DIGITUS 10GE SFP+ short-range transceiver module for SFP+/SFP slots, 10 Gbit/s, LC

DIGITUS 10GE SFP+ short-range transceiver module for SFP+/SFP slots provides a compact optical connection for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Designed for use in switches, routers and optical network equipment, it supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10,000 Mbit/s and uses an LC optical connector for short-reach fiber links. The module fits SFP+ and SFP/SFP+ slots and is intended to link servers, uplinks and aggregation points within local and data center networks.

Advantages

The DIGITUS SFP+ module delivers a standardized 10 Gbit/s optical interface in a small form factor compatible with SFP+ and SFP slots. Its LC connector and short-range design make it suitable for typical intra-data-center and campus fiber connections where high bandwidth and low latency are required. The module simplifies upgrades to 10 Gigabit Ethernet without changing existing port form factors.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch uplinks using fiber
• Aggregation points and access switches requiring 10 Gbit/s ports

When it may not be suitable

This short-range SFP+ transceiver is not intended for long-haul or extended-reach fiber links; performance and reach are optimized for short-reach deployments. It should not be used where specific vendor-locked or proprietary transceiver compatibility is required by the network equipment.

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Connector type: LC optical connector
• Intended reach: short-range fiber links
• Compatible slots: SFP and SFP+

How to use

Insert the module into an available SFP+ or SFP/SFP+ slot on your switch, router or optical equipment until it clicks into place. Connect an LC-terminated fiber patch cable between the module and the corresponding port on the linking device, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status and negotiated speed on the host device and monitor ports for proper operation. Follow your equipment vendor’s procedures for hot-plugging and firmware compatibility checks.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network device supports third-party SFP+ transceivers or that vendor compatibility is acceptable
• Confirm that short-reach fiber is appropriate for your link distance and infrastructure
• Verify that LC connectors and fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode) match your existing cabling

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit connections, match the transceiver to your fiber type and follow the switch or router vendor’s guidance on supported modules. Monitor link status after installation and keep spare modules on hand for critical uplinks.
