Dell (Force10) compatible 331-5311 Description
EdgeOptic's 331-5311 compatible is a Dell-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. 331-5311 is Dell's Force10-era ordering code (Dell acquired Force10 Networks in 2011) for the 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optic that ships against Force10 S-series switches running FTOS. The optic carries Dell-recognized EEPROM so FTOS registers the module under standard transceiver-acceptance policy.
The module operates per IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR at 10.3125 Gbps, 850 nm VCSEL into duplex LC, with up to 300 m on OM3 and up to 400 m on OM4 multimode fiber. TX optical launch is −5 to 0 dBm and receiver sensitivity is −11.1 dBm for a 6.1 dB optical budget. DDM telemetry per SFF-8472 exposes the standard transceiver health parameters. Form factor is SFP+ (SFF-8431 MSA); commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operating range.
The 331-5311 ordering code ships against Force10 S-series FTOS platforms; verify the target chassis (such as S4810, S4820, Z9000, and N-series platforms) and FTOS release against the Dell Force10 transceiver compatibility documentation before deployment. Dell's later networking portfolio uses the 407-xxxx ordering scheme for 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optics aligned to later platform generations; the two schemes carry different EEPROM coding and are not direct substitutes.
Dell Force10 S-series FTOS platforms ship with SFP+ cages provisioned for 10GBASE-SR multimode optics on top-of-rack and leaf-layer deployments. The 331-5311 ordering code is the Force10-era spare-part number for the 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optic; match the active replacement part number against the Dell Force10 transceiver compatibility documentation for the specific chassis the optic will install into. The EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 platform underpins the same physical 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optic across 80+ vendor ordering codes, with Dell-recognized EEPROM coding selected per OEM part number for the FTOS-era SKU. SFP+ form factor (SFF-8431 MSA) lets the module sit in any standard SFP+ cage on a compliant Force10 chassis.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For Dell Force10 platform questions, FTOS configuration support, or volume orders, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 331-5311 the same module as the Dell EMC 407-BB* 10GBASE-SR SFP+?
Both 331-5311 and the 407-BB* series are Dell 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optics, but they use different ordering schemes from different eras: 331-xxxx is Dell's pre-EMC Force10 inventory numbering, and 407-xxxx is Dell EMC's later networking convention. The two parts ship with different EEPROM coding aligned to the platform generation each is targeted at. Verify the active replacement part number against the Dell hardware compatibility documentation for the specific switch the optic will install into.
Does the Force10 S4810 accept this optic without a configuration override?
Yes. EdgeOptic codes the 331-5311 compatible with Dell-recognized EEPROM identification, so FTOS on the Force10 S4810 registers the optic under standard transceiver-acceptance policy without requiring a configuration override. Verify the target FTOS version against the Force10 transceiver compatibility documentation.
