Eaton Tripp Lite Cisco-Compatible SFP-10G-SR Transceiver

This high-performance SFP+ transceiver is designed to deliver reliable 10GBASE-SR connectivity for Cisco environments. The Tripp Lite N286-10GSR-MDLC module is functionally equivalent to Cisco’s SFP-10G-SR, offering seamless interoperability with Cisco switches and routers while delivering the trusted quality of Eaton-backed Tripp Lite components. Built for multi-mode fiber links, this module features DDMonitored diagnostics, a compact SFP+ form factor, and an easy, plug-and-play installation process that minimizes downtime and maintenance hassles.

• Cisco-compatible SFP+ module engineered to be functionally equivalent to Cisco SFP-10G-SR, ensuring quick, risk-free integration in existing Cisco networks without costly configuration changes or compatibility concerns.
• 10GBASE-SR performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short-range multi-mode fiber with a wavelength of 850 nm, delivering high-speed uplinks for servers, storage, and switches in data centers and enterprise networks.
• Multimode fiber, LC duplex connector uses standard LC duplex connectors and multi-mode optical fiber (OM2/OM3/OM4 compatible), enabling cost-effective, scalable links within typical data-center rack-and-row layouts.
• Distance up to 300 meters over multi-mode fiber, making it suitable for campus backbones, server-to-switch connections, and other short-reach deployments where reliable 10G performance is essential.
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) provides real-time optical parameters and module health data, including TX/RX power, temperature, and supply voltage, to help you optimize performance and proactively address issues.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite SFP+ 10G-SR

• Power down the device (switch, router, or network appliance) before removing or inserting any transceivers to avoid damage.
• Open the SFP+ slot on the chassis or device and align the transceiver with the connector orientation. The module should slide in with a firm, single-click seating.
• Insert the transceiver straight into the SFP+ slot until it is fully seated and the retention mechanism locks into place.
• Connect fiber using a clean, properly mated LC duplex MMF cable. Do not bend fibers sharply and maintain the recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity.
• Power up and verify after installation. Check link status, LED indicators, and device logs to confirm a stable 10G link. Use the device’s management interface to verify DDM data if available.
