10 Gbps SFP+ module for short-reach fibre

The Axiom 49Y4216-AX is a 10 Gbps SFP+ transceiver built for multimode fibre links. It targets network engineers who need a drop-in replacement for IBM-coded optics in switches and routers. The unit ships new and carries a lifetime warranty from the brand.

300 metre reach on 850 nm multimode fibre

The module follows the IEEE 802.3z standard and operates at an 850 nm wavelength over LC duplex connectors. Its practical limit is a 300 metre span on OM3 or OM4 multimode cable, making it suited for intra-rack and row-to-row connections rather than campus or metro distances.

IBM-coded EEPROM for OEM compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the pre-programmed IBM application code in the transceiver EEPROM. Without that code the switch port will reject the module, so the part is only correct for environments that require IBM-coded optics.

Questions about this item

Is this the only Axiom 10GBASE-SR SFP+ module or are there other reach options?

This module is the 49Y4216-AX variant rated for 300 m over multimode fibre at 850 nm. Axiom offers other SFP+ modules with different reach or wavelength specifications for other applications.

What does the 10 Gbps transfer rate mean when the module is installed in a switch?

The module delivers a 10 Gbps line rate that complies with IEEE 802.3z. Actual throughput depends on the switch port configuration, cable quality and network load.

Which LC connector and fibre standard does the SFP+ interface use, and what distance does it support?

It uses an LC duplex connector with multimode fibre at 850 nm and supports links up to 300 m.
