Note on Technical Specifications

Detailed specifications such as wavelength, reach, and fiber type are SKU-dependent and best verified against the exact SP10 SFP+ model you intend to deploy. The SP10 Series encompasses a family of 10G transceivers with a variety of optical configurations to match multi-mode and single-mode fiber networks, short-reach and long-reach deployments, and specific distance requirements. For precise data, consult the official product specification sheet for the exact SKU or reference the vendor’s specifications page using the correct UPC or SKU. This description emphasizes overall capability and ecosystem fit rather than SKU-specific numbers.

how to install Allied Telesis SP10 SFP+ Module

1. Prepare the equipment: Confirm that the host device (switch, router, or optical transport) supports SFP+ modules and that the SP10 Series is compatible with the chassis and line cards. Power down only if your network policy requires it; many SP10 deployments support hot-swapping, but always follow your device vendor’s guidelines for introducing new transceivers.
2. Handle with care: Remove the SP10 SFP+ Module from its anti-static packaging by handling only the edges of the module. Avoid touching the optical contacts or the connector pins to prevent contamination and performance degradation.
3. Insert the module correctly: Align the module with the SFP+ slot in the switch or router. Forcing or misalignment can damage the connector. Gently insert until the module seats securely and the latch engages, indicating a successful installation.
4. Connect fiber cables: Attach the appropriate fiber optic cables to the module’s duplex LC connectors (or other connector type as defined by the SKU). Ensure the cable type (multi-mode or single-mode) and the optic wavelength match the module’s specifications for optimal performance. Route cables to minimize bend radius and avoid physical strain.
5. Verify link status and performance: Power on or verify the device, then check the interface status LED indicators. Confirm link establishment and data throughput using standard network management tools and tests. If the link fails to come up, reseat the module, re-check fiber connections, and consult device logs for error codes or mismatch issues.
