SFP+ Transceiver Module HP 10 GigE 10GBase-SR LC Multi-Mode up to 300 m (456096-001)

SFP+ Transceiver Module HP 10 GigE 10GBase-SR LC Multi-Mode up to 300 m is an optical network module designed for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. It provides a duplex LC interface and operates over multi-mode fiber to deliver high-speed connectivity for server uplinks, switch-to-switch connections and data center aggregation. The module supports 10GBase-SR physical signaling and is intended for deployments where up to 300 meters reach on multi-mode fiber is required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers compact SFP+ form factor for high port density, low power consumption for efficient operation in rack environments, and compatibility with standard 10GBase-SR multi-mode fiber links using LC duplex connectors. Its design focuses on reliable short-reach optical transmission, predictable signal performance and straightforward integration into existing 10 GigE infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Server uplinks in data centers
• Short-range switch-to-switch optical connections
• Aggregation and distribution layer links within campus or enterprise networks
• High-density switch modules requiring SFP+ form factor

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-SR)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: Multi-mode fiber (MMF)
• Nominal reach: up to 300 meters on appropriate MMF
• Form factor: SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable plus)
• Transmission: short-range optical (850 nm typical)

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or network adapter until it locks in place. Connect LC duplex multi-mode fiber patch cords to the module, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and configure port settings for 10 Gigabit operation as required by your network equipment. Handle the module with electrostatic discharge precautions and keep dust caps on unused ports to maintain optical performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use multi-mode fiber of appropriate grade (OM3/OM4 recommended for 300 m reach), maintain clean connector endfaces, and confirm compatibility with the network hardware vendor's SFP+ port specifications. Monitor link performance after installation and replace connectors or patch cords if signal degradation is detected.
