• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR compliance ensures optical interoperability with 10GBASE XENPAK, X2, and XFP form factors on the same link, enabling mixed-generation deployments
• Single-rate Ethernet operation at 10.3125 Gbps with commercial temperature range (0 to 70 degrees C), purpose-built for enterprise and data centre environments without storage or transport protocol requirements
• 1310nm DFB laser transmitter with extinction ratio ≥ 3.5 dB and spectral width ≤ 1.0 nm guarantees clean signal transmission over G.652 single-mode fibre
• DOM capability via SFF-8472 two-wire serial interface provides real-time monitoring of five operating parameters plus alarm and warning flags for proactive link management
• Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor supports field installation and replacement without service interruption or chassis power-down
• Minimum 2m cabling distance per IEEE 802.3ae specification prevents receiver saturation on very short campus or intra-rack links
• S-Class architecture omits FCoE, OTN, and WAN-PHY multirate support to deliver cost-optimised 10GbE connectivity for pure Ethernet applications
