Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP+ module operates on the 10GBase-SR standard, which specifies short-reach transmission over multi-mode fiber optic cable. It utilizes 850 nm wavelength optics to achieve a maximum distance of 0.30 km, making it suitable for intra-building and campus backbone links.
The module's electrical interface complies with SFP+ MSA specifications, ensuring interoperability with compliant host devices. It supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) for real-time performance tracking, though specific monitoring capabilities depend on the host system's implementation.
Key Product Advantages
The Ortronics 407-BBZM-A SFP+ module combines reliable performance with practical design benefits. Its multi-mode fiber support leverages existing OM3 or OM4 cable plant investments, while the LC duplex connector ensures secure, low-loss connections.
Dell Compatibility
Designed to work seamlessly with Dell networking switches and adapters, reducing compatibility concerns and simplifying procurement for Dell-centric environments.
High-Speed Performance
Delivers full 10 Gbps throughput with low latency, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications like virtualization, storage networking, and high-performance computing.
Deployment / Use Cases
This module is ideal for upgrading network segments to 10 Gigabit Ethernet without replacing entire cable infrastructures. It supports both optical network and data networking applications, providing flexibility for diverse deployment scenarios.
Common use cases include linking network switches in server racks, connecting network storage arrays, and extending high-speed links between buildings within a campus environment. The module's 0.30 km reach accommodates most intra-facility requirements while maintaining signal integrity.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect top-of-rack switches to aggregation or core switches within a data center, supporting server-to-server and storage traffic over short distances.
Enterprise Network Backbone
Extend 10GbE links between wiring closets and main distribution frames in office buildings, campuses, or industrial facilities.
Physical Profile
The Ortronics 407-BBZM-A SFP+ module features a compact form factor measuring 0.33" (8.50 mm) in height, 0.54" (13.70 mm) in width, and 2.30" (58.40 mm) in depth. This standardized size ensures compatibility with SFP+ slots in switches, routers, and network interface cards.
