BlueOptics R9X55A-BO fibre optic transceiver module

The BlueOptics R9X55A-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module in SFP+ form factor designed for data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The module features a stainless steel housing, weighs 20 g, and is listed as compatible with Cisco equipment. Its compact SFP+ interface enables hot-pluggable installation in compatible network switches, routers and servers where 10 Gbit/s fiber links are required.

Advantages

The stainless steel body provides mechanical durability and reliable shielding. As an SFP+ transceiver rated for 10000 Mbit/s, the module supports high-speed fiber connections while occupying only one small port on networking equipment. Its lightweight construction (0.02 kg) simplifies handling and installation, and declared compatibility with Cisco devices helps ensure interoperability in mixed-vendor environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the target networking device supports SFP+ modules and is powered off or in accordance with the device’s hot-plug policy. Align the transceiver with the SFP+ slot and insert it gently until it latches. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable and verify link status via the host device management interface. If necessary, confirm firmware or compatibility lists for Cisco equipment to ensure expected operation. To remove, release the latch and pull the module straight out following the equipment vendor’s instructions.

Recommendations

Store and handle the transceiver in a clean, dry environment; avoid touching the optical connector endface. Use dust caps when the module is not connected and follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during installation. For best results, match the transceiver with compatible SFP+ fiber patch cables and verify transceiver settings in the network device before putting links into production.
