10GBASE-ZR SFP+ transceiver for 80 km links

This StarTech SFP10GBZRST module delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet over single-mode fibre using a 1550 nm wavelength. It complies with IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ZR and MSA standards for broad switch compatibility. The LC duplex connector supports distances up to 80 km. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 70 degrees Celsius.

Replaces shorter-reach 10G optics when distance

If your current 10GBASE-LR or ER transceivers cannot span the required link length, this ZR-rated unit closes the gap to 80 km. The upgrade is justified when campus or metro fibres run longer than 40 km and 10 Gbps bandwidth remains the design target. Power draw stays below 1.6 W, easing thermal budgets in dense chassis.

Verify switch port accepts 10GBASE-ZR

Confirm the host equipment lists 10GBASE-ZR support in its qualified-module matrix before ordering. Ensure your fibre plant is single-mode with LC duplex terminations and that the link loss budget accommodates the 80 km specification. Storage temperature tolerance spans -40 to 85 degrees Celsius for spares held in unconditioned spaces.

Questions about this item

What type of fiber connector does the SFP10GBZRST use for its single-mode link?

The module has one LC duplex female port for single-mode fiber.

How is the transceiver installed in a switch or router?

Insert the hot-swappable SFP+ module into an SFP+ slot until it clicks; the common mistake is not pushing it in far enough to latch.

What operating temperature range should be maintained for reliable long-term use?

Keep the ambient temperature between 0 °C and 70 °C (32 °F to 158 °F) during operation.
