Network transceiver HP SFP+ 10G SR — short-range 10 Gigabit optical module

HP SFP+ 10G SR — short-range 10 Gigabit optical module is a hot-pluggable SFP+ transceiver designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel links. Built for use in SFP+ ports, this module operates at an 850 nm wavelength over multimode fiber, providing reliable connectivity between switches, routers and servers in data centers, server rooms and campus networks where short-distance 10G links are required.

Advantages

This HP SFP+ module supports high-speed 10 Gbps data transfer over multimode fiber with low latency and power consumption. Its compact SFP+ form factor allows flexible deployment in dense networking environments and simple hot-swap replacement without system downtime. The module conforms to industry electrical and optical specifications for interoperability with compatible networking equipment and offers predictable short-range performance for structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches in data centers
• Server-to-switch uplinks and top-of-rack interconnects
• Fibre Channel short-range links for storage area networks
• Campus backbone segments and wiring closets with multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for 10 Gigabit ports
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Range: short-range multimode distances (dependent on fiber type and link conditions)
• Duplex mode: full duplex
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the HP SFP+ 10G SR module into a compatible SFP+ slot on a switch, router or server until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate multimode fiber patch cable with matching LC connectors to the transceiver ports. Verify that link LEDs and interface statistics on the host device indicate an active 10 Gbps connection. For removal, power down the port if required by the vendor, depress the module latch and withdraw the transceiver carefully to avoid damaging the fiber connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use qualified multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 where higher distances or margin are needed), keep connectors clean and use dust caps when modules are not connected. Confirm compatibility with the host device vendor and follow their guidelines for firmware and diagnostic tools to ensure stable 10G links in short-range deployments.
