Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cisco-Compatible SFP-10G-SR-S SFP+ Transceiver - 10GBase-SR, DDM, Multimode LC, 850 nm, 300M (984.25 ft.)

Upgrade your Cisco network with the Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cisco-Compatible SFP-10G-SR-S SFP+ Transceiver. Engineered for reliability and high performance, this SFP+ module delivers true 10 Gigabit connectivity over multimode fiber, enabling fast uplinks between switches and servers, high-speed data transfers, and seamless workload offloads in data centers and campus networks. Specifically designed for Cisco environments, it plugs into standard SFP+ slots and delivers plug-and-play compatibility that minimizes deployment time and avoids costly downtime. With Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM), network administrators gain real-time visibility into critical operating parameters—optical power, temperature, voltage, and transceiver health—so you can monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain optimal link quality with confidence. The compact, hot-swappable form factor makes replacements quick and simple, helping you keep critical paths active and your networks resilient. Whether you’re building a new 10G backbone or refreshing aging infrastructure, this transceiver offers an efficient, cost-effective solution that fits neatly into existing multimode fiber deployments up to 300 meters.

• High-speed 10GBASE-SR performance: This SFP+ transceiver uses an 850 nm laser optimized for multimode fiber to deliver steady, high-bandwidth links. It supports 10 Gbps data transfer with reliable performance over short-range links, making it ideal for data center racks, server-to-switch uplinks, and high-density edge connections. Expect low bit error rates, robust optical power handling, and consistent performance across a range of multistripe MMF cabling, all within a compact SFP+ footprint.
• Cisco-compatible, plug-and-play: Engineered to integrate effortlessly with Cisco switches and servers, this transceiver adheres to industry-standard SFP+ specifications for straightforward installation. No complex reconfiguration is required—simply insert into a compatible Cisco device, connect your MMF duplex LC cable, and power up. The result is a reliable, out-of-the-box solution that reduces installation time and preserves network uptime.
• DDM support for proactive monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring provides real-time data on critical conditions such as optical transmit/receive power, temperature, and supply voltage. With DDM, administrators can verify link integrity, preempt potential faults, and perform precise troubleshooting without removing the transceiver from service, helping to minimize downtime and extend equipment life.
• Multimode LC duplex connectivity: The transceiver features a standard LC duplex fiber optic interface designed for multimode fiber. This enables straightforward integration with existing multimode cabling and patch panels, supporting common short-reach deployments in data centers and campus networks. Its robust mechanical fit and low insertion loss contribute to dependable, repeatable performance in dense rack environments.
• Durable, hot-swappable design backed by quality you can trust: Built for busy networks, the SFP+ transceiver is designed for hot-swapping in live environments, reducing maintenance windows and downtime. Leveraging Eaton Tripp Lite’s quality manufacturing, this module delivers consistent performance, solid eye safety margins, and reliable operation across typical data center conditions.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cisco-Compatible SFP-10G-SR-S SFP+ Transceiver

• Plan downtime or schedule a maintenance window: While this is a hot-swappable module, it’s good practice to perform installations during a maintenance window to minimize potential impact on production traffic.
• Power down or prepare the device for hot-swap (if required): For most environments you can perform hot-swaps without powering down the chassis, but consult your device’s operational guidelines if in doubt.
• Insert the transceiver into the SFP+ slot: Align the module with the slot and gently push until it clicks into place. Ensure that the bail latch is secure and the module is seated evenly to avoid contact issues or misalignment.
• Connect the fiber cable: Attach a duplex multimode LC fiber patch cord to the transceiver and connect the other end to the corresponding transceiver or optical patch panel. Verify proper polarity and seating, and avoid bending the fiber beyond its minimum bend radius.
• Power up and verify link status: Enable the device or port if necessary and check the interface status LEDs. A healthy link typically indicates a solid connection with the expected speed (10G) and duplex settings.
• Configure the network device (Cisco) for 10G operation and monitor with DDM: On Cisco devices, ensure the interface is configured for 10G operation (example: set the interface to the appropriate speed or rely on auto-negotiation) and enable any required features. Use the DDM readings to monitor optical power, temperature, and voltage to confirm the link remains within specification.
