10G Base LRM Compatible Transceiver: 10G-SFP-220

Our EDGEOPTIC 10G-SFP-220 is a multi-vendor compatible 10G Base LRM SFP+ dual-fiber optical module engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over legacy multimode fiber infrastructure. The 10G-SFP-220 module operates at 1310nm wavelength for both transmission and reception, supporting data rates from 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps across multiple protocol standards and network applications. Our 10G Base LRM SFP+ transceiver utilizes FP (Fabry-Perot) laser technology for transmission and PIN photodiode for signal reception. The transceiver ensures a 3.5 dB guaranteed optical link budget, which determines the maximum transmission distance capabilities. Over multimode fiber (MMF), the transceiver can reach distances up to 220 meters under optimal conditions, enabling network upgrades without requiring costly fiber replacement. 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.

10G-SFP-220 compatible 10G Base LRM module is a hot-pluggable SFP+ transceiver 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 supporting multiple vendor equipment platforms. Our 10G Base LRM SFP+ transceiver can be encoded to be compatible and successfully operate in different 80+ brands of network 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 MSA-compatible EEPROM interface and enables monitoring of transceiver operational parameters. The module operates within a 0 to 70°C temperature range, with appropriate thermal considerations for sustained operation in controlled server room environments.

Standards compliance includes IEEE 802.3aq for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over legacy multimode fiber, along with support for FDDI-grade, OM1, OM2, and OM3 multimode fiber types. 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 SFP+ LRM transceiver is CE/RoHS certified, and it is compliant with product safety standards.

Typical applications are campus network upgrades, building-to-building interconnects over existing multimode infrastructure, enterprise data center migrations to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and retrofit installations where fiber replacement is cost-prohibitive or impractical. The multi-rate capability accommodates legacy Gigabit Ethernet operation at 1.25 Gbps alongside native 10 Gigabit rates, providing operational flexibility for mixed-speed network deployments. Because our focus is providing top quality service, we are performing 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.
