CPAC-TR-10LR-D-BCC | Checkpoint Compatible 10GB Single-Mode 10km (10GBASE-LR)

Q: Will this work in place of the Check Point CPAC-TR-10LR-D?
A: Yes. This module is engineered as a plug-and-play replacement for the CPAC-TR-10LR-D. It matches the 10GBASE-LR standard (IEEE 802.3ae), SFP+ form factor, 1310nm wavelength, and 10km reach specification, ensuring full functional equivalence in Check Point security appliances with 10G SFP+ ports.

Q: Which Check Point platforms support this transceiver?
A: This module is compatible with Check Point security appliances and interface cards featuring 10G SFP+ ports, including Quantum Force 29200 series appliances and CPAC-4-10/25F-D interface cards. It works in any Check Point device with a standard SFP+ slot designed for 10GBASE-LR modules.

Q: What single-mode fiber type is required to achieve the full 10km reach?
A: This transceiver is designed for ITU-T G.652 standard single-mode fiber (OS2). The 10km reach assumes typical fiber attenuation of 0.5 dB/km at 1310nm and connector/splice loss within the module's link budget. Actual reach depends on total path loss including fiber quality, connector cleanliness, and any inline splices or patch panels.

Q: Can I access DDM parameters to monitor link health?
A: Yes. The module supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) per SFF-8472, exposing transmit optical power, receive optical power, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage. These parameters are accessible via the I2C interface on the host platform, typically visible through CLI commands or SNMP on Check Point Gaia OS.

Q: Does this module support operation at 1G speeds or only 10G?
A: This is a fixed-rate 10GBASE-LR module optimized for 10.3125 Gbps operation per IEEE 802.3ae. It does not support 1G fallback. If dual-rate or multi-rate operation is required, the host platform and link partner must both operate at 10G, or a different transceiver type must be used for 1G applications.
