SFP+ Transceiver QNAP TRX-10GSFPP-LR 10GbE 10GBase-LR 10 km

QNAP TRX-10GSFPP-LR is an SFP+ transceiver module that supports 10GbE (10GBase-LR) optical links up to 10 km. It is designed for compatible network and storage equipment with SFP+ ports and provides a single-mode fiber interface for long-distance uplinks, inter-switch connections and high-bandwidth aggregation. The module supports standard 10GBase-LR signaling and is intended for environments where stable, low-latency 10 Gb/s optical transmission is required.

Advantages

The QNAP SFP+ transceiver delivers a compact form factor and standardized 10GBase-LR compatibility, enabling straightforward integration with SFP+ ports in switches, routers and storage devices. Its support for single-mode fiber allows reach up to 10 km, making it suitable for extended links across campus or between data center rooms. The module's design focuses on predictable optical performance, interoperability with industry-standard 10GbE equipment, and reduced cabling complexity compared with multiple copper links.

Suitable for

• Long-distance uplinks between network switches and core routers
• Interconnects between data center racks or rooms up to 10 km apart
• High-bandwidth links for storage area networks (SAN) and NAS appliances
• Campus network aggregation and backbone connections

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Standard: 10GBase-LR (single-mode fiber)
• Maximum reach: up to 10 km over single-mode fiber
• Wavelength: typical long-range optical wavelength for LR modules
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector type: LC duplex

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or storage appliance, ensuring the module fully seats and the retaining latch engages. Connect single-mode duplex LC fiber cables between devices and verify link LED indicators on both ends. Configure network settings on connected equipment as required for 10GbE operation and monitor link status through management interfaces. Follow equipment vendor guidance for hot-plug handling and ESD precautions during installation.

Usage recommendations

Use single-mode duplex LC fiber rated for 10 Gb/s and verify end-to-end optical budget for links approaching the 10 km range. Check compatibility lists from the network equipment vendor when deploying third-party transceivers and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected throughput and signal quality.
