Supermicro compatible AOM-GBIC-FSR2 Description
Supermicro labels this part AOM-GBIC-FSR2, but the module is a standard SFP+ form factor 10GBASE-SR optic, not a 1G GBIC. The 'GBIC' token in the part name is a Supermicro-internal naming convention carried over from older AOC accessory catalogues; the connector, host electrical interface, and firmware handling are all SFP+. EdgeOptic's compatible is built on the 10G-SFP-300 reference and ships with Supermicro-recognised EEPROM, which is read directly by AOC-STGN-i1S and AOC-STGN-i2S dual-port 10G NICs and by SuperServer platforms that route SFP+ cages out of the IOM.
Optical parameters follow IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52 for 10GBASE-SR: 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, 850 nm PIN photodiode, 4.6 dB guaranteed link budget, dual LC multimode interface, 10.3125 Gbps line rate. Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4. The module runs across the 0–70°C commercial range and reports SFF-8472 DDM telemetry (Tx / Rx optical power, bias, voltage, temperature). CE / RoHS certified and compliant with the SFP+ SFF-8432 MSA.
Critical host-side note: the AOM-GBIC-FSR2 belongs in SFP+ cages only. It will not populate in X540 / X550 10GBASE-T copper NIC slots and is not mechanically compatible with 1G-only SFP cages that exclude the SFP+ high-speed electrical signalling lanes. On AOC-STGN-i1S / AOC-STGN-i2S NICs and on SuperServer X10 / X11 platforms with IOM-routed SFP+ cages, the module enumerates as a Supermicro SR optic in the BMC / IPMI transceiver table.
Sibling SKU cross-reference: the Supermicro AOM-TSR-FS is the other SFP+ 10GBASE-SR part in the AOC accessory line and uses a different EEPROM coding block. Match the SKU to the Supermicro AOC / server model listed in the OEM compatibility matrix rather than selecting by optical parameters alone, because both modules share the same 850 nm SR optical spec but differ in vendor coding. During commissioning, the BMC event log on an X10 / X11 SuperServer will record the transceiver insertion with the full Supermicro part string if the correct SKU has been populated; an 'unknown vendor' event usually points to the wrong coding variant. For bulk data-hall rollouts, staging an initial unit per chassis model and checking the BMC inventory output is a faster path than opening every box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Supermicro call this a 'GBIC' if it's SFP+?
It is a naming-convention carryover from Supermicro's earlier AOC accessory catalogue. The physical form factor is SFP+, the electrical interface matches the SFP+ MSA, and the optic runs at 10.3125 Gbps. The 'AOM-GBIC' prefix is purely a Supermicro part-numbering artefact.
Which Supermicro NICs and servers populate this module directly?
The AOM-GBIC-FSR2 is listed against AOC-STGN-i1S and AOC-STGN-i2S dual-port 10G SFP+ NICs, and against SuperServer X10 / X11 platforms that route SFP+ ports out of the IOM. X540 and X550 copper NICs are 10GBASE-T and do not accept SFP+ optics at all.
Does AOM-GBIC-FSR2 differ from AOM-TSR-FS in optical performance?
Optically both are 850 nm 10GBASE-SR SFP+ with 300 m OM3 / 400 m OM4 reach and 4.6 dB budget. The difference is the EEPROM vendor block that Supermicro reads during module enumeration; each SKU is pinned to specific AOC / SuperServer product IDs in Supermicro's compatibility matrix.
