SonicWALL SFP+ Transceiver Module

The SonicWALL 01-SSC-9785 is a 10 Gbps SFP+ 10GBase-SR transceiver for network teams connecting compatible SFP+ equipment over multimode optical fiber, with an LC port and a maximum listed reach of 300 meters.

Recommended For

• Network administrators connecting supported SonicWall appliances to a 10GbE network over multimode fiber, for links up to 300 m.
• IT teams using existing multimode-fiber runs for 10GbE links between network closets, floors, or nearby buildings within the module’s supported reach.
• Server-room and data-center operators making short-reach 10GbE connections between racks or network equipment over multimode fiber with LC connectors.
• Teams replacing or standardizing on the SonicWall 01-SSC-9785 for appliances listed as compatible by SonicWall.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• Connecting a SonicWall firewall to a 10GbE core or aggregation switch over existing multimode fiber gives the network a high-speed uplink for traffic moving between the firewall and the rest of the LAN; the receiving device also needs a compatible 10GBASE-SR port or transceiver.
• Using the firewall’s 10GbE fiber port for a LAN or DMZ connection can consolidate several lower-speed connections onto one physical link, while VLANs keep the networks logically separated; users report this setup when connecting an NSA firewall to a LAN switch.
• Linking network equipment in nearby racks or wiring closets over installed multimode fiber provides a 10GbE connection without running copper between them, provided the fiber type, connectors, distance, and transceivers at both ends match.
• Replacing a failed or mismatched firewall optic with the listed SonicWall module can restore a 10GbE fiber link, as long as the firewall model supports the module and the far-end optic is compatible.
• Connecting a firewall to a faster internet gateway or ISP handoff can avoid a 1GbE port becoming the link bottleneck, but this module provides a 10GbE optical interface—not support for negotiating intermediate speeds such as 2.5GbE.
