SFP+ Transceiver Module StarTech EX-SFP-10GE-SR

The StarTech EX-SFP-10GE-SR is a 10GBASE-SR compatible SFP+ transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet multimode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbps over multimode fiber at an 850 nm wavelength and provides reliable short-range connectivity up to 300 m (984 ft). The module features an LC connector, aluminum housing, low power consumption and an MTBF of 1,967,709 hours. It is hot-swappable for minimal network disruption and is backed by StarTech.com's lifetime warranty and multilingual technical support.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers standards-compliant 10GBASE-SR performance for compatible Juniper and other switch and router platforms, straightforward hot-swappable installation to reduce downtime, integrated digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) for real-time link information, and low power consumption (under 1.2 W). The LC multimode interface and compact SFP+ form factor make it suitable for dense networking environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over multimode fiber
• Data center uplinks and switch-to-switch links within 300 m
• Network upgrades and replacements requiring hot-swappable modules
• Environments needing DDM monitoring and low power transceivers

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures per your switch or router documentation, insert the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ slot until it clicks, and connect LC-terminated multimode fiber cables to the module. Verify link and diagnostics via your device management interface; the module supports DDM for monitoring parameters such as optical power and temperature. If replacing a module, remove the existing transceiver and insert the replacement while observing electrostatic discharge precautions.

Usage recommendations

Use multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 recommended for optimal 300 m reach at 10 Gbps) with LC connectors, follow your equipment vendor’s compatibility list (this module is programmed for Juniper-compatible systems), and keep firmware and device drivers up to date to ensure stable 10GbE operation.
