SFP+ Transceiver Dell CRD NTWK 10GE Intel 2P

SFP+ Transceiver Dell CRD NTWK 10GE Intel 2P (MPN: CYK8V-RFB) is a compact, hot-pluggable module for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Designed for use in compatible Dell networking equipment and Intel 2-port configurations, the module supports short-range fiber or direct-attach copper (DAC) links depending on the specific variant. It provides a standardized interface for high-speed uplinks and aggregation links, enabling straightforward installation and replacement in data center switches and server network ports.

Advantages

The Dell SFP+ transceiver offers reliable 10GE performance with a small form factor compatible with industry-standard SFP+ slots. Its hot-pluggable design allows field replacement without powering down equipment, reducing maintenance windows. Engineered for compatibility with Dell network hardware and Intel 2-port configurations, the module supports efficient data center topologies and server uplinks while maintaining predictable link behavior and signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Data center server uplinks and switch aggregation links
• High-throughput virtualized server deployments
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row network configurations
• Short-range fiber or DAC connections in rack environments

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Brand: Dell; MPN: CYK8V-RFB
• Compatibility: Designed for compatible Dell networking hardware and Intel 2-port configurations
• Connector types: supports LC (fiber) or SFP+ DAC interfaces depending on variant
• Hot-pluggable module for in-service replacement

How to use

Install the SFP+ module into an empty SFP+ slot on a compatible Dell switch or server network adapter until it clicks into place. If using fiber, connect LC-terminated fiber cables to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation; if using a DAC cable, insert the twinax connector into the module receptacle. Verify link status through the host device management interface and monitor LEDs for activity. To remove, power down only if required by your equipment policy, then press the module latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector.

Usage recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your specific Dell switch or Intel network card model before installation. Use appropriate cable types and maintain proper fiber handling procedures—avoid bending below the minimum bend radius and keep connectors clean. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for firmware and driver versions to ensure stable 10GE operation.
