The 10G SFP+ Optical Duplex Transceiver family consists of hot-swappable modules designed to provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode and single-mode fiber. The series includes SR, LR, ER, ZR, and 120 km long-reach variants, each defined by its operating wavelength and supported transmission distance. All modules use an LC duplex optical interface, operate from a single 3.3 V power supply, and support a 10.3125 Gbps line rate as specified in IEEE 802.3ae. Digital diagnostics monitoring is integrated in accordance with SFF-8472, allowing real-time reporting of key operating parameters. The transceivers comply with the SFP+ MSA and are mechanically and electrically compatible with standard SFP+ host equipment.
Overview
Introduction
The 10G SFP+ Optical Duplex Transceiver family consists of industry-standard hot-swappable fiber modules designed for 10-Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode and single-mode fiber. This product group includes SR, LR, ER, ZR, and ZR-120 variants, covering transmission distances from 300 meters up to 120 kilometers to support a wide range of data center, enterprise, metro, and long-reach networking applications. All modules comply with the SFP+ MSA, IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE specifications, and Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) functions. They operate from a single +3.3V power supply, feature LC duplex optical interfaces, and are designed for reliable performance in high-density switching, routing, and optical transport equipment.
