Alcatel Lucent - Module transceiver SFP+ - 10 GigE

For networks where every watt and millimetre counts, the Alcatel-Lucent SFP-10G-LR transceiver stands apart from generic 10G optics through its strict adherence to IEEE 802.3ae and SFF-8431/8432 standards. This plug-in SFP+ module delivers full-duplex 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fibre, reaching up to 10 km without repeaters—ideal for enterprise backbones, data centre interconnects, and carrier access links. Its integrated Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) gives you real-time visibility into transmit/receive power, temperature, and laser bias, so troubleshooting becomes proactive rather than reactive.

Highlights

• 10GBASE-LR compliance for long-reach single-mode links up to 10 km
• 1310 nm wavelength with LC/PC duplex connector for standard SMF patching
• Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor for zero-downtime installation and replacement
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for live health metrics
• Low power consumption under 1.0 W, reducing thermal load in dense switches
• Broad operating range from 0°C to 70°C, suitable for most data centre environments

In daily use

Deploying the SFP-10G-LR is straightforward: insert it into any SFP+ cage on Alcatel-Lucent or compatible switches, connect your existing single-mode LC patch cable, and the link comes up at 10 Gbps full duplex. The module’s hot-swap capability means you can add or replace optics without powering down the chassis, minimising service interruptions. DOM support lets network administrators monitor optical parameters via standard management interfaces, enabling early detection of degrading links or failing lasers. With an MTBF exceeding 500,000 hours, this transceiver is built for years of continuous operation in mission-critical paths.
