HPE 10G SFP+ LC SR 300m OM3 MMF Transceiver

The HPE 10G SFP+ LC SR 300m OM3 MMF Transceiver is engineered to elevate your data networking capabilities with high-speed, reliable connectivity tailored for modern data centers and enterprise networks. Designed for uplinks, server-to-switch connectivity, and top-of-rack deployments, this compact SFP+ module delivers the performance you need for latency-sensitive applications while staying easy to install and widely compatible with a broad range of switches and routers. With an LC duplex connector, 850 nm wavelength, and support for 10GBASE-SR on OM3 multimode fiber, it’s a proven solution for expanding bandwidth without sacrificing reliability or manageability.

Efficient 10G Uplinks for Dense Data Centers — This transceiver delivers 10 gigabits per second of optical bandwidth, enabling fast, low-latency uplinks between core switches, aggregation layers, and storage networks. The SR designation indicates short-reach performance on multimode fiber, making it ideal for data centers that rely on high-density interconnects and compact chassis layouts. By upgrading to 10G SFP+ SR modules like this one, IT teams can accelerate data transfer, reduce congestion, and improve application responsiveness across the network.

OM3 Multimode Fiber Ready — Optimized for OM3 fiber, the transceiver achieves its best performance over 50/125 μm multimode cabling. OM3 fiber is designed for high-bandwidth multiplexing and longer reach within data centers, enabling more flexible cable plant design and easier corridor implementation. The 850 nm laser source combined with the OM3 modal bandwidth delivers stable, high-quality signals over the recommended distances, making it a dependable choice for racks and rows in modern environments.

Compact, Pluggable SFP+ Form Factor — The SFP+ footprint provides a plug-and-play upgrade path that reduces downtime and simplifies inventory management. This module is hot-swappable in compliant switches, meaning you can insert or replace it without powering down the device in many setups. The LC duplex connector aligns with standard fiber infrastructure, facilitating straightforward patching and robust physical compatibility across a wide range of switch models and vendors.

Plug-and-Play with Broad Vendor Support — Built to the industry-standard SFP+ and 10GBASE-SR specifications, this transceiver blends seamlessly into mixed-vendor environments. IT teams can deploy it alongside other 10G links to create scalable uplinks, server connections, and storage networks. Its compatibility helps protect existing investments and simplifies future network refreshes while delivering predictable performance and reliability.

Diagnostics, Reliability, and Management — Many SFP+ SR modules support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enabling real-time visibility into optical power, temperature, and other critical parameters. This empowers network administrators to monitor link health, preemptively address issues, and maintain service levels. The HPE transceiver is designed with robust construction and burn-in testing to ensure consistent performance under typical data-center operating conditions, contributing to lower maintenance costs and fewer field service calls.
