Know before you buy
The SFP-10G-ER is designed for long-haul connectivity and supports data transmission over single-mode optical fiber up to 40 kilometers.
Yes, because this module is MSA-compliant, it is designed to work with a wide range of third-party networking hardware that adheres to the same industry standards.
Yes, it features Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), which allows you to track critical parameters like optical output power, input power, and temperature in real time.
Yes, this module requires a regulated operating environment. It is sensitive to temperature fluctuations, so ensure your server room or data center maintains a stable climate.
Due to the technology required for long-distance transmission, this module has slightly higher latency compared to short-reach or direct-attach copper cables. It is best suited for long-haul backbone links rather than high-frequency trading or ultra-low-latency applications.
Yes, the SFP-10G-ER features a hot-swappable form factor, meaning you can install or replace it in a compatible port without having to power down your networking switch.
