Intel 105-000-669-00 Compatible 10G SFP+ SR Module

Intel's 105-000-669-00 is a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ optic distributed as part of Intel Ethernet adapter kits and spare-kit bundles. Intel does not fabricate its own optics — the 10G SR modules carrying Intel part numbers are OEM-built to Intel's EEPROM programming, then qualified against the Ethernet Controller 82599, X520, X710, and E810 driver stacks. EdgeOptic's compatible carries the same Intel vendor code and passes driver-level validation on ixgbe, i40e, and ice. The 105-xxx-yyy-zz part-number format is Intel's spare-kit convention, typically ordered against adapter spare-tray replenishment rather than as a first-fit adapter line item.

Host list covers X520-DA2 and X520-SR2 (82599-based), X710-DA2 and X710-DA4 (Fortville, i40e), and E810-XXVDA2 (Columbiaville, SFP28 cages accepting 10G SFP+ at backward-compatible rate). X540 and X550 are 10GBASE-T copper parts and are not in scope. Line-rate performance is 10.3125 Gbps with a 6.1 dB optical budget to 300 m OM3 and 400 m OM4, consistent with IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52.

Intel's driver stack validates SFF-8472 DDM and vendor-ID match during module probe; with the correct EEPROM, ethtool -m surfaces the full diagnostic page, including per-lane receive power, TX bias current, supply voltage, and case temperature. Unidentified modules on Fortville can trigger the allow_unsupported_sfp=1 override, but that is not required here. For Linux 25-series distributions, kernel 5.4+ handles this optic cleanly on the stock ice and i40e drivers. On Windows Server 2019 and 2022, the Intel PROSet driver package enumerates the optic through the adapter's diagnostic pane without additional configuration.

Mechanical and electrical spec: SFF-8432 MSA, dual-LC UPC, 3.3 V supply, ≤1 W typical, commercial 0–70°C operating range. Dual-rate 1 G/10 G behaviour depends on the host adapter — X520 supports 1G SFP fallback with the correct SFP form factor optics, while X710 and E810 generally run fixed at 10 G/25 G line rates. The SFF-8472 DDM page exposes per-lane Tx/Rx power in dBm and temperature in Celsius, which maps cleanly into Prometheus exporters or native switch telemetry for fleet-wide optical health monitoring.
