SFP+ Fiber Optic Transceiver StarTech SFP10GSRST — 10GBASE-SR, 10GbE MMF, LC, 850nm, 300m, DDM, 1.2W

The StarTech SFP10GSRST SFP+ fiber optic transceiver supports 10GBASE-SR operation over multimode fiber (MMF), providing 10GbE connectivity with an LC connector at an 850 nm wavelength and a reach of up to 300 m. Housed in a compact metal enclosure, the module is hot-swappable and designed for use with compatible switches and routers to enable high-speed uplinks for data center, campus, and enterprise networks. Typical power consumption is approximately 1.2 W and the module includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) for real-time status reporting.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers 10Gbps multimode fiber performance in a small form-factor that is hot-swappable for minimal network disruption during upgrades or replacements. The inclusion of Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) allows administrators to monitor optical parameters for operational visibility. The compact metal housing provides a durable physical design while the LC connector and 850 nm wavelength support standard 10GBASE-SR deployments with a maximum reach of 300 m.

Suitable for

• 10GbE uplinks between switches in data centers and server rooms
• Short-reach multimode fiber connections on campus or within enterprise buildings
• Replacement or upgrade of SFP+ ports on compatible network switches and routers
• Environments requiring online monitoring of transceiver status via DDM

How to use

Ensure the target switch or router supports SFP+ modules and is compatible with the transceiver. With the network interface powered and appropriate multimode fiber cabling in place, insert the SFP10GSRST module into an empty SFP+ port until it seats securely. Connect LC fiber patch cords to the module and to the remote port, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. The module is hot-swappable, so it can be installed or removed without shutting down the host device; verify link status and diagnostics through your switch/router management interface after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for optimal 10GbE performance at the specified 300 m reach, keep fiber connectors clean to maintain signal quality, and monitor DDM parameters periodically to detect potential issues. Refer to the switch or router documentation for compatibility notes and firmware requirements when deploying third-party SFP+ modules.
