Black Box SFP+ Module - For Data Networking, Optical Network 1 LC Duplex 10GBase-LX Network - Optical Fiber Multi-mode - 10 Gigabit Ethernet - 10GBase-X

The Black Box SFP+ Module is a 10GbE optical transceiver with one LC duplex connection, designed for network teams adding a multimode-fiber link to compatible networking equipment.

Recommended For

• Network administrators adding a 10Gbps fiber uplink between switches, routers, or other SFP+-equipped devices on a multimode fiber run.
• IT teams connecting nearby equipment over existing multimode fiber who want an LC-duplex optical link rather than a copper Ethernet connection.
• Data-center or server-room technicians replacing or adding a hot-swappable SFP+ optic in a supported network device, with diagnostics available when the host platform supports them.
• Installers whose multimode fiber link is within the listed 300-meter reach and who have confirmed that the network device accepts this SFP+ module.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• Link two compatible switches across an existing multimode-fiber run, such as between network closets; the module can provide a 10Gbps connection over supported fiber distances, up to 300m with the specified fiber.
• Connect a server or storage system with an SFP+ port to a compatible switch over duplex multimode fiber; this creates a 10Gbps network link for local data transfers, subject to the capabilities of the connected equipment.
• Add a 10Gbps fiber uplink between compatible network switches when connecting a nearby building or equipment area; using existing multimode cabling can avoid installing a new fiber run if the cable type and link distance are supported.
• Replace a failed optical module in a supported SFP+ switch port; after confirming the port accepts the module and the fiber and far-end optics match, the link can be restored without replacing the switch or its fiber cabling.
