Description

The SFP-1G-SX-Dell-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Dell SFP-1G-SX and equivalent part numbers including 407-BBOR, 407-10587, and 407-BCDU. It delivers plug-and-play compatibility with Dell networking switches, routers, and servers that support SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. - Complies with IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard, guaranteeing multi-vendor interoperability across MSA-compliant platforms - SFP form factor with LC duplex connector, 850nm wavelength, 1.25 Gbps data rate over multi-mode fibre - Supports transmission up to 550m on OM2, OM3, or OM4 multi-mode fibre (220m on 62.5/125um OM1 fibre) - Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DOM) provides real-time visibility into optical power, temperature, bias current, and voltage - Available in multiple Dell-compatible part number variants: SFP-1G-SX-Dell, 407-BBOR, 407-10587, 407-BCDU - Hot-swappable module with VCSEL transmitter technology for low power consumption and reliable short-reach connectivity

Features

• IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX compliance guarantees standards-based interoperability with any MSA-compliant Gigabit Ethernet switch, router, or NIC, eliminating vendor lock-in for 1G short-reach links
• VCSEL transmitter operating at 850nm delivers low power consumption and stable optical performance optimized for multi-mode fibre, with typical power dissipation well under 1W
• DOM function exposes real-time diagnostic parameters including transmitted and received optical power levels, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage via MSA EEPROM interface for proactive network monitoring
• Maximum transmission distance of 550m on OM2, OM3, or OM4 fibre covers typical intra-building, rack-to-rack, and enterprise campus access layer deployments without requiring single-mode infrastructure
• Hot-swappable design supports seamless installation and removal from live SFP cages without powering down host equipment, reducing planned downtime during upgrades or troubleshooting
• Multi-rate support accommodates 100Mbps Fast Ethernet through 1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet and 1G Fibre Channel protocols, enabling gradual migration from legacy network speeds to full Gigabit performance
• Operates within 0 to 70°C commercial temperature range with single 3.3V power supply, suitable for controlled data centre and enterprise wiring closet environments

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Dell SFP-1G-SX, 407-BBOR, 407-10587, or 407-BCDU?
A: Yes. This module is fully compatible with all four Dell part numbers. It conforms to the 1000BASE-SX standard (IEEE 802.3z) and the SFP MSA specification, delivering the same 1.25 Gbps data rate, 850nm wavelength, and LC connector interface. It is plug-and-play compatible with Dell switches, routers, and servers that support SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Q: Which Dell platforms are compatible with this transceiver?
A: This transceiver is compatible with Dell Networking switches and servers that feature SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports conforming to the SFP MSA standard. This includes Dell Networking S-series, N-series, X-series, and PowerConnect platforms, as well as PowerEdge servers with SFP network interface cards. Compatibility is determined by the host device supporting standard 1000BASE-SX SFP modules, not by specific model restrictions.

Q: What fibre type and length does this module support, and how does OM3 or OM4 differ from OM1?
A: This module requires multi-mode fibre and operates at 850nm. On OM2, OM3, or OM4 fibre (50/125um core), it supports transmission up to 550m. On older OM1 fibre (62.5/125um core), the maximum reach is limited to 220m due to higher modal dispersion. OM3 and OM4 fibres are laser-optimized with lower attenuation and better bandwidth characteristics, enabling longer reach and higher reliability for 1G SX links compared to OM1.

Q: Does this transceiver support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring, and what parameters can be monitored?
A: Yes, this module includes full DOM (DDM) functionality. It provides real-time access to five key operating parameters: transmitted optical power, received optical power, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage. These diagnostics are accessible via the MSA-compatible EEPROM interface and can be read by most network management systems supporting SNMP or vendor CLI tools, enabling proactive fault isolation and link budget monitoring.

Q: Can this transceiver be used in the same switch alongside SFP+ 10G modules or other SFP form factors?
A: Yes, in most cases. This 1G SFP module can coexist with SFP+ 10G modules in compatible switch platforms that support mixed-rate operation. The SFP and SFP+ form factors share the same physical footprint and electrical interface, and many Dell switches auto-negotiate the data rate per port. However, confirm that the specific switch model supports mixed SFP and SFP+ operation, as some older platforms may have restrictions or require ports to be grouped by speed.
