• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ER compliance ensures electrical and optical conformance for multi-vendor single-mode 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments over standard G.652 and OS2 fibre plant
• 1550nm wavelength with cooled EML (Electroabsorption Modulated Laser) transmitter and APD receiver architecture delivers the link budget required for 40km extended-reach applications
• Industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) qualifies this module for outdoor cabinets, uncontrolled equipment rooms, and extreme-climate deployments where commercial-grade optics cannot operate
• DDM functionality exposes transmit power, receive power, bias current, module temperature, and supply voltage via the SFF-8472 two-wire serial interface for proactive fault isolation
• Hot-swap capability allows field insertion and removal without powering down the host system, reducing maintenance windows and improving operational availability
• 10.3125 Gbps line rate supports native 10 Gigabit Ethernet framing and can operate in systems designed for 10GBASE-ER / 10GBASE-EW specifications
• Single-mode fibre transmission over duplex LC reduces modal dispersion, enabling consistent 40km reach performance across OS2 9/125µm fibre infrastructure
