Fibre optic transceiver module BlueOptics 0231A438-BO XFP 10000 m

The BlueOptics 0231A438-BO XFP 10000 m is a fiber optic XFP transceiver module designed for single-mode links up to 10,000 metres. Encased in aluminium and weighing 20 g, this compact module provides a standardized XFP interface with LC Duplex optical connectivity and supports 10 Gbit/s data rates for use in network switches, routers and storage systems that accept XFP form-factor modules.

Advantages

The module offers lightweight and durable aluminium construction and a compact XFP form factor that simplifies installation and replacement in compatible hardware. It complies with industry MSA standards for XFP optical transceivers, enabling interoperability with equipment from major vendors when the platform officially supports equivalent 10GBASE-LR XFP modules. The design targets reliable long-reach single-mode transmission and includes digital diagnostics support where the host hardware implements DDM/DOM features.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s single-mode Ethernet links up to 10 km
• High-speed connections between switches and routers
• Interconnection of storage systems and data centre equipment
• Network upgrades and transceiver replacements in XFP-capable platforms

Key specifications

• Interface type: XFP
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 10,000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-LR class)
• Connector: LC Duplex
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm transmit and receive (single-mode)
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host hardware provides the function

How to use

Install the BlueOptics XFP transceiver into an XFP slot of a compatible switch, router or storage device following the equipment manufacturer’s installation procedure. Connect LC Duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s optical ports, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status and negotiated speed on the host device; enable or query DDM/DOM diagnostics if the platform supports the feature. When removing the module, follow the host device’s hot-swap or power-down instructions to avoid port or device issues.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC Duplex fiber patch cords and appropriate patch panels for optimal range and signal quality. Ensure the host hardware officially supports XFP 10GBASE-LR modules and DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required. Protect optical ports with dust caps when not connected and follow ESD precautions during handling and installation.
