HPE 10G SFP+ LC LR 10km SMF Transceiver
The HPE 10G SFP+ LC LR 10km SMF Transceiver is a high-performance, hot-swappable module engineered for the most demanding data transmission environments. Designed to deliver fast, reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity over significant distances, this transceiver is the ideal choice for data centers, campus networks, enterprise cores, and storage area networks that require scalable, low-latency links with exceptional signal integrity. Built to integrate seamlessly with HPE networking gear, it combines robust build quality, pragmatic design, and proven interoperability to keep your critical applications running at peak performance.
- Uncompromising 10 Gigabit performance: This SFP+ transceiver supports 10GBASE-LR networks, delivering consistent, high-throughput data transfer with low jitter and minimal packet loss. Perfect for server-to-switch uplinks, storage replication, and high-performance computing clusters where every millisecond matters.
- Extended reach over single-mode fiber: Optimized for long-haul links, the LR designation enables reliable transmission up to 10 kilometers on standard single-mode fiber (SMF). The 1310 nm wavelength minimizes attenuation and dispersion, preserving signal integrity across expansive campus and data-center fabrics.
- Compact, industry-standard LC duplex interface: The LC duplex connector enables straightforward patching and compatibility with a wide range of fiber cables and transceivers. Its small form factor helps maximize rack density while maintaining flexible, scalable deployments in crowded environments.
- Intelligent diagnostics and management: With built-in digital diagnostics (DOM/DDM) support, you can monitor real-time operating parameters—laser bias current,temperature, and optical power—empowering proactive maintenance, faster troubleshooting, and improved link reliability across your network.
- Reliability, compatibility, and energy efficiency: This HPE transceiver is designed for seamless integration with HPE switches, routers, and storage networks, offering consistent performance across mixed-vendor environments when appropriate. It features dependable thermal performance, RoHS compliance, and energy-conscious operation suitable for modern datacenters.

How to install HPE 10G SFP+ LC LR 10km SMF Transceiver
- Power down or prepare for hot-swapping according to your equipment’s maintenance procedures, ensuring you follow proper ESD precautions before handling the transceiver.
- Identify an appropriate SFP+ slot on a compatible HPE switch, router, or server that supports 10GBASE-LR operation and is sized for LR-type hubs or uplinks.
- Align the transceiver with the module notch, insert firmly into the SFP+ slot, and engage the latch until you hear or feel a click indicating a secure connection.
- Connect your fiber optic link using a matching SMF patch cord with LC duplex connectors. Ensure the transmit and receive fibers are correctly paired (TX to RX).
- Power up the device and verify link status via the switch/router management interface. Check port speed configuration to ensure it is set to 10 Gbps and that LD and DOM indicators reflect healthy operation.
- If available, enable DOM monitoring to observe optical power, temperature, and other metrics. Update firmware on host devices if necessary to maximize compatibility and performance.
- Perform alignment checks and throughput tests to confirm the link meets your performance SLAs. Resolve any issues related to fiber quality, connector cleanliness, or mispairing promptly.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the maximum distance supported by the HPE 10G SFP+ LC LR transceiver?
- Answer: It supports up to 10 kilometers over standard single-mode fiber, making it suitable for mid-to-long-range links in data centers and campus networks.
- Does this transceiver support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DOM/DDM)?
- Answer: Yes, the module includes DOM/DDM to provide real-time insight into laser temperature, bias current, optical power, and other critical parameters for proactive maintenance.
- Is this transceiver compatible with non-HPE devices?
- Answer: It is designed for compatibility with enterprise-grade SFP+ interfaces and should function in mixed-vendor environments that adhere to SFP+ MSA standards; however, full feature support (such as DOM) may vary by vendor.
- What connector type does it use, and what fiber should I select?
- Answer: It uses a standard LC duplex connector and requires single-mode fiber to achieve the stated 10 km reach. Use a clean, properly terminated SMF patch cable with LC connectors for best results.
- What is the typical power consumption of the module?
- Answer: Power consumption is typically in the range of approximately 0.9 to 1.5 watts, depending on operating conditions and link settings.
- How do I know if the transceiver is recognized by my switch?
- Answer: After inserting the module and connecting fiber, check the switch’s management interface for an active SFP+ port status and link lights. If the port remains down, verify compatibility, slot type, and firmware versions on both devices.
