Deployment / Use Cases
The N286-10G-SR-S is ideal for extending 10GbE connections within data centers, campus networks, and enterprise backbones where multimode fiber infrastructure is already deployed. Its 300-meter reach supports typical intra-building and intra-campus link distances.
Common applications include connecting top-of-rack switches to aggregation layers, linking servers to storage arrays, and providing high-speed uplinks between network distribution closets. The module is also suitable for upgrading existing 1GbE fiber links to 10GbE without replacing cabling, leveraging installed OM3/OM4 multimode fiber plants.
Data Center Server Connectivity
Deploy in server-to-switch links within racks or across adjacent racks, providing low-latency 10GbE throughput for virtualized hosts, database servers, and high-performance computing nodes.
Network Aggregation Links
Use for uplinking access switches to core switches in enterprise networks, increasing backbone capacity and reducing congestion in growing network environments.
Physical Profile
The module's compact SFP+ form factor fits standard SFP+ slots in switches, routers, and network interface cards. Its dimensions of 0.55" x 2.30" x 0.49" (13.97 mm x 58.42 mm x 12.45 mm) and light 1.02 oz (29.03 g) weight ensure minimal space and weight impact in densely populated networking equipment.
