Description
Engineered for peak performance in Luxul networks, this 10G MMF Duplex SFP+ module delivers reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity over OM3 fiber using an 850nm VCSEL transmitter. Specifically designed for Luxul switches with SFP+ ports, the DX duplex transceiver combines easy plug‑and‑play deployment with robust, enterprise‑grade reliability. It’s the ideal upgrade for offices, data centers, and campus networks seeking scalable, low‑latency fiber links up to 300 meters, without sacrificing compatibility or ease of use.
- Designed for Luxul SFP+ ports to enable seamless integration within Luxul‑managed networks, delivering true 10 Gbps performance with minimal downtime and optimized interoperability across devices in your environment.
- Duplex (DX) mode with LC duplex connectors supports full‑duplex 10G transmission over multimode OM3 fiber. The 850nm VCSEL transmitter is optimized for short‑range, high‑bandwidth links, making it ideal for mid‑distance backbone connections, server farm uplinks, and high‑throughput workgroup networks.
- OM3 multimode fiber compatibility allows you to leverage existing fiber infrastructure. This module provides a cost‑effective upgrade path from older 1G links to 10G, enabling faster data transfers, improved backups, and smoother real‑time collaboration across the network.
- Durable, hot‑swappable SFP+ form factor with a compact design that fits a wide range of Luxul switches and other SFP+ capable devices. Built to withstand steady network operation, it offers reliable performance in enterprise environments while preserving ease of maintenance and rapid replacement in the field.
- Versatile deployment options across data centers, edge deployments, education campuses, and enterprise networks. With 10GBASE‑SR‑style capabilities over OM3, it supports bandwidth‑hungry applications such as virtualization, large file transfers, video conferencing, and real‑time analytics without compromising latency or congestion.

how to install Luxul 10G MMF DX SFP+ Module
- Identify a Luxul switch that includes an available SFP+ port and verify the module is the Luxul 10G MMF DX LC SFP+ transceiver designed for 850nm operation.
- Prepare the OM3 multimode fiber by ensuring the fiber ends are clean and properly terminated with LC connectors. Inspect the connectors for any dust or debris to prevent signal loss.
- Gently align the SFP+ module with the SFP+ port in the switch. Insert the module straight into the slot until it seats securely with a firm, audible click. Do not force the module beyond the receptacle.
- Connect the OM3 fiber to the LC duplex connectors on the module, ensuring correct polarity and secure fastening. Avoid bending fibers beyond the recommended bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
- Power on or verify the switch if it is already on. Use the switch’s management interface to confirm link status, monitor LED indicators for 10G activity, and configure port settings as needed (e.g., VLAN tagging, link aggregation, or QoS policies).
Frequently asked questions
Q: What devices is this SFP+ module compatible with?
A: It is designed for Luxul Ethernet switches that feature SFP+ ports and supports 850nm MMF Duplex operation over OM3 fiber, enabling 10Gbps links up to 300 meters. While optimized for Luxul products, it should be used in systems that explicitly support Luxul SFP+ modules and OM3 fiber links.
Q: What fiber type and distance can I expect?
A: The module operates over OM3 multimode fiber and can reach up to 300 meters in proper fiber installations. Actual distance can vary based on fiber quality, connectors, and installation conditions, so testing is recommended after deployment.
Q: Is this module hot‑swappable?
A: Yes. SFP+ modules like this one are designed to be hot‑swappable, allowing replacement or upgrades with minimal downtime. Always follow your device’s manual and standard safety procedures when handling hot components.
Q: Which wavelength does this transceiver use and what standard does it support?
A: The transceiver uses an 850 nm VCSEL and is intended for 10GBASE‑SR‑style operation over OM3 fiber in duplex DX mode. This makes it suitable for high‑speed server and switch interconnects requiring reliable 10G performance.
Q: Do I need special configuration beyond plug‑and‑play?
A: In most Luxul deployments, the module will negotiate automatically or require only basic port configuration. For advanced setups, you may need to adjust VLANs, trunking, or link aggregation (LACP) settings in the switch management interface to align with your network design.
