Extreme compatible 10501 Description
EdgeOptic's 10501 compatible is an Extreme Networks-coded 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver built for ExtremeSwitching and VSP platforms with native 25G SFP28 ports running EXOS or Fabric Engine firmware. The module matches the Extreme Networks 10501 datasheet specification as a standard short-reach 25 Gigabit Ethernet optic over multimode fiber, paired with RS-FEC on the host port.
Optical specs: 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, TX power -8.4 to +2.4 dBm, RX sensitivity better than -10.3 dBm with a 3 dBm overload threshold, 5.3 dB link budget. Reach is 100 m on OM4, 100 m on OM5, and 70 m on OM3 multimode fiber with an LC/UPC duplex connector. The module is IEEE 802.3 Clause 112 compliant and requires RS-FEC per Clause 91 (RS(528,514)) as referenced by Clause 112 on the host switch port. Electrical interface follows SFF-8431 and SFF-8432, and DDM is SFF-8472 compliant. Power draw is 0.3 W across 0 to 70 C.
The 10501 is the Extreme catalog's standard RS-FEC SR SFP28 and is distinct from the 10502 Lite-FEC sibling. 10501 operates with Clause 91 RS-FEC only, while the 10502 supports RS-FEC, Base-R/Clause 74 Firecode, and No-FEC modes with reach that derates across the lower-FEC configurations. Mixing a 10501 module with a host port configured for Base-R FEC or No-FEC will keep the link down. FEC is configured per-port on EXOS under interface settings; the exact CLI syntax varies by EXOS release, so consult the Extreme EXOS Configuration Guide or Extreme community article 000121840 for the per-port FEC command applicable to your EXOS version. FEC must match on both ends of every link.
EXOS does not block third-party optical modules at insertion. Legacy EXOS 15.5 required a third-party optics feature license, and this restriction has been removed in current EXOS releases. EdgeOptic codes the 10501 compatible with Extreme-recognized EEPROM so the module is accepted on ExtremeSwitching X870 series, X690 series, X590 series, 5420 series, and 5520 series, and on VSP 7400 and VSP 8284 Fabric Engine chassis. The Extreme documentation also lists 25G-SR-SFP100M as an alternate ordering code for the same module, and both identifiers are honored across the EEPROM inventory path.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Extreme Networks 10501 require RS-FEC to be enabled on EXOS switch ports?
Yes. The 10501 is defined by Extreme for RS-FEC (IEEE 802.3 Clause 91 as referenced by Clause 112) on the host port. FEC is configured per-port on EXOS under interface settings. The exact CLI command syntax varies by EXOS release; consult the Extreme EXOS Configuration Guide or Extreme community article 000121840 for the per-port FEC command applicable to your EXOS version. FEC setting must be identical on both ends of the link. From EXOS 32.4 onward, auto-negotiation defaults changed for SFP28 ports, so links that previously worked with FEC off may fail after upgrade if the far-end stays at auto off.
What is the difference between Extreme 10501 and 10502?
10501 is the standard SR SFP28 coded for RS-FEC only, with 70 m OM3 and 100 m OM4 reach. 10502 is the Lite-FEC variant that additionally supports Base-R/Clause 74 Firecode and No-FEC modes for scenarios where lower FEC latency matters, such as financial trading or HPC. 10502 reach derates to 50 m OM3 / 70 m OM4 under Clause 74 and 30 m OM3 / 40 m OM4 with no FEC, per the Extreme 10502 datasheet. If the deployment requires anything other than RS-FEC on the host port, 10502 is the correct SKU.
Which Extreme Networks switch platforms support the 10501?
The 10501 is qualified on ExtremeSwitching X870, X690, and X590 chassis, on the 5420 and 5520 series stackable switches, and on VSP 7400 and VSP 8284 platforms in the Fabric Engine portfolio. Extreme Networks maintains the full per-platform compatibility matrix on optics.extremenetworks.com for firmware-specific qualification details.
Does EXOS reject third-party SFP28 modules like the 10501 compatible?
No. Extreme Networks does not block third-party optical modules on current EXOS releases. The legacy third-party optics feature license on EXOS 15.5 has been retired. EdgeOptic's 10501 compatible carries Extreme-recognized EEPROM, so the module is accepted by EXOS at link-up and inventories as the expected 10501 part without raising 'unsupported SFP' events.
