Chelsio compatible SM10G-SR Description
EdgeOptic's SM10G-SR compatible is a Chelsio-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, programmed with the vendor identification block that Chelsio Unified Wire adapter firmware reads during initialization. Chelsio lists SM10G-SR as a qualified optic for the Terminator 5 adapter line (T520-CR, T520-LL-CR, T520-SO-CR, T540-CR, T540-SO-CR, and the OCP-form-factor T520-OCP-SO and T540-OCP-SO) on the Chelsio store and the per-adapter product pages. On these adapters the optic seats in the standard SFP+ cage and the cxgb4 driver logs the module with the expected Chelsio vendor attribution.
Optical engine implements IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52 10GBASE-SR at 10.3125 Gbps: 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, 850 nm PIN photodiode receiver, 6.1 dB link budget, duplex LC connector. Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4 multimode fiber, with reduced reach on legacy OM2 plant. TX optical power sits between −5 and 0 dBm; RX sensitivity is better than −11.1 dBm. SFF-8472 DDM/DOM exposes TX power, RX power, laser bias, supply voltage, and module temperature; Linux hosts surface the telemetry through the standard ethtool module-EEPROM interface, and Chelsio Unified Wire management utilities provide the same readings per the adapter's diagnostic implementation. Built to the SFP+ MSA per SFF-8431, IEC60825-1 Class 1 laser safety, RoHS-6 and CE compliant; commercial 0 to 70 °C operating range.
Deployment note for the T580 series: the T580-CR, T580-LP-CR, T580-SO-CR, and T580-OCP-SO adapters expose QSFP+ cages, not native SFP+ cages, so SM10G-SR requires a QSA adapter to fit. Verify the SFP+ cage type on the target Chelsio adapter datasheet before ordering. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For Chelsio HBA fleet planning across mixed T5 and T6 generations, contact our sales team with the adapter inventory list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Chelsio adapters accept SM10G-SR?
Chelsio qualifies SM10G-SR for the Terminator 5 Unified Wire adapter line: T520-CR, T520-LL-CR, T520-SO-CR, T540-CR, T540-SO-CR, T520-OCP-SO, and T540-OCP-SO. The T580 series (T580-CR, T580-LP-CR, T580-SO-CR, T580-OCP-SO) uses QSFP+ cages rather than native SFP+, so SM10G-SR fits there only through a QSA breakout adapter. Confirm the SFP+ cage type on the target adapter datasheet before ordering, since Chelsio publishes the qualified-optic list on each adapter's product page.
