Dell (Force10) compatible 407-BBVJ Description
Dell lists the 407-BBVJ under the alternate part number HN12K. Both numbers identify the same 10GBASE-SR SFP+ module for PowerSwitch S-Series, Z-Series, and N-Series platforms. EdgeOptic's compatible version is based on the 10G-SFP-300, manufactured to the same IEEE 802.3ae and SFF-8431/SFF-8432 standards as the Dell original. The 407-BBVJ replaced earlier Dell 10G SR SKUs such as 407-BBOC and 407-BBDB, and remains the current catalogue entry for Dell 10GBASE-SR SFP+ across most PowerSwitch product lines.
Optical transmission at 850 nm uses a VCSEL laser paired with a PIN photodiode receiver. The guaranteed 6.1 dB link budget supports 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4 fiber. Actual achievable distance depends on the installed fiber plant attenuation, connector losses, and splice count. DDM data is available through OS9 and OS10 management interfaces.
The chipset supports multi-rate operation from 1.25 Gbps (GbE) through 10.3125 Gbps (10GbE). Actual application support depends on the host port configuration and the switch software version running on the platform. Dell OS9 and OS10 switches recognise this module without CLI overrides because EdgeOptic encodes Dell-compatible EEPROM vendor and part number identifiers during production. Supported platforms include PowerSwitch S5200-ON, S4100-ON, S3100, Z9100-ON, Z9264F-ON, Z9332F-ON, N2200-ON, and N3200-ON series.
The Dell 407-BBVJ is commonly deployed in data centre top-of-rack and server-to-switch 10G uplinks, campus backbone interconnects between distribution and core layers, and converged infrastructure stacks where Dell servers connect to Dell networking. The multi-rate capability also allows 1GbE operation on ports configured for Gigabit Ethernet, which can be relevant during staged migration scenarios or for management interfaces.
Every unit ships CE/RoHS certified and complies with the SFF-8431/SFF-8432 Multi-Source Agreement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 407-BBVJ the same module as the HN12K?
Yes. Dell uses 407-BBVJ as the product SKU and HN12K as the internal Dell part number. Both identify the same 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. Either number can be used when ordering or cross-referencing in Dell documentation and compatibility matrices.
Which Dell switches support the 407-BBVJ?
The 407-BBVJ is qualified on PowerSwitch S5200-ON, S4100-ON, S3100, Z9100-ON, Z9264F-ON, N2200-ON, and N3200-ON series running OS9 or OS10. EdgeOptic's compatible is EEPROM-coded for Dell platforms and does not require manual transceiver validation commands.
