Extralink SFP+ 10G modules in 2-pack – reliable optical connection for professional networks
The Extralink 10 gigabit SFP+ optical module set is an ideal choice for those looking to establish a stable, high-speed optical network connection in data centers, corporate environments, or demanding home systems. The package includes two single-mode SFP+ transceiver modules equipped with LC/UPC connectors operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, which can provide transmission distances of up to 10 km.
Main features and benefits
- 10 Gbps data transfer speed for high bandwidth applications
- Single-mode (SM) optical module with long range
- LC/UPC connector compatibility with standard optical patch cables
- Laser operating at 1310 nm wavelength for long-distance connections
- Up to 10 km range for urban and backbone networks
- DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) support for monitoring optical parameters
- Two modules in one package – favorable solution for establishing links
Easy establishment of 10 Gbps optical networks
The 10G SFP+ modules allow for easy expansion of existing network infrastructure or the establishment of new high-performance optical links between switches, routers, servers, and other network devices. The 10 Gbps bandwidth enables:
- fast transmission of large amounts of data between data center servers,
- efficient servicing of virtualization environments, SAN and NAS storage systems,
- stable servicing of IP cameras, VoIP systems, and high-resolution streaming.
Single-mode optical transmission at 1310 nm wavelength
Single-mode optical technology provides low attenuation and long distances. The 1310 nm laser wavelength is particularly suitable for urban (MAN) and corporate backbone networks, where reliability and durable operation are fundamental requirements.
The range of up to 10 km makes the module pair ideal for:
- optical connections between office buildings,
- backbone sections of campus networks,
- long optical links established by internet service providers or system administrators.
LC/UPC connector – widespread and easy to use
The modules feature LC/UPC connectors, which are one of the most common interfaces in the world of high-density optical patch panels and network devices. Their advantages include:
- small size – more ports can fit on a single panel or switch,
- good fit and low reflection,
- widespread compatibility with existing optical cables and patch panels.
If you already have optical cables with LC connectors, this module can be immediately integrated into your existing infrastructure.
DOM – digital optical monitoring for stable operation
The built-in DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) function allows for real-time tracking of the optical parameters. This is particularly useful for network operators and administrators who:
- want to proactively signal potential faults,
- want to monitor optical performance and temperature,
- rely on detailed diagnostics during troubleshooting.
With DOM, the module's status can be checked through the compatible switch or router interface, thus preventing unexpected network outages.
Compatibility and application areas
The SFP+ standard-compliant modules are widely compatible with network devices from major manufacturers (switch, router, media converter, server network card) that support 10G SFP+ ports. The 2-pack is particularly practical for:
- building point-to-point (point-to-point) optical links,
- establishing data center uplinks and aggregation connections,
- expanding corporate backbone networks,
- building service provider backhaul networks.
Why choose this 10G SFP+ solution?
- Reliable, stable performance even in critical network environments.
- High-speed, low-latency data transmission.
- Favorable price-performance ratio due to the two-module packaging.
- Flexibly integrable into existing optical infrastructures.
- Professional networking solution for small and large enterprises, as well as service providers.
Summary
This 10 Gbps, single-mode, LC/UPC connector-equipped SFP+ module package is an ideal choice for any application requiring a high-speed, reliable optical network connection of up to 10 km. Thanks to DOM support, network operators gain detailed insights into the optical link's status, facilitating maintenance and reducing the risk of outages.
