XFP transceiver module BlueOptics OPT-0012-BO 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics OPT-0012-BO is an XFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s data communications over multimode fiber. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this compact module uses an LC duplex connector and a metal housing, runs from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 4 g. It supports 10GBASE-SR style short-range links and is intended for integration in network equipment that accepts XFP form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized XFP interface for high-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel over optical multimode fiber, enabling reliable 10 Gbit/s transmission up to typical short-range distances. Its metal housing ensures mechanical durability and thermal dissipation, while the low weight and compact XFP form factor simplify installation in compatible slots. The product is manufactured to MSA-compatible dimensions and supports optical transmit and receive functions at 850 nm for multimode applications.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics OPT-0012-BO into an available XFP slot of a compatible network device following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap procedures if supported. Connect a suitable LC duplex multimode fiber patch cord to the module’s connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device for 10 Gbit/s operation and verify link status through the network equipment’s management interface. If Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) is supported by the host, use the device tools to read optical and electrical parameters for validation and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, maintain clean connector end-faces, and ensure the host platform officially supports XFP transceivers in the intended slot. Verify firmware or driver compatibility for transceiver support and, where available, enable DDM/DOM monitoring to track supply voltage, laser bias current, output and received power, and temperature.
