Dell (Force10) compatible SFP-10G-ER Description
EdgeOptic's SFP-10G-ER compatible is a Dell-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-40 multi-vendor 10GBASE-ER SFP+ transceiver, built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 40 km over duplex single-mode fiber. It carries the Dell ordering code SFP-10G-ER and Dell part number 407-BBOV, and the EEPROM is coded with the Dell vendor identifier so Dell PowerSwitch and Dell Force10 switches recognize the module.
The module operates at 1550 nm over duplex single-mode fiber with an LC/UPC connector. Transmit power is rated from −1 to +4 dBm, receiver sensitivity is better than −16 dBm, and receiver overload is 0 dBm, giving a 15 dB link budget for spans up to 40 km. The protocol scope on Dell PowerSwitch Ethernet switches is 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 10.3125 Gbps and 1 Gigabit Ethernet at 1.25 Gbps. The module runs on a single 3.3 V supply across the 0 to 70 °C standard operating range.
Digital optical monitoring is supported per the SFF-8431 specification, reporting module temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit optical power and receive optical power in real time. These values let engineers confirm both ends of a link sit within spec during commissioning. The transceiver complies with the SFP MSA and SFF-8431 electrical interface, carries CE marking, meets RoHS requirements, and is rated IEC 60825-1 Class 1 for laser safety.
The receiver tolerates chromatic dispersion in the 800 to 1000 ps/nm range typical of a 40 km 1550 nm single-mode path, and the data path covers the 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps range that 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit Ethernet require. SFP-10G-ER suits long-reach data-center interconnect, campus aggregation uplinks and metro Ethernet handoffs where a 40 km single-mode span is needed. It works on Dell PowerSwitch and Dell Force10 Ethernet switches; verify the module against the transceiver compatibility matrix for your specific switch model before deployment.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, every module ships after optical parameter measurement and EEPROM data validation. The SFP-10G-ER compatible ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For deployment questions or a tailored quote, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a compatible SFP-10G-ER need an unsupported-transceiver command on Dell switches?
EdgeOptic codes the EEPROM with the Dell vendor identifier so Dell PowerSwitch and Dell Force10 switches recognize the module. Dell's handling of third-party optics varies by switch family: some models accept the module directly, while certain Dell switch lines expose an unsupported-transceiver setting to suppress warnings. Because that behavior is model-specific, check the transceiver compatibility matrix for your exact Dell switch model and OS version before deployment, and confirm the module reading in the switch transceiver diagnostics output.
