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

The BlueOptics XFP-SR 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm is a compact fiber optic transceiver module designed for XFP-compatible network equipment. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s over multimode fiber at an operating wavelength of 850 nm and is specified for reach up to 300 meters. The module is lightweight (approximately 20 g) and finished in silver, making it suitable for rack-mounted switches, routers and optical line cards where XFP ports are used.

Advantages

The module provides standard XFP form-factor compatibility and supports 10000 Mbit/s links on multimode fiber with an 850 nm light source, enabling short-range high-bandwidth connections. Its small size and low weight allow for dense port population in data center and enterprise network devices. The silver housing offers mechanical protection and passive heat dissipation without added bulk.

How to use

Install the transceiver into an XFP-compatible port on your network device following the manufacturer's hot-plug procedure or power-down instructions as appropriate for the host equipment. Connect a compatible multimode fiber patch cable with appropriate connectors to the module's optical interface, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and configure interface settings on the host device for 10 Gbit/s operation if manual configuration is required.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors and ports are clean before insertion to maintain signal quality. Use multimode fiber rated for 850 nm and keep cable lengths within the specified maximum reach of 300 meters. Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module, and consult the host equipment documentation for any platform-specific compatibility notes.
