Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent) SFP-10G-ER Compatible 10GBASE-ER SFP+ 1550nm 40km Transceiver

EdgeOptic's SFP-10G-ER compatible is a Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent)-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-40 multi-vendor 10GBASE-ER SFP+ transceiver, built to drop into Nokia 7750 SR, 7450 ESS, and 7705 SAR service router IOMs with SFP+ slots. The module carries Nokia-recognized EEPROM and supports SFF-8472 DDM/DOM diagnostics, so the host registers it as a Nokia-coded ER optic without manual override. Nokia uses several overlapping ordering codes for the 1550nm 40km ER spec class (SFP-10G-ER, AL-SFP-10G-ER, ISFP-10G-ER, and 3HE-series part numbers); verify the exact ordering code against the Nokia IOM transceiver compatibility guide for your platform.

The optical layer uses a DFB laser at 1550nm and a PIN photodiode receiver. Transmit power is −1 to +4 dBm with receiver sensitivity of −16 dBm and an overload of 0 dBm, giving a 15 dB link budget over single-mode fiber with a typical 40 km reach. The transceiver supports 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps data rates, covering 1GE and 10GE Ethernet, 1G/2G/4G/8G/10G Fibre Channel, and STM-64 (9.953 Gbps) SONET/SDH applications on Nokia service router IOMs that expose those protocol modes. Dispersion tolerance is 800 to 1000 ps/nm; the module operates from 0 to 70°C at +3.3 V single supply.

Form factor is hot-pluggable SFP+ with LC duplex connector per the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (SFF-8431 electrical interface) and SFF-8472 two-wire digital diagnostics. Compliance covers CE, Class 1 FDA laser safety, IEC 60825-1, and RoHS. Real-time DOM telemetry exposes transmit power, receive power, laser bias current, supply voltage, and transceiver temperature, which Nokia service router OS reads from the optic for link-health monitoring on long-haul ER spans.

Typical deployment scenarios include ISP fiber-to-the-home aggregation and IP/MPLS backbone, mobile operator core and mobile backhaul, and data-center site interconnect over single-mode fiber plants extending up to 40 km. The 1550nm wavelength tracks the lowest-attenuation window in single-mode fiber and pairs with the wider transmit power envelope to give the 15 dB link budget the headroom that ER spans need for splice and connector loss accumulation. The receiver overload point at 0 dBm should be respected on shorter installed spans; for runs under approximately 5 km, in-line optical attenuation may be required to keep receive power within the −16 to 0 dBm operating window.
