StarTech SFP10GBSRST Cisco Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP Transceiver Module 850nm 300m

Overview :

The StarTech SFP10GBSRST is a professional-grade, hot-swappable fiber-optic transceiver module designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is primarily utilized by network administrators and data center engineers to establish high-bandwidth links between switches, routers, and servers in enterprise-level networks.

Technically, this SFP+ module is engineered to be 100% compatible with Cisco equipment, specifically programmed to mimic the Cisco SFP-10G-SR. It operates over multi-mode fiber (MMF) cabling at a wavelength of 850nm. Using LC duplex connectors, it supports data transfer distances of up to 300 meters (984 ft) over OM3 or OM4 cabling, making it the industry standard for short-range backbone connections within a single building or rack. The module also supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM), which provides real-time access to operating parameters such as temperature, laser bias current, and optical power.

Deployment is seamless across MSA-compliant networking hardware, offering a reliable and cost-effective alternative to OEM-branded modules without compromising performance. Its low power consumption (under 1.0W) helps reduce the overall thermal load in high-density switch environments. This module is designed for 10Gbps applications and is not backward compatible with standard 1Gbps SFP ports unless specified by the host hardware.
