SFP+ Transceiver Extralink EX.35955 10Gbps 850nm Multimode 300m

Extralink EX.35955 is an SFP+ optical transceiver module designed for 10Gbps short-range links over multimode fiber. Operating at an 850nm wavelength, this compact hot-pluggable unit supports data center and enterprise networking needs by providing reliable 10G connectivity with a reach of up to 300 meters. The small form-factor and standardized SFP+ interface make it compatible with a wide range of switches, servers and optical equipment that accept SFP+ modules.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a balance of high throughput and compact size, enabling dense port deployments without adding significant heat or power load. Its hot-pluggable design allows rapid installation or replacement without powering down the host device. Engineered for multimode fiber at 850nm, it delivers predictable short-range performance up to 300 meters and supports common 10GbE applications in racks and wiring closets.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Short-range uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• High-speed connections to servers, storage arrays and blade chassis
• Campus network segments using multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 300 meters (on recommended multimode fiber)
• Connector type: duplex LC optical connector

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on the switch, server or network device until it clicks into place. Connect the duplex LC multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver, ensuring correct TX/RX orientation. After physical installation, verify link status and speed via the host device management interface; most compatible devices will automatically negotiate 10Gbps operation. For removal, follow the device manufacturer's hot-swap procedure to avoid port damage.

Recommendations

Use high-quality OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber and duplex LC patch cords for the best performance and to achieve the specified 300 m reach. Ensure proper transceiver compatibility with the host device and keep firmware updated on network equipment. For optimal link stability, avoid tight bends in fiber runs, maintain clean connector end-faces, and follow ESD handling precautions during installation.
