10G-SFPP-LR Brocade Compatible 10G SFP+ LR Module

The EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-10 is a compatible replacement for the Brocade 10G-SFPP-LR 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver. It provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber at 1310nm, reaching up to 10 km over a duplex LC connector. 10G-SFPP-LR is the original Brocade-era SKU; the -S suffix variant is the current ordering SKU for Ruckus ICX platforms.

The transceiver uses a 1310nm DFB laser transmitter paired with a PIN photodiode receiver. Line rate is 10.3125 Gbps with 64B/66B encoding per IEEE 802.3ae. The module has a 6 dB guaranteed optical link budget over G.652 single-mode fiber. Dual-rate operation at 1G Ethernet (1.25 Gbps, 1000BASE-LX) is supported on host ports that enable rate negotiation. Operating temperature range is 0 to 70°C commercial. Power consumption is under 1 W.

10G-SFPP-LR was introduced during the Brocade networking era and remains installed on legacy platforms including ICX 6430, 6450, and 6610 access switches, FCX series with 10G uplink SFP+ ports, VDX 6740 data center switches, BigIron RX chassis with 10GbE SFP+ line cards, and NetIron MLXe and CES/CER carrier routers. The 10G-SFPP-LR part number is still recognized by these platforms running original Brocade firmware.

For maintenance or spares on existing Brocade ICX, FCX, and NetIron deployments, the 10G-SFPP-LR is the coded part number that matches the original EEPROM data. For new deployments on current Ruckus ICX 7000 series switches, 10G-SFPP-LR-S is the preferred ordering SKU. Both SKUs share the same 10GBASE-LR optical specification, and current ICX platforms accept both variants.

G.652 single-mode fiber has a maximum attenuation of 0.4 dB/km at 1310nm per ITU-T G.652.D. Over a 10 km span, fiber loss consumes up to 4 dB of the 6 dB channel budget. Connector insertion loss typically runs 0.1 to 0.3 dB per mated LC UPC pair (0.5 dB maximum per IEC 61300-3-34), and fusion splice loss adds about 0.1 dB per splice, leaving approximately 1 to 1.4 dB of margin on a typical installed link. Inspect LC endfaces per IEC 61300-3-35 before mating.

DDM per SFF-8472 reports TX/RX optical power, laser bias current, temperature, and supply voltage. The module is MSA compliant per SFF-8431 (electrical) and IEEE 802.3ae (optical), with Class 1 laser safety per IEC 60825-1. CE and RoHS certified for commercial temperature range 0°C to 70°C.
