• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR compliance ensures standards-based interoperability with any vendor platform supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-reach links at 850nm over multimode fibre
• SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 MSA compliance defines the electrical interface, signaling rate (9.95 to 11.1 GBd), and mechanical form factor, ensuring host compatibility across SFP+ slots
• VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver deliver 10.3 Gbps bi-directional throughput with a minimum optical link budget of 6.1 dB, suitable for intra-rack and short campus links
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (SFF-8472) exposes real-time transmit/receive optical power, laser bias current, module temperature, and supply voltage via I2C for proactive link health monitoring
• Operating data rate range of 1.25 to 10.31 Gbps supports both Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet on the same physical module, enabling mixed-speed deployments
• Hot-pluggable design with commercial operating temperature range (0 to 70 degrees C) and 1W maximum power consumption supports dense switch installations without additional cooling
• Compatible with both OM3 and OM4 multimode fibre: OM3 delivers 300m reach, OM4 extends to 400m, enabling flexible cabling choices based on installed infrastructure
