850nm 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Transceiver 300m OM3 LC DOM Hot-Pluggable Data Center Module

Product Overview

The 850nm 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver is a hot-pluggable optical module engineered for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links inside data centers, server rooms and enterprise campus networks. Built around an 850 nm VCSEL transmitter paired with a PIN photodiode receiver, this 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver carries serial 10G traffic over multimode fiber up to 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4 cabling. Each unit is programmed with HPE J9151E identification data, so HPE and Aruba switches recognise the optics at boot without unsupported-transceiver alarms. Digital optical monitoring (DOM) publishes live transmit and receive power, case temperature and supply voltage, letting network teams trend link margin before a port degrades. The shielded metal SFP+ housing keeps EMI inside the cage, and the duplex LC interface latches firmly into any standard SFP+ port.

Technical Specifications

Key Advantages

• Verified optical budget: every 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver is burned in and tested for output power, sensitivity and eye margin before shipment, so links come up first time in dense racks.
• Full DOM visibility: real-time TX power, RX power, temperature and voltage readings per SFF-8472 let monitoring tools raise an alert before a fiber degrades.
• True hot-pluggability: the module can be inserted or removed with the switch live, which keeps planned maintenance windows short and avoids full-chassis reboots.
• Low power, low heat: sub-1 W consumption reduces airflow demand in top-of-rack switches and extends the service life of neighbouring components.
• Vendor-coded flexibility: the same 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver hardware is stocked with Cisco, Huawei, HPE and generic coding, simplifying spare-part planning for mixed-vendor fleets.
• Environmental compliance: lead-free construction and RoHS-6 materials support green procurement policies and cross-border shipping requirements.

Typical Applications

• Data center top-of-rack to server 10G access links on OM3 or OM4 patch panels, where a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver handles the server-side port
• Switch-to-switch uplinks and stacking connections in enterprise campus networks, with the 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver installed at both ends of the OM3 run
• HPE ProLiant servers, Aruba and HPE switch SFP+ ports that require J9151E optics
• 10G storage and SAN fabric connections between controllers and JBOD shelves
• Lab, burn-in room and integration benches where fast re-cabling is routine
• Metro and ISP aggregation cabinets using short-reach multimode fiber runs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What distance can this 850nm module reach?
A: The 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver reaches 300 m over OM3 multimode fiber and 400 m over OM4. On legacy OM2 cabling the working distance is about 82 m, so check the fiber grade printed on your patch cords before you plan a run.

Q: Is DOM supported for link monitoring?
A: Yes. The 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver implements DOM and DDM per SFF-8472, so switch CLI commands and SNMP monitoring tools can read live TX power, RX power, temperature and supply voltage on every port.

Q: Can it be installed without powering down the switch?
A: The 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver is fully hot-pluggable. Insert it into an empty SFP+ cage, latch the LC duplex connector, and the port negotiates a 10G link within seconds; no chassis reboot is needed.

Q: Is it compatible with my HPE J9151E ports?
A: This 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver is coded as an HPE J9151E equivalent and works in HPE and Aruba SFP+ platforms that accept 10GBASE-SR optics. Tell us your switch model when ordering and we will confirm the coding profile before shipment.

Q: How is the module packed and shipped?
A: Each 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver ships in an anti-static bag inside a shock-proof foam tray, with dust caps fitted. Cartons are export-grade and marked for air or sea freight; stock items leave the warehouse within three working days.
