The 10G SFP+ 850nm 300m optical transceiver is a well‑established, standards‑based optical transceiver designed for short‑reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Often referred to as 10G SFP+ SR, this transceiver is the go‑to choice for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices within a data hall or across adjacent rows, where cost‑effective, high‑bandwidth connectivity over multimode fiber is required.

At its core, the transceiver uses an 850nm VCSEL laser and a PIN photodetector. On OM3 multimode fiber (aqua jacket), it supports link distances up to 300 meters. On older OM2 fiber, the maximum reach is 82 meters. This flexibility allows you to deploy it in existing multimode environments while still benefiting from 10G performance. The electrical interface follows SFF‑8431, ensuring broad compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches and network interface cards.

Operating within a case temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, the SFP 10G SR is well suited for typical data center and enterprise wiring closet environments. It is also RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental standards for lead‑free manufacturing.

Primary applications include 10GBASE‑SR Ethernet connections for top‑of‑rack switching, server uplinks, and storage area networks (SAN). Wherever you need a reliable, low‑cost 10G link over existing multimode fiber, the SFP 10G SR delivers consistent performance without complexity.

FAQ

Q: Does this SFP 10G SR transceiver run hot? I'm populating many ports in a dense switch.

A: The 10G SR transceiver has relatively low power consumption (typically under 1W). It generates less heat than copper 10GBASE‑T transceivers or longer‑reach optics. In a well‑ventilated switch with standard airflow, you can populate all ports without thermal issues. Still, monitoring the switch's internal temperature is always good practice.

Q: What is your warranty and return policy for this transceiver?

A: We offer a standard warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. If a transceiver fails within the warranty period, we provide a straightforward RMA process. For customers in Asia, we maintain regional stock to speed up replacements. Please contact our sales team for detailed terms and conditions.
