Whether you’re upgrading an existing switch, expanding a storage network, or building a new fabric interconnect, this transceiver delivers consistent performance under load, with robust modulation and low error rates to keep your applications responsive.
- Cisco-compatible, SFP+ form factor - Engineered to be drop-in compatible with Cisco SFP-10G-SR ports and other SFP+ slots, this module provides the advantages of a Cisco-compatible transceiver without the Cisco price tag. It supports the SFP+ footprint, hot-swappability, and the same signaling standards that Cisco devices expect in 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. The result is a seamless, plug-and-play experience across a range of switches, routers, and transceivers that support 10GBASE-SR, from core switches to access-layer devices. You can deploy with confidence, knowing the module aligns with industry-standard MSA specifications and Cisco-compatible behavior for link negotiation, auto-negotiation, and error handling.
- Optimized for multimode fiber (OM3/OM4) - The 850 nm VCSEL transmitter targets short-range, high-bandwidth links over multimode fiber. The module is ideally paired with OM3 and OM4 fiber to maximize distance and bandwidth while maintaining excellent signal integrity. These fibers are common in data centers and enterprise networks, where you’ll find LC duplex connectors and pre-terminated fiber trays. With appropriate fiber, you can reach up to 300 meters or more, depending on fiber grade and environment. This makes the transceiver well-suited for server-to-switch uplinks, storage-area network connections, and top-of-rack to aggregation links where short-range, high-capacity connections are required.
- Reliability and engineering you can trust - Accortec builds its SFP+ modules with rigorous quality controls to ensure optical performance, mechanical stability, and environmental resilience. Expect consistent output power, well-controlled extinction ratios, and robust electrostatic discharge protection. The transceiver is designed for continuous operation in data centers, enterprise networks, and service provider infrastructures, with a focus on low insertion loss, stable link budgets, and long service life. This reliability translates into fewer replacement cycles, smoother network operations, and lower total cost of ownership over time.
- Easy integration and management - The module is engineered for effortless integration into existing networks, with standard compliance for electrical/optical interfaces and straightforward management through your switch or router. It supports common management protocols and enables simple monitoring of link status, temperature, and optical power. This combination of compatibility and simplicity is particularly valuable in dense data center racks or multi-tenant deployments where space, cooling, and maintenance windows are at a premium.

How to install Accortec Cisco SFP-10G-SR Compatible 10Gbase-SR SFP+ Transceiver
- Power down the host device if required by your policy, or confirm hot-swappable support for your specific switch or router. Remove any existing SFP+ module if you are replacing it, ensuring the slot is clean and free of dust.
- Carefully align the SFP+ transceiver with the slot and insert it firmly until it seats with a gentle click. Do not force the module; improper seating can damage the connector or slot.
- Attach the fiber patch cable to the LC duplex connectors on the transceiver. Ensure correct polarity and connector cleanliness to avoid excessive insertion loss. Dry-clean or terminate fibers as needed to maximize signal integrity.
- Power on the device or allow the port to reinitialize on a hot-swappable installation. Check the port status LED and system management interface to confirm a healthy link and negotiated speed. If needed, configure the port to operate at 10G and enable the appropriate VLANs, QoS, or routing policies in your network stack.
- Test connectivity end-to-end with a simple throughput test or link verification tool. Verify that the remote end recognizes the link, the performance matches expectations, and error counters remain at zero or near-zero under load.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What is 10GBASE-SR? A: 10GBASE-SR is a standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short-range multimode fiber, using 850 nm wavelength and VCSEL transmitters. It is commonly deployed for server-to-switch uplinks, top-of-rack connections, and short-range data center links, with typical reach up to 300 meters on appropriate OM3/OM4 fiber.
- Q: Is this module Cisco-compatible? A: Yes. It is designed to be Cisco SFP-10G-SR compatible and should function in Cisco devices that support SFP+ 10GBASE-SR modules, as well as other vendors' switches and routers that accept third-party SFP+ modules.
