XFP transceiver module BlueOptics SMC10GXFP-LR-BO 10000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics SMC10GXFP-LR-BO is an XFP transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode fiber networks. It supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, enabling long-reach optical links up to 10000 m. Housed in a durable silver metal casing and weighing approximately 2 g, the module uses a standard XFP fiber connector and requires a 3.3 V supply. The transceiver is compatible with systems that accept 10GBASE-LR XFP modules and includes support for LC duplex interconnection when used with appropriate patch cords or patch panels.

Advantages

The module offers 10 Gbit/s performance over single-mode fiber with a reach suitable for campus and metropolitan links up to 10 km. Its compact metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal stability while keeping weight to a minimum for easy insertion and removal. Compliance with common XFP/10GBASE-LR mechanical and electrical standards ensures broad interoperability with networking hardware that supports XFP transceivers. The transceiver also supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when the host hardware exposes this functionality, enabling real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, output and received power, and temperature.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the XFP transceiver into a compatible XFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the host device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap instructions. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords with LC duplex connectors to the transceiver, ensuring transmit and receive fibers are correctly oriented. Verify the host device recognizes the module and, if available, enable or consult the digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) interface to monitor optical and electrical parameters. Ensure the transceiver is operated within the hardware vendor's specified temperature and voltage ranges.

Recommendations

To achieve optimal performance and link stability, use single-mode fiber and high-quality LC duplex patch cords, keep connectors clean, and confirm compatibility with the host device's supported transceiver list. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, verify that the network equipment firmware and management tools support reading and reporting the module's diagnostic parameters.
