XFP transceiver module BlueOptics SMC10GXFP-SR-BO 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics SMC10GXFP-SR-BO is an XFP transceiver module engineered for 10G optical links over multimode fiber. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s at an 850 nm wavelength, uses an XFP interface and is housed in a durable metal casing. The module operates at 3.3 V input voltage, weighs approximately 2 g and is supplied in a silver-coloured housing. Designed to follow MSA standards and to connect via LC Duplex connectors, this transceiver is intended for use in network equipment that accepts XFP 10GBASE-SR modules.

Advantages

The module offers interoperability with systems that support 10GBASE-SR XFP optics and is manufactured to MSA-compliant form-factor and electrical specifications. Low weight and a compact metal housing make the module easy to handle and install. The device uses an 850 nm transmitter and receiver pair suitable for multimode fiber links and supports common high-speed protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at up to 10 Gbit/s. Built-in digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) compatibility facilitates remote monitoring of voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host hardware supports these features.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the transceiver into any compatible XFP slot of network switches, routers or storage devices following the host vendor’s insertion and removal procedure. Connect LC Duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s connectors, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host port for 10G operation and verify link status in the device management interface. If the host supports DDM/DOM, monitor voltage, laser bias, transmit and receive power and temperature values through the management interface to assist with maintenance and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and LC Duplex patch cords, verify that the host hardware officially supports third-party XFP modules, and ensure firmware or driver compatibility for DDM/DOM access. Keep connectors clean and follow ESD handling procedures during installation.
