Elevate your 10 Gigabit networking with a high-performance SFP+ transceiver designed for long-haul DWDM deployments. The Brocade (Formerly) 10G-SFPP-ZRD-1537-40 Compatible TAA Compliant 10GBase-DWDM 100GHz SFP+ Transceiver is built to deliver reliable, cost-efficient 10G Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber (SMF) across significant distances. Engineered to be a flexible and drop-in replacement for OEM modules, this module blends enterprise-grade reliability with a compelling price point, making it an ideal choice for data centers, campus networks, metro deployments, and service provider backbones that demand stable, high-bandwidth DWDM links. With a wavelength of 1537.40 nm on a 100 GHz grid, an LC duplex connector, and Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), it provides not only raw speed but also visibility and control over network health and performance. Whether you are upgrading an aging backbone, extending data center interconnects, or provisioning remote sites, this transceiver offers the right mix of reach, compatibility, and manageability to keep your network performing at peak efficiency.

  • Broad DWDM capability for long-haul links: This 10GBase-DWDM transceiver operates on a precise 1537.40 nm DWDM channel within a 100 GHz grid, enabling scalable, cost-efficient long-haul connections over standard single-mode fiber. With a reach up to 80 kilometers, it supports data center interconnects, campus backbones, and service-provider rings without the need for multiple amplification stages or additional regeneration. The module is designed to maximize fiber utility, enabling operators to consolidate wavelengths and optimize fiber plant assets while maintaining strong link budgets and robust margins.
  • DOM for proactive network visibility: Digital Optical Monitoring provides real-time insight into optical power levels, temperature, voltage, and bias currents. This visibility helps network administrators track transceiver health, verify link integrity, and perform rapid troubleshooting. DOM data can be integrated into network management systems and SNMP-based monitoring tools, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) in busy data centers and carrier environments.
  • Drop-in compatibility with 10G ports: As an SFP+ form factor, the module is designed for seamless insertion into SFP+/10GBASE-DWDM-capable ports on a wide range of switches, routers, and optical devices. It plugs into standard SFP+ cages and works with typical 10G networking equipment that supports DWDM SFP+ modules. This compatibility makes it a practical alternative to OEM modules for bulk deployments, spare parts inventories, or refresh cycles, delivering reliable performance without vendor lock-in.
  • Durable operation across varied environments: Rated for a wide operating temperature range (0 to 70°C), the transceiver is built to withstand the thermal realities of data centers, carrier hotels, and edge locations. The rugged design helps maintain stable performance amid temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent throughput and reducing the risk of performance degradation in environments where cooling is variable or constrained.
  • TA A compliant and cost-effective: This module adheres to the Trade Agreements Act, offering a compliant, economical alternative to OEM SFP+ transceivers. It provides dependable 10G DWDM performance, with the freedom to scale your network deployments, stocking, and replacement strategies without compromising on reliability or support. By combining strong performance with cost efficiency, it suits large-scale rollouts, managed services deployments, and budget-conscious data-center upgrades.

how to install Brocade (Formerly) 10G-SFPP-ZRD-1537-40 Compatible TAA Compliant 10GBase-DWDM 100GHz SFP+ Transceiver (SMF, 1537.40nm, 80km, LC, DOM)

  • Power down the device and locate an available SFP+ port that supports 10GBASE-DWDM interfaces.
  • Remove the existing transceiver (if present) carefully and set it aside to avoid contamination of the connector ends.
  • Insert the Brocade-compatible SFP+ transceiver into the SFP+ slot until it seats firmly with a click. Do not force the module; ensure the notch aligns with the cage connector.
  • Attach the LC fiber pair to the duplex LC connector, ensuring the fiber ends are clean and free of debris. Use proper fiber cleaning techniques and tools to maintain high-quality physical connections.
  • Connect the opposite end of the DWDM link to the corresponding DWDM channel path, ensuring that the receiving device is configured to recognize 10GBASE-DWDM signals on the selected wavelength (1537.40 nm).
  • Power up the device and verify link status in the system’s management interface. Check DOM readings to confirm optical power levels are within expected ranges and monitor for any alarms or warnings.
  • Run a basic throughput test and verify error-free operation across the link. Document the performance metrics for future reference and queue the transceiver for ongoing monitoring in your network management system.
  • Regularly review DOM data, temperature, and link performance to ensure long-term reliability. If issues arise, reseat the transceiver, re-clean connectors, or replace with a spare unit to minimize downtime.

Frequently asked questions
