Whether you’re building a high-bandwidth spine-leaf architecture or expanding aggregation links, this transceiver is designed to meet the needs of fast-moving networks that demand consistency, reliability, and simplicity.

• High-speed reliability: The Accortec 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Module supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over short-range multimode fiber, delivering fast uplinks between switches, servers, and storage devices. With 850 nm VCSEL-based SR optics and tight tolerances in the transmitter and receiver design, you receive stable performance across typical data center distances, enabling efficient, low-latency communication for latency-sensitive applications, virtualized workloads, and real-time analytics. This makes it an ideal choice for data center backbones, top-of-rack (ToR) connections, and campus networks where rapid data movement is essential.
• MSA-compliant, hot-swappable form factor: The SFP+ form factor adheres to the industry-standard SFP+ MSA, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide array of switch brands and network devices. Its hot-swappable design allows for quick replacements and maintenance without rebooting the entire system or disrupting service, minimizing downtime and keeping critical applications online. The module’s compact footprint also helps maximize port density in dense rack environments, supporting scalable growth as your network expands.
• Optimized for multimode fiber: The SR designation denotes short-range operation on multimode fiber, typically supporting links up to 300 meters on OM3 and longer on OM4 with appropriate fiber quality. The 850 nm emission wavelength is optimized for MMF, allowing clean, efficient coupling with LC duplex connectors and reducing insertion loss across standard fiber runs. This makes the Accortec SR SFP+ Module a dependable choice for rack-to-rack interconnects, server farms, and edge data centers where high throughput is needed without the complexity of single-mode fiber systems.
• Power efficiency and reliability: Designed for continuous operation in demanding data-center environments, the module emphasizes low power consumption while maintaining high signal integrity. Its robust construction includes protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and thermal stress within typical data-center racks, helping to extend mean time between failures (MTBF) and reduce maintenance costs. The module is engineered to perform consistently under the thermal and mechanical constraints common in busy switchgear and network gear, ensuring dependable operation across shifts and workloads.
• Advanced management and diagnostics: The Accortec 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Module supports digital diagnostics (DDM/CMI) via I2C, offering real-time data such as optical power, temperature, supply voltage, and module status. This visibility enables proactive network management, easier troubleshooting, and informed capacity planning. With these diagnostics, network administrators can monitor link health, preempt failures, and optimize performance for peak data throughput and reliability in virtualized environments, storage networks, and high-performance computing clusters.

How to install Accortec 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Module

Installing the Accortec 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Module is a straightforward, low-risk process designed for fast deployment with minimal downtime. Follow these steps to ensure proper seating, optical alignment, and optimal performance:

• Power down or place the host device in a safe maintenance state if required by your on-site procedures. This helps prevent transient faults during the module swap or initial calibration.
• Carefully remove any existing SFP+ module from the designated port, following your equipment’s standard protective procedures to avoid electrostatic discharge. Ground yourself and handle the module by the edges to prevent damage.
• Orient the Accortec 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Module with the connectors facing toward the switch or router’s SFP+ port. Align the module with the slot, then gently insert until it seats securely with a light click. Do not force the module, as misalignment can damage the port or the optical components.
• Connect the fiber optic cable to the LC duplex connector, ensuring the correct polarity: transmit (Tx) to receive (Rx) on the opposing device. Use clean, well-terminated multimode fiber (OM3/OM4) with appropriate LC connectors. Avoid bending fiber beyond the recommended minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss.
• Power the device back up (if needed) and verify link status via the device’s management interface. Confirm that the SFP+ port reports an active 10 Gbps link and monitor for errors. If available, enable and consult Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) data to ensure operation within expected temperature and optical power ranges. Perform a quick throughput test to validate performance before placing the link into production use.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the primary use of the Accortec 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Module? It is designed to provide 10 Gbps high-speed uplinks over short-range multimode fiber, ideal for data centers, server farms, and high-density enterprise networks requiring fast, reliable intra-data center connectivity.
• Which fiber type is compatible with this module? The SR module uses multimode fiber (OM3/OM4) with 850 nm VCSEL optics for short-range links. Distance depends on fiber quality and system design, typically up to 300 meters on OM3 and longer on OM4 depending on the installation.
• Is the Accortec SR module compatible with different vendors’ equipment? Yes. It adheres to the SFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standard, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers, and servers that support SFP+ interfaces.
• Does it support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM)? Many Accortec SFP+ modules include DDM (I2C), which allows you to monitor critical operating parameters such as optical power, temperature, and supply voltage in real time for proactive management and maintenance.
• How do I verify a successful installation? After seating the module and connecting the fiber, check the device’s management interface for link status (1G/10G indicators may appear as applicable), then perform a throughput test. Monitor for any frame errors, CRC failures, or link flaps, and consult the data sheet or vendor portal if anomalies arise.
• What maintenance considerations apply to this module? Keep fiber connectors clean, avoid abrupt bending of fiber cables, and protect the SFP+ port from dust and moisture when not in use. Use proper ESD precautions during installation and handling, and keep firmware and device software up to date to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
• Can I use this module for longer-distance links? The 10GBASE-SR is optimized for short-range MMF links. For longer distances, you would typically consider single-mode fiber and different transceiver types (such as 10GBASE-LR), depending on your network design and fiber infrastructure.
