User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber optic cable does this SFP+ module require?
The Tripp Lite N286-10GLR-SLC module is designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cables terminated with LC duplex connectors. Single-mode fiber is ideal for longer-distance transmissions, typically supporting reaches of up to 10 kilometers with the 10GBase-LR standard, while maintaining high signal integrity.
Is this module compatible with my Cisco switch?
This module is MSA compliant and validated for compatibility with a wide range of Cisco systems. The compatibility list includes Cisco Catalyst series switches (such as 2960, 3560, 3750, 4500, 6500), Cisco ISR routers (1900, 2900, 3900 series), and Cisco Nexus 7000 series switches. Always consult your specific device's compatibility matrix for final verification before deployment.
What does 'hot-pluggable' mean for this transceiver?
Hot-pluggable means you can install or remove the SFP+ module from a compatible switch or router port without needing to power down the host device. This feature enables network administrators to perform upgrades, replacements, or reconfigurations during normal operation, minimizing network downtime and simplifying maintenance workflows.
What is the difference between 10GBase-LR and other 10GbE standards?
10GBase-LR is a standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber optic cable, typically supporting distances up to 10 kilometers. It differs from standards like 10GBase-SR, which is for multimode fiber over shorter distances, and 10GBase-T, which is for copper twisted-pair cabling. The 'LR' designation indicates its optimization for Long Reach over single-mode fiber.
Does this SFP+ module support Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM)?
product details for the N286-10GLR-SLC module do not list DOM or Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support. This module is focused on core transceiver functionality for the 10GBase-LR standard. For advanced monitoring features like real-time temperature, voltage, or optical power readings, you would need to select a module explicitly specified with DOM/DDM capabilities.
What warranty comes with this optical module?
Tripp Lite by Eaton provides a 3-year limited warranty for the N286-10GLR-SLC SFP+ module. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, offering assurance of product reliability and manufacturer support for an extended period following your purchase.
