StarTech SFP+ 10GBASE-SR 10GbE Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver LC 300m 850nm DDM (JD092B-ST)

The StarTech SFP+ 10GBASE-SR 10GbE Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver LC 300m 850nm DDM (JD092B-ST) is a compact, hot-swappable SFP+ optical transceiver designed for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It supports 10GBASE-SR operation at an 850 nm wavelength with an LC connector and offers a reach up to 300 m, delivering 10 Gbps data rates with digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) and low typical power consumption of approximately 1.3 W. The metal enclosure is suitable for use in switches, routers and servers where reliable short-range 10GbE connectivity is required.

Advantages

This transceiver provides a standards-based 10GBASE-SR interface for multimode fiber networks, enabling high-speed connectivity with a compact SFP+ form factor and hot-swappable convenience to reduce downtime during maintenance. Built-in DDM allows real-time monitoring of optical parameters, and the module’s low power consumption helps limit thermal load in dense installations. CE and RoHS certifications indicate compliance with relevant safety and environmental requirements.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and network racks
• Server and switch uplinks using multimode fiber with LC connectors
• Network upgrades where hot-swappable SFP+ modules are preferred to minimize downtime
• Environments requiring optical monitoring via Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM)

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver module into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or server until it seats and the port latch engages. Connect multimode fiber cables with LC duplex connectors between network devices. Ensure that transceiver settings and link speed on connected devices are configured for 10GBASE-SR operation. Monitor link status and DDM parameters through the host device management interface to verify optical performance and signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber for reliable 10 Gb performance at longer distances up to the specified 300 m. Handle the module by its body, avoid touching the optical interfaces, and keep dust caps in place when not connected. For dense deployments, verify power and thermal budgets of the host equipment and use DDM readings to detect signal degradation or connector contamination.
