Glasvezel-transceiver BlueOptics NPA0038-SR11-BO 10000 Mbit/s XFP 1310 nm

The BlueOptics NPA0038-SR11-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module for 10 Gbit/s networks. It uses an XFP interface and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, enabling single-mode optical transmission over long distances. The module is housed in a metal casing, requires a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 4 g. It includes an LC duplex optical connector and supports standard 10GBASE-LR protocols for integration into switches, routers and other network equipment that accept XFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact, industry-standard XFP form factor that simplifies replacement and upgrades. Operating at 1310 nm, it supports long-reach single-mode links while remaining compatible with equipment that follows MSA/XFP specifications. The metal housing offers mechanical durability and thermal stability. Low weight and standard electrical characteristics allow straightforward installation in XFP-compatible slots.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics NPA0038-SR11-BO into an XFP-compatible slot in compliant network hardware following the device vendor’s hot-swap and handling instructions. Connect the LC duplex single-mode patch cord to the module’s receive and transmit ports with correct polarity. Ensure the host device supports 10GBASE-LR/XFP modules and that any required software or firmware settings for transceiver recognition are applied. Verify link status and optical power levels after installation.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber patch cords and LC duplex connectors rated for 1310 nm. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s supported transceiver list and enable digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) if the host supports it to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted and received power and module temperature. Handle the transceiver with electrostatic discharge precautions and keep protective caps on unused optical ports to avoid contamination.
