Ruckus 10G-SFPP-LRM SFP transceiver module 10GbE

Ruckus 10G-SFPP-LRM SFP transceiver module 10GbE

Overview

The 10G-SFPP-LRM is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ transceiver module designed for cost-effective short-reach multimode fiber (MMF) uplinks or limited-distance single-mode fiber (SMF) use in enterprise wiring closets, data-center access layers, and campus backbone links. With support for 10 Gb/s full-duplex operation, this module lets network engineers populate existing MMF cabling (for example OM3/OM4) for 10G transport without the expense of rewiring to single-mode or installing longer-reach optics. It is typically used to connect switches within the same room or floor, support server uplinks, or link adjacent closets up to a couple of hundred metres. The LRM (Long Reach Multimode) designation means that it compensates for modal dispersion and allows use over legacy MMF segments (e.g., OM1 or OM2) up to certain distances, giving flexibility in inconsistent fiber plants. Moreover, the SFP+ form-factor supports hot-swapping, low power consumption and compatibility with a wide range of vendor switch platforms. For IT hardware procurement, this module offers a pragmatic migration path to 10 GbE in networks where budget constraints or fibre-cable plant restrictions apply.

Key Features

• 10 Gb/s full-duplex SFP+ transceiver for enterprise uplinks.

• Supports multimode fiber (MMF) runs up to ~220 m and some SMF usage — ideal for wiring-closet aggregation.

• Hot-pluggable SFP+ form-factor with LC duplex connector for broad vendor compatibility.

• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support for temperature, voltage and optical channel diagnostics.

• Enables 10G upgrades over existing fiber infrastructure without full rewiring or costly long-reach optics.
