10G Base ER Industrial Transceiver: 10G-SFP-40I

Our EDGEOPTIC 10G-SFP-40I is a multi-vendor compatible 10G Base ER Industrial SFP+ dual-fiber optical module engineered for extended-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications in harsh environmental conditions over single-mode fiber infrastructure. The 10G-SFP-40I module operates at 1550nm 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 ER Industrial SFP+ transceiver utilizes DFB (Distributed Feedback) laser technology for transmission and APD (Avalanche Photodiode) for signal reception. The transceiver ensures a 15 dB guaranteed optical link budget, which determines the maximum transmission distance capabilities. Over single-mode fiber (SMF), the transceiver can reach distances up to 40 kilometers under optimal conditions. 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-40I compatible 10G Base ER Industrial 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 ER Industrial 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 an extended -40 to 85°C temperature range, specifically designed for sustained operation in challenging outdoor installations, uncontrolled equipment cabinets, and extreme industrial environments.

Standards compliance includes IEEE 802.3ae for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, along with SDH/SONET specifications and Fiber Channel support. 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+ ER Industrial transceiver is CE/RoHS certified, and it is compliant with product safety standards.

Typical applications are outdoor metropolitan area networks, utility and smart grid long-haul connections, railway and transportation backbone infrastructure, oil and gas pipeline monitoring systems, mining site interconnects, and industrial facilities requiring temperature-hardened long-distance optical connectivity. 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.
