Dell (Force10) compatible 540-BBKJ Description
EdgeOptic's 540-BBKJ compatible is a Dell-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. 540-BBKJ is Dell's ordering code for the iSCSI SFP+ Optical Adapter 10Gb Customer Kit, intended for Dell PowerEdge server environments running 10GbE iSCSI storage networking. The optic carries Dell-recognized EEPROM identification so PowerEdge server adapters accept the module under the standard transceiver-acceptance policy.
The module operates per IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52 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: temperature, supply voltage, TX bias, TX power, and RX power. Form factor is SFP+ (SFF-8431 MSA) at 0 to 70 degrees C commercial operating range.
Dell.com lists 540-BBKJ as the iSCSI SFP+ Optical Adapter 10Gb Customer Kit. The 540-BBKJ is an optical iSCSI SFP+ Customer Kit ordering code, distinct from the Dell PowerSwitch-side 407-BB* networking SFP+ ordering codes. The optical iSCSI application lands on the PowerEdge server iSCSI network interface for 10GbE storage networking. The 540-BBKJ is an optical SFP+ module, not a direct-attach copper (DAC) cable assembly or active optical cable (AOC).
The EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 platform underpins the same physical 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optic across the multi-vendor catalog, with vendor-recognized EEPROM coding selected per OEM ordering code. For Dell PowerEdge iSCSI storage deployments, verify the active 540-BBKJ Customer Kit revision against the Dell server compatibility documentation for the PowerEdge generation the optic will install into. The 10GBASE-SR profile is the standard short-reach multimode SFP+ choice for 10GbE iSCSI server-to-storage fiber connectivity within a PowerEdge data-center fabric.
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 PowerEdge iSCSI storage platform questions, alternative Dell server-side transceiver coding, or volume orders, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which PowerEdge server generations use the 540-BBKJ part number?
540-BBKJ is the Dell iSCSI SFP+ Optical Adapter 10Gb Customer Kit ordering code for Dell PowerEdge server environments. The specific PowerEdge generation support depends on the server-side iSCSI network interface configuration; verify the active 540-BBKJ Customer Kit against the Dell PowerEdge server compatibility documentation for the specific generation the optic will install into, since Dell maintains separate Customer Kit revisions across PowerEdge generations.
Will iDRAC flag the 540-BBKJ compatible as unsupported?
EdgeOptic codes the 540-BBKJ compatible with Dell-recognized EEPROM identification for the iSCSI SFP+ Optical Adapter context, so iDRAC sees the module under the standard transceiver-acceptance policy where the server-side network adapter firmware accepts the Dell vendor identification. Where iDRAC firmware on a given PowerEdge generation tightens transceiver acceptance, verify the active 540-BBKJ Customer Kit revision against the PowerEdge server compatibility documentation.
Can the 540-BBKJ be used in Dell PowerSwitch network switches?
540-BBKJ is the server-side iSCSI SFP+ Optical Adapter ordering code; the Dell PowerSwitch-side 407-BB* ordering codes (such as 407-BBOK, 407-BBPC, 407-BBRJ) are the equivalent 10GBASE-SR SFP+ parts for PowerSwitch chassis deployment. The two ordering branches carry separate Dell EEPROM coding for their respective server-side and switch-side acceptance policies. Order against the PowerSwitch ordering code for switch deployments.
