Engineered to support up to 10.3 Gbps data rates over single-mode fiber (SMF) with a reach of up to 20 kilometers, this transceiver is perfect for applications in enterprise networks, data centers, telecom networks, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
With a compact form factor, industry-standard LC duplex connector, and Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support, this transceiver provides reliable performance, energy efficiency, and versatile compatibility for mission-critical infrastructure.
Key Features
1. High-Speed 10 Gbps Transmission
This module is built to support up to 10.3 Gbps, fully compliant with:
10GBASE-LR Ethernet
10G Fibre Channel
SONET/SDH OC-192/STM-64
It delivers a stable, high-throughput connection ideal for high-bandwidth operations such as virtualization, real-time data analytics, large-scale storage systems, and cloud computing.
2. 20KM Long Reach Over Single-Mode Fiber
With a reach of up to 20 kilometers, this transceiver is optimized for long-distance communication using single-mode fiber (SMF). It’s well-suited for:
Campus interconnections
Metro Ethernet links
Office-to-office backbone connectivity
This distance range bridges medium-range fiber gaps without signal degradation or the need for signal regeneration.
3. 1310nm Wavelength Operation
Operating at a 1310nm center wavelength, this SFP+ module offers excellent signal quality and low optical dispersion, which makes it ideal for medium-range communication over SMF. The 1310nm wavelength is known for:
Low attenuation
Better performance over longer spans
Reduced latency
4. LC Duplex Connector
The LC (Lucent Connector) duplex interface enables simple, space-saving fiber connections. It’s the most widely used connector type for single-mode fiber deployments and ensures secure, fast installation and removal.
5. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
With integrated DDM/DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring), the transceiver enables real-time monitoring of key parameters such as:
Optical output and input power
Transceiver temperature
Laser bias current
Supply voltage
These diagnostics simplify troubleshooting, increase operational visibility, and allow for predictive maintenance in complex network infrastructures.
6. Hot-Pluggable and Easy to Deploy
The SFP+ module is hot-swappable, which means it can be inserted or removed without shutting down the system. This reduces downtime and enhances serviceability, especially in enterprise and telecom settings where continuous uptime is critical.
7. Multi-Platform Compatibility
Built to comply with the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), this transceiver ensures wide compatibility with leading OEM switch and router platforms including:
This flexibility allows network administrators to deploy cost-effective, vendor-neutral hardware solutions.
8. Energy Efficient Performance
This SFP+ transceiver consumes low power while maintaining high-speed data delivery, contributing to reduced operational costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
