The SFP+ Module Extralink EX.35917 10Gbps 1310nm 2km is compared with similar 10G optical transceivers from BlueOptics, LevelOne, and other Extralink models. All compared products belong to the same category of high-speed network transceivers for data centers and enterprise environments, but they differ significantly in transmission distance, supported wavelengths, and package contents.
⚙️ The table below compares key technical characteristics, including maximum data rate, fiber type, operating wavelength, reach, DOM support, and bundle configuration.
| Parameter | SFP+ Module Extralink EX.35917 10Gbps 1310nm 2km | SFP+ transceiver module CBO MA-SFP-10GB-LR-BO 10Gbps 1310nm | SFP+ module Extralink EX.35900 10Gbps LC/UPC 1310nm 10km single-mode DOM (2-pack) | SFP+ Transceiver LevelOne 10Gbps 10km 1310nm | Extralink SFP+ 10G SFP+ WDM Module 10Gbps 1270/1330nm single mode 20km LC DOM pair | Extralink SFP+ 10G SFP+ WDM Module 10Gbps 1270/1330nm single mode 40km LC DOM pair | Practical significance |
|---|
| Data transfer rate | 10 Gbps | 10 Gbps | 10 Gbps | 10 Gbps | 10 Gbps | 10 Gbps | All transceivers provide the same high bandwidth capacity suitable for 10G networking. |
| Fiber type | Single-mode | Single-mode | Single-mode | Single-mode | Single-mode | Single-mode | All compared modules are designed specifically for single-mode fiber infrastructure. |
| Wavelength | 1310 nm | 1310 nm | 1310 nm | 1310 nm | 1270/1330 nm | 1270/1330 nm | Standard 1310nm modules require dual-fiber links, whereas WDM modules transmit over a single fiber strand. |
| Reach | Up to 2 km | Not specified (LR) | Up to 10 km | Up to 10 km | Up to 20 km | Up to 40 km | The primary hardware difference lies in the maximum supported distance, ranging from short to long-reach links. |
| Monitoring (DOM) | Not specified | Not specified | Included | Not specified | Included | Included | DOM functionality enables real-time diagnostic monitoring of optical parameters. |
| Package type | Single module | Single module | 2-pack | Single module | Pair (WDM) | Pair (WDM) | Paired modules and multi-packs simplify deployments requiring matched transceivers at both ends. |
◎ The table below evaluates which product is best suited for specific user needs and deployment scenarios.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Short-range data center interconnections | SFP+ Module Extralink EX.35917 10Gbps 1310nm 2km | Best choice for server-to-switch links within racks or data center rooms up to 2 km without paying for unnecessary long-range capacity. |
| Medium-distance campus or enterprise links up to 10 km | SFP+ module Extralink EX.35900 10Gbps LC/UPC 1310nm 10km single-mode DOM (2-pack) or SFP+ Transceiver LevelOne 10Gbps 10km 1310nm | Delivers stable 10G connectivity over moderate distances up to 10 km, with Extralink providing a convenient 2-pack with DOM. |
| Long-distance fiber links up to 40 km | Extralink SFP+ 10G SFP+ WDM Module 10Gbps 1270/1330nm single mode 40km LC DOM pair | Designed for extended distance requirements while optimizing fiber strand usage via WDM technology. |
The SFP+ Module Extralink EX.35917 10Gbps 1310nm 2km differs from alternative models primarily by offering a shorter maximum reach, making it ideal for localized data center environments. Choose it when your network design requires reliable 10G uplinks over distances up to 2 km. If your deployment demands longer reach, diagnostic monitoring (DOM), or bundled pairs, one of the alternative models will be more suitable.
