Intel 10G SFP+ optical modules, such as the E10GSFPSR, provide high-speed, reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for data centers and enterprise networks.

Overview

Intel 10G SFP+ optical modules are designed to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) and 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) connectivity over fiber optic networks. The E10GSFPSR model supports short-range (SR) multi-mode fiber connections and is compatible with Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapters, including the X520 series, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance .

Key Features

• Data Rates: Supports both 10 GbE and 1 GbE for flexible deployment .
• Distance: Can extend Ethernet connections up to 300 meters over multi-mode fiber, suitable for connecting servers to Top of Rack (ToR) or End of Row (EoR) switches .
• Form Factor: Small Form-Factor Pluggable Enhanced (SFP+) design allows hot-pluggable installation in high-density environments .
• Signal Integrity: Uses VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) technology, providing immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), .
• Power and Size: Compact and lightweight, consuming less power than copper alternatives, with a tighter bend radius and longer reach .
• Security and Reliability: Fiber optics are resistant to electrical interference and network tapping, enhancing secure data transmission .
• Diagnostics: Built-in digital diagnostic functions allow for real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, and optical power for easier troubleshooting .
• Compliance: RoHS-6 compliant, ensuring environmentally safe construction .

Use Cases

• Data Centers: Connecting servers to switches in high-density racks.
• Enterprise Networks: Extending Ethernet connections over longer distances than copper cabling allows.
• Virtualization and SAN/LAN Networking: Provides scalable, high-speed connections for virtualized environments .
• Harsh Environments: Fiber optics provide stable performance in areas with electrical noise or interference .

Compatibility and Installation

• Only Intel-certified SFP+ modules are guaranteed to work with Intel Ethernet adapters like the X520 series .
• When connecting two Intel SFP+ devices back-to-back, ensure matching speed and duplex settings to avoid performance issues .
• Hot-pluggable design allows for easy installation and replacement without powering down devices . Intel 10G SFP+ optical modules, particularly the E10GSFPSR, are factory new, genuine Intel products, ensuring compatibility, reliability, and long-term performance for enterprise and data center networking applications .
