Dell (Force10) compatible 407-10444 Description
Dell 407-10444 is a legacy Dell PowerConnect / PowerEdge 10GBASE-SR SFP+ part number in the older 407-1xxxx ordering format that predates the 407-BBxx SKU family introduced after the Force10 acquisition aligned Dell Networking's catalog. Modules shipped against this part number were specified for Dell PowerEdge R610 / R710 / R810 / R910 rack servers with Intel X520-DA2 and Broadcom 57810 10GbE NDC and add-in cards, and for Dell PowerConnect 8024F, 8132F, 8164F, and 8100-series aggregation switches.
Because the 407-10444 predates Force10 OS / FTOS and the later DNOS/OS10 conversion, it does not inherit the same EEPROM checks used on Z9100 / S5248F-ON hardware running OS10. On older PowerConnect PC8024F switches the module identifies under show interfaces transceiver and the port links up at 10 GbE without third-party transceiver warnings. EdgeOptic programs the module to the original Dell vendor ID, OUI, and revision strings that the legacy firmware validates.
Optical behaviour follows IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR: 850 nm VCSEL source, 6.1 dB minimum link budget, 300 m on OM3 multimode and 400 m on OM4, LC/UPC duplex. The transceiver supports 10.3125 Gbps line rate; dual-rate port operation at 1.25 Gbps is platform-dependent and supports DDM per SFF-8472 for Tx and Rx power monitoring, temperature, Vcc, and laser bias current. Standard 0 to 70 degC commercial operating range is consistent with Dell data-centre environments.
Adjacent Dell PNs for the same 10GBASE-SR function include 407-10933, 407-10936, and the newer 407-BBOO / 407-BBOP parts shipped with S4048-ON / S4112F-ON switches. If the hardware refresh is from PowerConnect to Dell PowerSwitch OS10, verify which SKU the BOM targets before ordering, since OS10 expects the newer 407-BBxx string on some S-series platforms. For mixed-generation Dell environments or a cross-check against a specific server or switch model, contact our sales team at https://edgeoptic.com/contact. On Dell PowerEdge iDRAC, the SFP+ inventory appears under System Inventory with the vendor name string the compatible emulates, matching what a Dell OEM optic would display for warranty and hardware-profile checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 407-10444 the same module as Dell 407-BBxx SR optics?
Optically the parts are equivalent 10GBASE-SR modules. The difference is the ordering format: 407-10444 belongs to the older PowerEdge / PowerConnect catalog, while 407-BBxx SKUs (407-BBOO, 407-BBOP) were introduced after the Force10 integration for Dell Networking / PowerSwitch platforms. Some newer DNOS / OS10 switches validate the 407-BBxx vendor string specifically, so confirm the target platform before substituting between the two formats.
Will the module link up on Dell PowerConnect 8024F without a third-party-transceiver warning?
Yes. EdgeOptic's compatible 407-10444 is programmed to the legacy Dell vendor identifiers that PowerConnect 8024F / 8132F / 8164F firmware validates, so show interfaces transceiver displays the module with the expected vendor name and the port comes up at 10 Gbps full-duplex without requiring any override command.
Does it work with Broadcom 57810 and Intel X520 NDC cards in PowerEdge servers?
Yes. Intel X520-DA2 / X520-SR2 and Broadcom 57810S NICs accept SFF-8432-compliant SR SFP+ optics. The Intel driver (ixgbe on Linux) does enforce SFP+ whitelist behaviour by default but Dell's OEM builds of these cards use relaxed firmware, and the 407-10444 EEPROM matches that OEM profile. Intel allow_unsupported_sfp=1 is not required on the Dell OEM variants.
