• IEEE 802.3aq compliance delivers 10.3125 Gbps line rate with 64b/66b encoding, ensuring full compatibility with any 10GBASE-LRM link partner regardless of vendor
• 1310nm Fabry-Perot laser technology enables consistent 220m reach across all multimode fibre grades, solving the distance limitation of 10GBASE-SR on legacy OM1 and OM2 plant
• Mode conditioning patch cord mandatory for FDDI-grade, OM1, and OM2 fibre to couple the transmitter correctly and prevent differential mode delay; OM3, OM4, and single-mode fibre require standard LC patch cords only
• Single-mode fibre capability extends reach to 300m over G.652 without mode conditioning, offering deployment flexibility for mixed-fibre environments or short single-mode runs
• Digital diagnostics (DDM) accessible via SFF-8472 interface provide real-time visibility into transmit power, receive power, temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current
• Hot-swappable SFP+ MSA form factor with duplex LC interface supports field installation and replacement without powering down the host platform
• Minimum link distance of 2m per IEEE 802.3ae allows rack-internal and adjacent-rack connections without optical attenuation
