Intel compatible E10GSFPSR Description
Intel specifies the E10GSFPSR as a dual-rate 1G/10G SFP+ SR transceiver for its X520 and X710 Ethernet server adapters. EdgeOptic's compatible replacement matches Intel's optical and electrical specifications and ships with Intel-recognized EEPROM coding for direct use in X520, X710.
At 850 nm, the module transmits over duplex multimode fiber using LC/UPC connectors. Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4/OM5, within the 6.1 dB optical budget defined by IEEE 802.3ae. Real-time DDM diagnostics (SFF-8472) report optical power, temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias.
Intel originally specified the E10GSFPSR for its X520-DA2 and X520-SR2 adapters. Subsequent NIC generations (X710-DA2, X710-DA4) also accept the E10GSFPSR. The module is commonly deployed in hypervisor hosts running VMware ESXi and Proxmox, as well as in dedicated storage networks using Intel NICs.
DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) provides real-time optical power, temperature, and bias current readings through the SFF-8472 management interface. Operating temperature range is 0 to 70°C. The module is compliant with SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 MSA standards and carries CE/RoHS certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the E10GSFPSR compatible with Intel X520, X710, and X550 NIC adapters?
Yes. Intel lists the E10GSFPSR as a supported optic for the X520-DA2, X520-SR2, X710-DA2, X710-DA4. EdgeOptic's compatible version is coded with Intel-recognized EEPROM and works across all these NIC generations without driver modification.
Does the E10GSFPSR support both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps operation?
Yes. The E10GSFPSR is a dual-rate transceiver supporting 1000BASE-SX at 1.25 Gbps and 10GBASE-SR at 10.3125 Gbps. The host NIC controls the negotiated speed. This makes the module suitable for mixed 1G/10G environments or staged upgrades where both speeds coexist on the same fiber plant.
Can the E10GSFPSR be used in a Proxmox or VMware ESXi hypervisor host?
Yes. The E10GSFPSR paired with an Intel X520 or X710 NIC is a common configuration in Proxmox and ESXi hosts. Both hypervisors include native drivers for Intel 10G NICs. The optic is detected and managed through standard OS/hypervisor tools without additional driver installation.
