Dell (Force10) compatible 407-BCBN Description
EdgeOptic's 407-BCBN compatible is a Dell-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. The Dell EEPROM identifies the optic as a recognized accessory on Dell PowerEdge server NICs and PowerVault storage arrays, so the platform accepts the module without a vendor-mismatch warning during boot or interface bring-up. One universal SR platform, 80+ vendor codes, including this Dell server-channel variant. Dell lists the alternate manufacturing PN as 4Y8DN (Finisar FTLX8571D3BCVIT1).
Optical specifications, 10GBASE-SR class with 1000BASE-SX dual-rate capability. 850 nm VCSEL, PIN photodiode receiver, multi-mode duplex LC. Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4. TX output power runs −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity −11.1 dBm, receiver overload 0 dBm, link budget 6.1 dB. Multi-rate scope spans 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps. Enhanced DDM/DOM is supported. Compliance: SFF-8431, SFP MSA, IEEE 802.3ae, RoHS, IEC60825-1 Class 1 laser safety. Operating range 0 to 70°C commercial.
407-BCBN is the Dell part number routed through the server channel for the SFP+ ports on PowerEdge 13th and 14th generation rack, tower, and modular chassis, and for PowerVault ME storage arrays. The Dell.com product page records compatibility across the PowerEdge R, C, M, and T families and the PowerVault ME-series enclosures. Verify the server or array model against Dell's product configuration at quote stage, since SFP+ accessory support varies by NIC daughter card and BIOS release.
Dell uses separate 407-prefix part numbers for the server channel and the networking channel. 407-BCBN is the server-channel 10GBASE-SR SFP+ for PowerEdge and PowerVault. Siblings 407-BBVJ, 407-BBOU, and 407-BCDU are adjacent Dell 407-prefix 10G SFP+ optics for the same fiber plant but each carries distinct Dell coding and ties to its own line-item entry in the Dell catalog. Order the suffix that matches the original BOM, since the Dell EEPROM differs across the 407-series.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Dell use a different part number (407-BCBN) for what looks like a standard 10G SR SFP+?
Dell maintains separate part-number series for the server channel and the networking channel even when the optical specification is identical. 407-BCBN is the server-channel 10GBASE-SR SFP+ used on PowerEdge NICs and PowerVault ME storage. The Dell EEPROM routes the optic through Dell's server qualification rather than the PowerSwitch networking qualification, which uses different 407 identifiers. Order 407-BCBN when the BOM references PowerEdge or PowerVault.
Will the 407-BCBN work in a Dell PowerSwitch?
The optical module is the same 10GBASE-SR hardware that ships across the Dell 407-series, so any Dell-coded 10G SR SFP+ is optically interchangeable. PowerSwitch line cards typically qualify their own server-channel and networking-channel suffixes through the Dell Networking Optics specification document. Verify the exact PowerSwitch model and Dell OS release against that compatibility list before substituting 407-BCBN for a networking-channel 407 part. EdgeOptic's catalog includes Dell-networking-channel siblings if the BOM calls for one.
