• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR compliance ensures standards-based interoperability with any vendor's 10G single-mode Ethernet port, while multirate chipset support extends functionality to CPRI data rates for mobile fronthaul and wireless backhaul links
• Industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C) with ruggedized construction enables deployment in outdoor cabinets, rooftop installations, desert or arctic climates, and telecom enclosures without environmental controls
• CPRI options 3 through 8 (2.458 Gbps to 10.138 Gbps) support legacy 4G LTE radio access network architectures, including baseband-to-remote radio head connections in C-RAN fronthaul topologies
• 1310nm DFB laser transmitter and APD receiver deliver 6.2dB link budget, sufficient for 10km over G.652 fibre with margin for splices, connectors, and ageing, and enabling engineered links up to 15km under low-loss conditions
• SFF-8472 DOM interface exposes transmit power, receive power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage via I2C, enabling proactive link monitoring and fault isolation without specialized test equipment
• Hot-swappable SFP+ MSA form factor (SFF-8431, SFF-8432) allows field replacement during maintenance windows without chassis power-down or traffic disruption to adjacent ports
