Fiber-transceivermodul BlueOptics 3873-BO 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The BlueOptics 3873-BO is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module engineered for 10 Gbps short-range network links. Housed in a compact SFP+ form factor with a silver finish, the module provides a standardized physical interface for insertion into compatible switch, router, or server ports. Designed for reliable operation, it supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and is manufactured to meet CE, FCC and RoHS requirements. A high mean time between failures (MTBF) value contributes to sustained uptime in data center and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP+ footprint that conserves port density while enabling 10 Gbit/s connections. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards ensures regulatory and environmental conformity. Its lightweight silver housing simplifies handling and installation in dense racks. The high MTBF rating indicates durability and reduced frequency of replacements, helping maintain consistent network performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and aggregation devices

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 3873-BO module into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or server until it clicks into place. Connect appropriate single-mode or multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver’s optical interface, observing correct TX/RX orientation. Ensure the host device recognizes the module and that link/activity indicators show an active connection. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and avoid contaminating optical end faces by using dust caps when the module is not in use.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal optical performance, clean connector end faces before mating, verify that connected fiber types and cable lengths are within supported short-reach limits, and monitor link status via network management tools. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid exposure to excessive humidity or temperature extremes.
