ZTE 33030100452 Compatible 25GBASE-SR SFP28 for ZXR10 5960 and 5950 Series Switches

EdgeOptic's 33030100452 compatible is a ZTE-coded 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver built as a direct replacement for the ZTE 33030100452. It ships with ZTE EEPROM vendor and part-number strings so ZTE ZXR10 series switches that read the 33030100452 ordering code on optic insertion identify the module as a native ZTE part. The same ordering code appears in some ZTE catalog entries with a leading zero (033030100452); both formats refer to the same module and EdgeOptic ships the same EEPROM image against both forms. Link-up, receive-optical-signal and DOM telemetry surface on the standard optic-inventory path through the ZXR10 management interface.

Optical behavior is 25GBASE-SR per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 over duplex multi-mode fiber: 100m on OM4, 70m on OM3. Line signaling rate is 25.78125 Gbd, single-rate, per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112. Transmit power is -8.4 to +2.4 dBm, receive sensitivity -10.3 dBm, link budget 5.3 dB per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 Table 112-3 (RS-FEC per Clause 108 operates at the PCS layer and does not alter the optical power budget). Wavelength 850nm VCSEL, duplex LC/UPC, DOM per SFF-8472, under 1 W typical power consumption per the SFP28 MSA envelope. Operating case temperature is 0 to 70 degrees Celsius commercial.

Primary platform scope for 33030100452 is the ZTE ZXR10 5960 series and the ZXR10 5950 series. ZXR10 5960-56QU-HC carries 48 SFP28 25G ports plus 8 QSFP28 100G ports as a data center top-of-rack switch; ZXR10 5960-4M scales to 128 25GE ports for higher-radix aggregation; ZXR10 5950 series carries 25G uplink ports for campus and aggregation roles. EdgeOptic's compatible is built to the SFP28 MSA (SFF-8402 mechanical and high-speed electrical, SFF-8432 management interface, SFF-8472 diagnostics) so any ZXR10 chassis that reads the ZTE EEPROM vendor and part-number strings on its optic-inventory path identifies the module as a native ZTE 33030100452 on insertion.

On third-party transceiver handling, ZTE has not published a public statement equivalent to Cisco's service unsupported-transceiver enable on third-party optic policy for ZXR10. ZXR10 switches perform EEPROM optical-ID checking on port insertion as standard practice, and the EdgeOptic 33030100452 compatible carries the exact ZTE-recognized EEPROM vendor and part-number strings that the ZXR10 reads on optic insertion. Operators running a locked optic-inventory profile on a ZXR10 chassis or operating under a ZTE support contract can request the exact EEPROM strings from EdgeOptic for verification before deployment, and parallel confirmation through the ZTE support channel is the conservative path for production swap-out.

On FEC, 25G FEC mode is configured at the MAC layer on each link partner and the optical path is agnostic to the host FEC profile. RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3by Clause 108 is the default path for 25GBASE-SR and is the mode 33030100452 is specified against; Clause 74 Fire Code FEC (BASE-R) and no-FEC operation are supported at the optical layer where both link partners are configured for that FEC profile. DOM registers for transmit power, receive power, supply voltage, laser bias current and module case temperature are accessible through standard SFF-8472 reads on the ZXR10 transceiver-diagnostics interface and on any EEPROM-aware link partner. Every unit is factory-tested to the 25GBASE-SR optical specification per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 before dispatch.
