Brocade compatible 10G-SFPP-USR-8 Description
EdgeOptic's 10G-SFP-300 compatible is a Brocade-coded Ultra Short Reach (USR) SFP+ transceiver matching the 10G-SFPP-USR-8 part number. USR is a vendor-specific designation, not an IEEE standard, so the optical parameters are defined per the vendor's own datasheet rather than a public specification. The module operates at 10.3125 Gbps using an 850 nm VCSEL laser and PIN photodiode receiver over multimode fibre. Maximum reach is 100 m on OM3 and 150 m on OM4 per vendor datasheet. Don't confuse USR reach with 10GBASE-SR, which supports 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4 under IEEE 802.3ae. The duplex LC interface supports DDM/DOM diagnostics for real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage. Verify fibre run lengths during commissioning to confirm USR reach is sufficient for every link in the deployment.
The 10G-SFPP-USR-8 is used in Brocade ICX switches for intra-rack and short-reach top-of-rack connections where 100 m is sufficient. Typical deployments include server-to-switch uplinks within a single rack or adjacent racks in the data center, where the reduced reach of USR compared to SR does not affect operations. If any link in the topology exceeds 100 m on OM3, use the 10GBASE-SR variant (10G-SFPP-SR) instead. Following Broadcom's 2017 acquisition of Brocade and the subsequent divestiture of the ICX campus networking business to Ruckus (CommScope), ICX platforms continue to use the same optic acceptance firmware. The same EEPROM coding works whether the switch carries Brocade or Ruckus branding. DDM threshold monitoring can be configured on ICX platforms to generate alerts when optical power approaches link-loss thresholds. Operating temperature range is 0 to 70 degrees C (commercial grade).
EdgeOptic programs each module's EEPROM with Brocade-recognized vendor identification, so ICX switches accept the transceiver without third-party optic warnings or syslog errors. The module is compliant with the SFP+ MSA (SFF-8432) and is CE/RoHS certified. Every unit undergoes optical parameter measurement (transmit power, receive sensitivity, extinction ratio), connector inspection, and EEPROM validation before shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the 10G-SFPP-USR-8 reach 300 m like a standard SR module?
No. USR (Ultra Short Reach) is a vendor-specific designation with a maximum of 100 m on OM3 and 150 m on OM4. If the link exceeds 100 m, use a 10GBASE-SR optic such as the Brocade 10G-SFPP-SR instead.
Is USR an IEEE standard?
No. Ultra Short Reach is a vendor-specific designation, not defined by IEEE 802.3. The optical parameters (reach, power budget) are specified per the vendor's own datasheet rather than a public standard.
When should USR be chosen over SR for Brocade ICX deployments?
USR is designed for intra-rack and short top-of-rack connections where the fibre run stays within 100 m. If all links are confined to a single rack or adjacent racks, USR is sufficient. For longer runs or cross-building links, use the 10GBASE-SR variant (10G-SFPP-SR) with its 300 m OM3 reach.
