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

The EdgeOptic 10GFH-SFP-300I is a multi-vendor compatible 10G Fronthaul SFP+ dual-fiber optical module built for mobile network infrastructure that runs CPRI and OBSAI protocols in harsh environments. The module operates at 850nm for both transmit and receive, with data rates from 1.228 to 10.138 Gbps covering the full range of fronthaul interface requirements. This industrial-grade transceiver links baseband units to remote radio heads in 4G LTE and 5G deployments where extreme temperature operation is required.

The 10GFH-SFP-300I uses a VCSEL transmitter and a PIN photodiode receiver, with a 5.1 dB optical path loss budget. TX power runs from −6 to −1 dBm, receiver sensitivity is −11.1 dBm, and overload is 0 dBm. Reach is 300 m over OM3 multimode fiber, with longer spans available on OM4 and OM5 where the fiber bandwidth supports it.

The industrial temperature rating of −45°C to +85°C suits outdoor cabinet installations, remote radio head locations exposed to environmental extremes, and deployments in regions with wide temperature swings. All optical and electrical parameters hold across the full extended temperature range, so fronthaul link performance stays consistent regardless of ambient conditions.

The 10GFH-SFP-300I covers CPRI options 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8, spanning 1.228 to 10.138 Gbps. The module also supports OBSAI RP3 at 1.536 Gbps, 3.072 Gbps, and 6.144 Gbps. This multi-rate range matches diverse radio access network architectures and equipment generations from major RAN vendors.

The 10GFH-SFP-300I is a hot-pluggable SFP+ with duplex LC/UPC connectors. The electrical interface conforms to SFF-8431 MSA, so it works with standard SFP+ host systems across multiple vendor platforms. The module can be EEPROM-programmed for specific baseband unit and remote radio head platforms. Verify the required vendor code against the platform's transceiver documentation when ordering.

DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) reports transmitted and received optical power, module temperature, bias current, and supply voltage in real time. This data is available through the MSA-compatible EEPROM interface and lets operators monitor transceiver parameters that keep fronthaul links healthy in challenging environments.

Standards compliance includes SFF-8431 for mechanical and electrical specifications, along with Class 1 FDA and IEC60825-1 laser safety requirements. The transceiver reaches multi-vendor interoperability through MSA adherence, though equipment with vendor-specific module validation may require custom EEPROM programming. The 10GFH-SFP-300I is CE and RoHS certified and meets product safety standards.

Typical applications include outdoor C-RAN fronthaul connections, remote radio head installations in extreme climates, rooftop equipment, and carrier-class mobile network infrastructure that needs industrial-grade environmental resilience. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. The 10GFH-SFP-300I is made to order with a 2-week lead time and a lifetime warranty.
