SFP+ Transceiver HP Enterprise ProCurve 10-GbE LRM module for multimode fiber

SFP+ Transceiver HP Enterprise ProCurve 10-GbE LRM module for multimode fiber provides a compact optical interface for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode cabling. Designed to fit SFP+ ports on switches and routers compatible with ProCurve optics, this module supports short-reach multimode fiber installations where the LRM (Long Reach Multimode) specification applies. The module simplifies upgrades and spare inventory by offering a small form-factor pluggable solution for 10-GbE data connectivity.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 10 Gbps throughput in a low-profile SFP+ package that reduces space and power compared with larger optics. It is intended for multimode fiber runs conforming to LRM standards, enabling reliable short-reach connectivity without requiring full-size XFP or CFP modules. Compatibility with ProCurve-capable ports helps streamline deployment and spare management while maintaining standard optical interfaces for easy insertion and replacement.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber in data centers and server rooms
• Upgrading or expanding ProCurve-compatible switches and routers to 10-GbE
• Maintaining spare optics inventory for mixed multimode fiber plant
• Patch-panel to switch connections within the same building or floor

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps)
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF) compliant with LRM specification
• Reach: Short-reach links suitable for multimode cabling environments
• Connector type: Standard duplex optical connector for multimode transceivers
• Power and thermal: Low-profile SFP+ power envelope suitable for high-density ports

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch or router until it seats and the retention mechanism engages. Connect the multimode duplex fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network port according to the switch or router documentation for 10-GbE operation, verify link status and diagnostics via management interfaces, and monitor for proper optical levels. When removing the module, disable the port if required, release the retention latch, and handle the transceiver and fiber with protective caps to avoid contamination.

Recommendations

Use this SFP+ module with multimode fiber that meets LRM requirements and verify connector cleanliness before mating. Check switch vendor compatibility for ProCurve optics and confirm supported link distances on your multimode cabling type. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and avoid touching optical endfaces to maintain signal integrity.
