Description

ZYXEL SFP10G-SR-E SFP+ Module

The ZYXEL SFP10G-SR-E SFP+ Module is a high-performance, plug-and-play 10 Gigabit optical transceiver designed for today’s data centers, enterprise networks, and high-speed server connections. Built to industry standards and MSA specifications, this transceiver ensures seamless cross-vendor compatibility, letting you mix and match switches and optics without proprietary lock-in. With a focus on reliability, efficiency, and easy deployment, it’s the ideal uplink or inter-switch connection for multi-mode fiber networks demanding low latency, high throughput, and durable performance.

  • Industry-standard 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver: The SFP10G-SR-E adheres to the 10GBASE-SR specification and the SFP+ form factor, delivering reliable 10 gigabits per second over short-range multimode fiber. Its design aligns with the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) guidelines, promoting broad compatibility across switches, routers, and other network gear from multiple vendors. This means you can upgrade or reconfigure your network without becoming locked into a single vendor ecosystem.
  • MMF compatibility with long-reach options: Optimized for multi-mode fiber, the module provides superb performance on common MMF installations. It supports distances typical for 10GBASE-SR: up to 300 meters on OM3 fiber and up to 400 meters on OM4 fiber, enabling efficient connections between top-of-rack switches, aggregation layers, and server/storage arrays within data centers or campus networks. This flexibility helps you design scalable, cost-effective networks with existing fiber infrastructure.
  • Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) and build quality: The transceiver includes DOM capability, giving administrators real-time insight into transmitter and receiver performance, laser temperature, and optical power levels. This monitoring enables proactive maintenance, faster fault isolation, and improved link reliability. Coupled with strict quality control and robust ESD protections, the SFP10G-SR-E delivers dependable performance in demanding environments.
  • Easy, hot-pluggable deployment and reliable operation: As a hot-pluggable SFP+ module, it supports seamless installation into compatible network devices without powering down the system in most cases. A durable housing and secure locking mechanism protect the module from accidental disconnections, while its low power profile helps minimize energy usage in dense data-center deployments. The result is a streamlined deployment experience with minimal downtime.
  • Cross-vendor compatibility and optimized efficiency: Zyxel engineered this module to follow standard specifications so it works not only with Zyxel switches and routers but also with a wide range of third-party devices. This makes it an excellent choice for mixed-vendor environments where interoperability, maintainability, and consistent performance matter. With efficient optical performance and reliable operation, it supports high-bandwidth applications—from virtualization and storage replication to cloud-facing services.

How to install ZYXEL SFP10G-SR-E SFP+ Module

  • Power down or ensure that your network device supports hot-swapping before installation, then locate an available SFP+ port.
  • Remove the empty SFP+ cage or prepare the slot, taking care not to touch optical connectors or the alignment pins.
  • Insert the ZYXEL SFP10G-SR-E module into the SFP+ slot with the connector facing the correct orientation and firmly press until you hear a click, indicating a secure fit.
  • Connect the duplex multimode fiber cabling to the LC connectors, ensuring the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) fibers are correctly matched to the corresponding ports on the opposite device.
  • Power on the device (if not using hot-swapped operation) and verify link status through the device’s management interface. If DOM is supported, monitor the link health and optical power levels to confirm proper operation.
