10G Fronthaul SR SFP+ Transceiver: 10GFH-SFP-300

Our EDGEOPTIC 10GFH-SFP-300 is a multi-vendor compatible 10G Fronthaul SFP+ dual-fiber optical module specifically designed for mobile network infrastructure supporting CPRI and OBSAI protocol standards. The 10GFH-SFP-300 module operates at 850nm wavelength for both transmission and reception, with data rates from 1.228 to 10.138 Gbps covering the full range of fronthaul interface requirements. This transceiver provides reliable connectivity between baseband units and remote radio heads in 4G LTE and 5G network deployments.

Our 10G Fronthaul SR SFP+ transceiver utilizes VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) technology for transmission and PIN photodiode for receiving. The module ensures a 4.6 dB guaranteed optical link budget, which determines the maximum transmission distance. Over OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode fiber, the transceiver can reach distances up to 300 meters. However, distance is just an indicative parameter calculated for comfort of identification – eventually we calculate distance taking into account minimal optical budget and average attenuation of optical cabling in industry.

The 10GFH-SFP-300 supports comprehensive fronthaul protocol coverage including CPRI options 2 through 8, ranging from 1228.8 Mbps to 10.138 Gbps. Additionally, the module supports OBSAI RP3 configurations at 1.536 Gbps, 3.072 Gbps, and 6.144 Gbps rates. This multi-rate capability ensures compatibility with diverse radio access network architectures and equipment generations from major RAN vendors worldwide.

The 10GFH-SFP-300 compatible 10G Fronthaul module is a hot-pluggable SFP+ with duplex LC/UPC connectors as an optical interface. The electrical interface conforms to SFF-8431 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard SFP+ host systems supporting multiple vendor equipment platforms. Our 10G Fronthaul SFP+ transceiver can be encoded to be compatible and successfully operate in different baseband unit and remote radio head platforms across the telecommunications industry.

The module incorporates DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality providing real-time information including transmitted and received optical power levels, module temperature, bias current, and supply voltage. This diagnostic data is available via MSA-compatible EEPROM interface and enables monitoring of transceiver operational parameters critical for maintaining fronthaul link integrity. The module operates within a 0 to 70°C temperature range, with appropriate thermal considerations for sustained operation in controlled equipment room environments.

Standards compliance includes SFF-8431 for mechanical and electrical specifications, along with Class 1 FDA and IEC60825-1 laser safety requirements. The transceiver achieves multi-vendor interoperability through adherence to industry MSA standards, though equipment with vendor-specific module validation may require custom EEPROM programming for compatibility. Our 10G Fronthaul SFP+ SR transceiver is CE/RoHS certified and compliant with product safety standards.

Typical applications include C-RAN fronthaul connections, distributed antenna systems, small cell backhaul, and mobile network infrastructure deployments. Because our focus is providing top quality service, we perform serious quality checks before delivery of our products. As a result, we do optical parameter measurements, connector cleanness tests, and SFP+ transceiver EEPROM memory data validation tests.
