceiver module engineered for short-range fiber optic links with a maximum data transfer rate of 10,000 Mbit/s. Designed to operate at an 850 nm wavelength, this module supports multimode fiber connections up to approximately 300 meters. Its compact, lightweight silver housing facilitates installation in compatible XFP ports for data center switches, routers and network interface cards where 10 Gigabit Ethernet or other 10G serial links are required.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized XFP interface and supports high-speed 10 Gbit/s transmission over short distances, offering predictable performance for multimode fiber infrastructures. Its low weight and compact form factor reduce mechanical load on equipment racks and make handling easier during installation. Operating at 850 nm, it matches common short-range multimode fibers and typical optical budgets for 10G-SR applications.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Short-range multimode fiber connections up to around 300 m
• Upgrading switches, routers or transceivers to 10G XFP ports
• Redundant or spare port configurations for high-speed networks

How to use

Before installation, verify compatibility of the host device with XFP transceiver modules and ensure the device is powered down or follows the vendor-recommended hot-swap procedure. Insert the BlueOptics 10G-XFP-SR-AL module into the XFP port until it seats securely and fasten any retention mechanism. Connect multimode fiber cables with appropriate LC connectors, observing correct polarity. After insertion, confirm link status and configure the host network device for a 10 Gbit/s interface if necessary. Follow your network equipment’s firmware and diagnostics procedures to verify optical power and link integrity.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber (OM3/OM4) for reliable operation at 850 nm and distances up to about 300 m. Handle the module with antistatic precautions and avoid touching optical interfaces; keep dust caps on unused ports. Match transceiver specifications with host device requirements and monitor optical budgets and temperature ranges during deployment for stable 10G performance.
