## Long description

IBM BNT SFP+ SR 46C3449 is a hot-pluggable fiber optic transceiver module for 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-range links. Designed for use in SFP+ ports on compatible switches, routers and servers, this module supports multimode fiber and provides low-latency, high-throughput connectivity for data center and enterprise networking environments. The compact form factor and standardized interface enable straightforward installation and interoperability with equipment that accepts SFP+ SR optics.
Advantages
The transceiver delivers 10Gb/s data rates over multimode fiber with short-range reach, combining compact SFP+ form factor with hot-swap capability to minimize downtime during upgrades or replacements. Its optical interface is optimized for short-distance connectivity, helping to reduce power consumption and simplify cable management in dense rack deployments. The module's compatibility with SFP+ ports allows flexible use across a range of network devices that conform to industry SFP+ specifications.
Suitable for
 Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers
 Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch multimode fiber connections
 Storage area network (SAN) interconnects and virtualization hosts
 High-density rack deployments requiring compact optical transceivers
Key specifications
 Nominal data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gb/s)
 Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
 Fiber type: Multimode fiber compatible
 Range: Short-range (SR) multimode links
 Interface: Duplex LC optical connector
 Typical application: Short-reach optical links in enterprise and data center networks
 Optical wavelength: Designed for multimode short-range transmission
How to use
Ensure the host device supports SFP+ SR transceivers and power down the port or follow the vendor's hot-swap procedure if required. Align the duplex LC connector and insert the transceiver into the SFP+ port until it clicks into place. Connect appropriate multimode fiber patch cables and verify link status via the host device management interface. For removal, follow the reverse procedure using the release mechanism on the module to avoid damaging the port or connector.
Usage recommendations
Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal short-range performance; maintain clean connector end-faces and adhere to manufacturer-recommended insertion loss limits. Verify that transceiver firmware or host device compatibility settings allow use of third-party modules where applicable. Avoid exposing the module to electrostatic discharge and store unused transceivers in protective dust caps.
