FAQ
What Dell switch models is this transceiver compatible with?
This Axiom 430-4135-AX transceiver is compatible with numerous Dell PowerConnect and N-Series switches including PowerConnect 3000 Series (N3024, N3024F, N3024P), 5500 Series (5524, 5524P, 5548, 5548P), 6200 Series (6224, 6224P, 6224F, 6248, 6248P), 7000 Series (7024, 7024P, 7024F, 7048, 7048P, 7048R, 7048RA), 8000 Series (8024F), N2000 Series (N2048, N2048P), and N4000 Series (N4032F, N4064F, N4064). The MSA-compliant design ensures proper mechanical and electrical fit without requiring special firmware.
What type of fiber cable does this SFP+ transceiver require?
This transceiver requires multi-mode fiber optic cable with LC connectors. It's designed to work with standard 50/125μm or 62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber, supporting the 10GBASE-LRM standard which enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over legacy multi-mode fiber installations. The LC duplex connector provides a secure optical interface that's widely used in data center and enterprise networking environments.
What is the maximum distance this transceiver can support?
Using the 10GBASE-LRM (Long Reach Multimode) standard, this transceiver supports distances up to 220 meters over multi-mode fiber optic cable. This extended reach capability makes it particularly valuable for upgrading existing multi-mode fiber installations without requiring cable replacement, allowing organizations to achieve 10 Gigabit performance while maximizing their current infrastructure investments.
Does this transceiver support digital diagnostic monitoring?
Yes, this SFP+ transceiver supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) as defined by the SFF-8472 specification. This allows network administrators to monitor real-time performance parameters including temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, and received optical power. These monitoring capabilities enable proactive maintenance and troubleshooting, helping to maintain network reliability and performance.
What is the difference between 10GBASE-LRM and other 10G multi-mode standards?
10GBASE-LRM (Long Reach Multimode) is specifically designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over legacy multi-mode fiber installations, particularly those using older 62.5μm fiber. Unlike 10GBASE-SR which requires newer OM3/OM4 fiber for optimal performance, LRM uses electronic dispersion compensation to extend reach on existing fiber plants. This makes LRM transceivers ideal for network upgrades where replacing cabling isn't practical or cost-effective.
Is this transceiver hot-pluggable?
Yes, this SFP+ transceiver is fully hot-pluggable, meaning it can be installed or removed from a compatible switch port without powering down the switch. This feature enables easy maintenance, upgrades, and replacements without disrupting network operations. The module uses a standard SFP+ latch mechanism that securely holds it in place while allowing for tool-less insertion and removal when needed.
