StarTech.com Extreme Networks 10301 10Gbps 850nm 300m Transceiver

Network upgrades often stall because legacy links can’t keep up with modern data demands. The StarTech.com Extreme Networks 10301 10Gbps 850nm 300m Transceiver is a hot-swappable SFP+ module that gives you reliable 10 Gbps fibre connectivity over up to 300 m of multimode cable, letting you extend bandwidth without costly rewiring. It’s the practical solution for anyone needing fast, stable links in a mixed-vendor environment.

Key Features of a 10 Gbps transceiver

• Wavelength: 850 nm. Uses the common 850 nm laser for multimode fibre, ensuring compatibility with existing cabling.
• Data Rate: 10 Gbps. Delivers full-speed ten-gigabit Ethernet for high-throughput applications.
• Fibre Type: Multi-Mode Fiber. Works with standard MMF, simplifying installation in most data centres.
• Connector: LC. Small form-factor LC connector fits tightly and is easy to manage.
• Max Distance: 300 m (984 ft). Provides ample reach for floor-to-floor or rack-to-rack connections.
• MTBF: 498,745,585 hours. Extremely long mean time between failures reduces maintenance worries.
• Power Consumption: 1.3 W. Low power draw helps keep overall rack power budgets in check.
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM): Yes. Real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage and optical performance lets you spot issues early.
• Hot-Swappable: Yes. Replace or upgrade without shutting down the network, minimising downtime.
• Lifetime Warranty: Limited lifetime. Backed by StarTech.com’s free multilingual technical support for peace of mind.
