Dell (Force10) compatible 407-10357 Description
EdgeOptic's 10G-SFP-300 compatible is a Dell-coded 4G Fibre Channel SFP transceiver sold under part number 407-10357. This module operates at 4.25 Gbps per FC-PI-3 over 850 nm VCSEL, reaching 380m on OM3 multimode fiber. The 380m figure reflects the lower baud rate of 4GFC compared to 8GFC or 10GBASE-SR, which allows more margin over the same fiber plant. The 407-10357 targets Dell B-series SAN infrastructure, specifically Brocade-based Dell Connectrix switches such as the Connectrix B-Series. "B-series" in Dell's SAN product naming refers to the Brocade OEM platform line, distinct from Dell's MDS-based (Cisco OEM) M-series. Despite the SFP form factor (rather than SFP+), the module seats in standard SFP/SFP+ cages since SFP+ slots maintain backward compatibility with SFP modules. EdgeOptic programs the EEPROM with Dell-recognized vendor data, so the transceiver registers natively on Dell B-series platforms without compatibility warnings.
The 407-10357 supports multi-rate FC operation: 4GFC at 4.25 Gbps, 2GFC at 2.125 Gbps, and 1GFC at 1.0625 Gbps. Rate negotiation is handled by the switch port, not the module itself, and most Dell B-series switches support auto-sense on FC ports. This backward compatibility makes the 407-10357 suitable for mixed-generation SAN fabrics where older 2G and 1G host bus adapters still connect to the same fabric alongside newer 4G devices. The module provides DDM/DOM diagnostics including TX power, RX power, temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current for real-time link monitoring. Duplex LC connectors, 0 to 70 degrees C commercial temperature range. The 850 nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver are standard for short-wave FC optics at this speed class.
EdgeOptic's 407-10357 compatible is CE/RoHS certified and compliant with the SFP MSA (SFF-8472 for DDM specification. Each unit undergoes optical power measurement, connector inspection, and EEPROM validation before shipment. The EEPROM carries Dell-specific vendor identifiers matching the original 407-10357 coding, so the module appears as a recognized optic in Dell SAN management tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 407-10357 work in SFP+ ports on Dell Connectrix B-series switches?
Yes. SFP+ ports are backward compatible with SFP modules. The 407-10357 seats in any SFP or SFP+ cage on Dell B-series (Brocade-based) switches. The port auto-negotiates down to 4GFC, 2GFC, or 1GFC depending on the connected device.
Can the 407-10357 auto-negotiate between 4GFC, 2GFC, and 1GFC?
The module hardware supports all three rates (4.25, 2.125, 1.0625 Gbps). Rate selection depends on the switch port configuration. Most Dell B-series SAN switches handle rate negotiation automatically when the port is set to auto-sense mode.
