XFP transceiver module BlueOptics 718887-BO Fiber optic 10000 m

The BlueOptics 718887-BO XFP transceiver module is designed for fiber optic network connections supporting 10 Gbps links over single-mode fiber up to 10,000 m. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 20 g, the module implements an XFP interface with an LC duplex optical connector and complies with MSA physical form-factor expectations for XFP transceivers. It is intended for installation in networking equipment that accepts XFP modules and supports 10GBASE-LR performance.

Advantages

The compact aluminium housing provides mechanical durability while keeping the module lightweight for straightforward handling and installation. The module supports long-reach single-mode fiber transmission up to 10 km, enabling high-speed 10 Gbps connectivity for backbone and aggregation links. Built to MSA-compatible XFP dimensions and electrical interface conventions, it is suitable for use in devices that accept standard XFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps single-mode fiber uplinks and backbone connections
• Switches, routers and storage systems with XFP slots that support 10GBASE-LR
• Long-distance campus or metro interconnects up to 10 km
• Environments requiring compact, lightweight transceiver modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: XFP (XFP form factor and electrical interface)
• Supported link length: up to 10,000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps class (10GBASE-LR applications)
• Connector: LC duplex optical interface
• Housing material and colour: aluminium / aluminium colour
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Ensure the host device supports XFP 10GBASE-LR transceivers and that firmware or software allows third-party XFP modules if required. Power down or follow the hot-swap procedure recommended by the host device manufacturer, insert the module into a compatible XFP socket until it seats securely, and connect an LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable. After insertion, verify link status and data rate through the host device management interface and perform any necessary link tests.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber patch cords and LC duplex connectors rated for 10G applications and keep fiber connectors clean to maintain optimal signal quality. Confirm host compatibility and, where available, enable digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support in the host to monitor supply voltage, optical power and temperature for proactive maintenance.
