Brocade compatible 10G-SFPP-TX-A Description
EdgeOptic's Brocade 10G-SFPP-TX-A compatible is a Brocade/Ruckus-coded 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver for Brocade and Ruckus ICX switches with SFP+ ports. EdgeOptic programs the module EEPROM to match the Ruckus 10G-SFPP-TX-A vendor profile so the transceiver enumerates identically on ICX platforms that reference the original Ruckus ordering code in their transceiver compatibility list.
The Ruckus 10G-SFPP-TX-A reached End of Sale on 19 August 2022 and End of Support on 30 August 2027, per the Ruckus End of Sale announcement. Active-procurement buyers sourcing transceivers for ongoing ICX deployments should move to one of two current ordering codes. For ICX 7850, which is thermally constrained and was the reason Ruckus introduced a low-power variant, the successor is the 10G-SFPP-TX-LP-A. For full-power platforms (ICX 7250, ICX 7450, ICX 7550, ICX 7650, ICX 7750), the standard current part is the 10G-SFPP-T. This page remains available for fleets that have an existing standard on 10G-SFPP-TX-A ordering code and need a direct replacement during the End of Support window.
Ruckus Technical Support Bulletin 2020-011 documents a power-per-slot advisory for 10G-SFPP-TX-A: the 10GBASE-T chipset draws more power than a typical 10G SFP+, and Ruckus guidance requires leaving one adjacent SFP+ port empty for each installed 10G-SFPP-TX-A on affected ICX platforms. The EdgeOptic compatible uses the same 10GBASE-T chipset class as the original module and is not exempt from this advisory. Deployments that need populated-adjacent slots should move to the 10G-SFPP-TX-LP-A, which is the platform-level answer to the power constraint.
The transceiver operates per IEEE 802.3an for 10GBASE-T and IEEE 802.3bz for 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T, with 1000BASE-T multi-rate fallback. Reach is 30 m at 10G on Cat6a or Cat7. Electrical and management interfaces follow SFF-8431 and SFF-8432. Operating temperature covers 0 to 65 °C commercial grade with CE and RoHS certification. Because this is a copper module, DOM telemetry is scoped to case temperature, supply voltage, and link status. Transmit optical power, receive optical power, and laser bias current do not exist on this part and are not reported.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 10G-SFPP-TX-A requires leaving an adjacent SFP+ port empty per Ruckus TSB 2020-011. Does the EdgeOptic compatible change this?
No. The power-per-slot advisory in TSB 2020-011 follows from the 10GBASE-T copper chipset class, not from a Ruckus-specific implementation detail, and the EdgeOptic compatible uses the same chipset class. Fleets that need adjacent SFP+ ports populated on ICX 7850 should move to the 10G-SFPP-TX-LP-A, which is the platform-level answer to the power constraint. On full-power ICX (7250, 7450, 7550, 7650, 7750), the standard 10G-SFPP-T also fits and does not carry the same slot-adjacency guideline.
Is the 10G-SFPP-TX-A still available, and what should we order instead for new ICX deployments?
The OEM Ruckus 10G-SFPP-TX-A entered End of Sale on 19 August 2022 and End of Support on 30 August 2027. EdgeOptic's compatible continues to be available for fleets that have an existing standard on this ordering code. New deployments on ICX 7850 should order the 10G-SFPP-TX-LP-A. New deployments on ICX 7250, 7450, 7550, 7650 or 7750 should order the 10G-SFPP-T.
Which ICX platforms originally supported the 10G-SFPP-TX-A during its active lifecycle?
The 10G-SFPP-TX-A was qualified on full-power ICX platforms: ICX 7250, ICX 7450, ICX 7550, ICX 7650 and ICX 7750. ICX 7850 was never part of this list because its thermal envelope required the low-power variant, and it uses the 10G-SFPP-TX-LP-A instead. Buyers verifying an existing fleet can use this platform list as a quick check; platforms outside it were always on the LP-A ordering code.
