FS 10GBASE-LR SFP+ Transceiver

FS 10GBASE-LR SFP+ – Long-Range 10G Optical Connectivity Over Single-Mode Fiber

Introduction to FS 10GBASE-LR

The FS 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver is a high-performance optical module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet long-range transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF). With a transmission distance of up to 10 kilometers, it’s ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and telecom environments that require high-speed, stable connections over extended distances.

This FS 10GBASE-LR transceiver uses a standard LC duplex connector, operates at 1310nm, and fully complies with the IEEE 802.3ae and SFP+ MSA standards. Built for reliability, it ensures exceptional signal quality and low latency, even in high-traffic environments.

 Key Features :

• Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-LR)

• Transmission range: up to 10km over single-mode fiber

• Operating wavelength: 1310nm (DFB laser)

• LC duplex interface, SFP+ form factor

• Hot-swappable for easy installation

• Compliant with IEEE 802.3ae, SFF-8431, SFF-8472

• Low power consumption

• Fully compatible with FS switches and most OEM devices

The FS 10GBASE-LR is perfect for upgrading to 10G in wide-area networks, large campus environments, and inter-building links.

Compatibility and Interoperability

Designed with flexibility in mind, the FS 10GBASE-LR integrates seamlessly into multi-vendor environments. It’s fully compatible with:

• FS network switches and routers

• Cisco, Juniper, HPE, Dell, MikroTik, and more

• Optical patch panels using LC connectors

• Any SFP+ ports that follow MSA standards

This ensures a hassle-free deployment in both legacy and modern systems.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

Thanks to its hot-pluggable design, the FS 10GBASE-LR allows for tool-free installation and replacement, making it perfect for dynamic and scalable networks. The module supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), which gives administrators real-time access to:

• Transceiver temperature

• Optical input/output power

• Supply voltage

• Laser bias current

These diagnostics simplify network monitoring and help prevent potential failures.

Reliable Long-Distance Performance

This transceiver provides consistent, low-latency performance over long distances. Whether used for campus backbones, data center interconnects, or metro network extensions, this module ensures signal integrity across the entire link.

Its laser technology minimizes attenuation and dispersion, making it ideal for environments where uptime and accuracy are critical.

Energy Efficiency and Thermal Stability

Built with efficient components, it consumes minimal power while maintaining optimal thermal performance. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for harsh or uncontrolled environments, including outdoor enclosures or server rooms with limited airflow.

 Ideal Use Cases

The FS 10GBASE-LR is an excellent choice for:

• Enterprise WAN links

• Inter-building fiber connections

• Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs)

• Long-distance backbone infrastructure

• Disaster recovery and backup networks

By reducing latency and maximizing uptime, this module supports demanding workloads like VoIP, virtualization, video conferencing, and cloud computing.

SR vs. LR – Choosing the Right Transceiver for Your Network

When deciding between short-range (SR) and long-range (LR) transceivers, it’s crucial to consider your network’s layout and growth plans. While 10GBASE-SR modules are ideal for connections within the same rack or data hall (up to 400 meters), the FS 10GBASE-LR shines in scenarios that require linking buildings, data centers, or distant network nodes over single-mode fiber.

By investing in the FS 10GBASE-LR, organizations gain flexibility and future-proofing, ensuring that longer paths don’t require complex media converters or additional switches.

Why Choose FS 10GBASE-LR?

Here’s why the FS 10GBASE-LR stands out:

• Extended 10km transmission with clear, reliable signal

• Easy to deploy in multi-vendor setups

• Energy-efficient, thermally stable design

• Backed by FS’s global support and reputation

• Fully tested for compatibility and signal integrity

Whether you’re building a new infrastructure or upgrading your 1G links to 10G, this transceiver is a smart, future-ready choice.

 Final Thoughts

The FS 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver delivers long-range 10G performance with the efficiency, flexibility, and reliability that modern enterprises demand. Optimized for SMF networks, it ensures seamless connectivity across buildings, campuses, and cities—while keeping deployment simple and affordable.
