10G Base LR Compatible Transceiver: 10G-SFP-10

The EDGEOPTIC 10G-SFP-10 is a multi-vendor compatible 10GBASE-LR SFP+ dual-fiber optical module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over single-mode fiber cabling. The 10G-SFP-10 operates at 1310nm wavelength for transmission and reception, with data rates of 1G Ethernet (1.25 Gbps) and 10GBASE-LR (10.3125 Gbps) supporting multiple protocol standards and applications. The 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver uses a DFB (Distributed Feedback) laser for transmission and a PIN photodiode for receiving. The module has a 6dB guaranteed optical link budget, which determines the maximum transmission distance. Over standard G.652 single-mode fiber (SMF), the transceiver can reach up to 10 kilometers. Distance is an indicative parameter based on the minimum optical budget and average attenuation of optical cabling in the industry.

The 10G-SFP-10 10GBASE-LR module is a hot-pluggable SFP+ with duplex LC/UPC connectors as the optical interface. The electrical interface conforms to SFF-8431 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard SFP+ host systems across multiple vendor equipment platforms. The 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver can be encoded to be compatible and operate in 80+ brands of networking equipment. 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 the SFF-8472 EEPROM interface and enables monitoring of transceiver operational parameters. The module operates within a 0 to 70C temperature range, with appropriate thermal considerations for sustained operation in controlled networking environments.

Standards compliance includes IEEE 802.3ae for 10GBASE-LR, SFF-8431 for the SFP+ electrical interface, and SFF-8472 for DDM diagnostics. The 10GBASE-LR SFP+ 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. The 10G-SFP-10 is CE/RoHS certified and compliant with product safety standards.

Typical applications for the 10GBASE-LR SFP+ module include metropolitan area networks, campus backbone connections, carrier-class backhaul systems, and enterprise WAN connectivity. The dual-rate capability accommodates 1G Ethernet operation at 1.25 Gbps alongside native 10 Gigabit rates at 10.3125 Gbps, providing operational flexibility for mixed-speed network deployments. All modules undergo quality testing before delivery, including optical parameter measurements, connector cleanliness tests, and SFP+ transceiver EEPROM memory data validation.
