Netgear ProSAFE 10 Gigabit Base-LR Lite SFP+ Single Mode Module

The NETGEAR ProSAFE 10GBase-LR Lite SFP+ module provides 10 Gigabit single-mode fiber connectivity through an LC duplex connector, making it suitable for network administrators equipping compatible M5300, M6100, M7100, or M7300 series managed switches.

Recommended For

• Network teams linking 10GbE SFP+ ports between buildings or wiring closets over existing single-mode duplex fiber, when the run is no longer than 2 km.
• Administrators using a compatible NETGEAR switch who need a 10GbE single-mode fiber link, including users of supported M5300, M6100, M7100, M7300, and select Smart or Plus switches.
• IT staff maintaining or replacing an AXM764 in a supported switch setup; NETGEAR describes the module as hot-swappable, so installation or removal does not require powering down the switch.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• Link two compatible switches in separate network closets over existing single-mode fiber; the module provides a 10GbE connection for runs up to 2 km, subject to the fiber path and equipment compatibility.
• Connect a building’s main switch to a remote distribution or access switch using a duplex single-mode fiber run; this can carry a 10GbE uplink without replacing suitable existing fiber, for distances up to 2 km.
• Give a server or storage system with a compatible 10GbE SFP+ fiber interface a link to a switch; the connection can use single-mode fiber where copper or a short direct-attach cable is not suitable.
• Add a 10GbE fiber connection to a supported NETGEAR switch with an available SFP+ port; the module is hot-swappable, so it can be installed or removed without powering down the switch.
• Upgrade a switch-to-switch link on an existing 9/125 µm single-mode fiber route; if the route is within the module’s 2 km reach and both endpoints support compatible optics, the existing fiber may be reused for a 10GbE link.
