• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ER standard compliance ensures optical interoperability with any standards-compliant 10G ER receiver at 40km, eliminating vendor lock-in for long-haul single-mode links
• 1550nm wavelength selection minimizes chromatic dispersion and attenuation over G.652 single-mode fibre, enabling the full 40km reach without dispersion compensation or inline amplification
• SFF-8472 digital diagnostics expose transmit power, receive power, temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage in real time, enabling proactive link troubleshooting and optical budget verification
• Hot-swappable SFP+ mechanical design supports live insertion and removal without disrupting adjacent ports or requiring host reboot, critical for maintaining uptime during network expansion
• Low power dissipation under 1.5W per module reduces cooling requirements in high-density SFP+ line cards and minimizes total cost of ownership in metro and campus backbone deployments
• Duplex LC/UPC physical contact connectors provide low insertion loss and return loss when mated with OS2 patch cords, suitable for metropolitan area networks, data centre interconnect, and enterprise WAN links
