SFP transceiver BlueOptics R9Q46A-BO 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics R9Q46A-BO SFP transceiver is a compact fiber-optic module designed for 10 Gbit/s class links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and transmits at an 850 nm wavelength, enabling short-range multimode connections. The module is housed in a robust metal casing, accepts LC fiber connectors and requires a 3.3 V supply. With a lightweight design of approximately 0.02 kg and a small form factor, it is suitable for integration into switches, routers and media converters that accept standard SFP modules.

Advantages

The metal enclosure provides mechanical protection and improves thermal dissipation while keeping the transceiver lightweight. Native LC connector compatibility and support for up to 300 m multimode reach allow flexible deployment in data centers, enterprise networks and campus backbones. The 3.3 V power requirement and standard SFP form factor ensure broad compatibility with networking equipment that follows industry SFP specifications.

How to use

Before installation, verify that the host device supports SFP modules and that the firmware or configuration allows third-party transceivers where applicable. Insert the BlueOptics R9Q46A-BO into an empty SFP slot until it clicks into place, then connect LC-terminated multimode fiber patch cables to the module. Power on the host equipment and verify link status through device LEDs or the management interface. Ensure the connected fiber and patch panels are cleaned and appropriate multimode fiber type (e.g., OM3/OM4 where required) is used for the intended distance.

Recommendations

To maintain signal quality and module longevity, handle the transceiver by its edges, keep protective dust caps on unused ports, and perform regular inspection and cleaning of fiber endfaces. Match fiber type and cabling standards to the 850 nm multimode specification and avoid exceeding the specified 300 m maximum link length.
