10G SFP+ Transceivers
Use this series page to compare form factors, link reaches and interface directions before selecting a specific model. Final specifications, compatibility coding and delivery options remain tied to the ordered P/N and target host.
The series spans a 30m copper direction through 300m and 400m on multimode to 10km, 20km, 40km and 80km on single-mode. SR covers in-hall links, LR covers 10km, and ER or ZR directions extend the span. Beyond about 40km the loss and dispersion budget matters more than the reach label.
No, and the reverse is the more common question. Many SFP+ ports accept a 1G SFP module when the port is configured for 1G, but a 1G-only port cannot carry a 10G module. Confirm the supported port speeds and whether the platform requires explicit speed configuration.
At 10G a DAC is fixed-length, draws no power and suits ports a rack apart or closer. A 10G SR module over structured multimode fiber is worth it when the link crosses rows, when patch panels are already in the path, or when either end has to be maintained independently. Cable path length and maintenance model usually decide before cost does.
