Brocade-compatible SFP+ transceiver

The STARTECH XBR-000182-ST is a Brocade XBR-000182 compatible SFP+ transceiver built for 10 Gbps connectivity over single-mode fibre. It targets network engineers who need a drop-in module for Brocade switches and routers. The 1310 nm wavelength supports 10GBase-LR links up to 10 km using standard LC duplex connectors.

Replacing legacy 1 GbE or short-reach optics

This module replaces older 1 GbE transceivers or 10GBase-SR optics when the link distance exceeds multimode limits. The upgrade is worth it when campus or metro segments require 10 km reach without intermediate patch panels. It also fits existing SFP+ cages, avoiding a full switch refresh.

Steady 10 Gbps throughput over distance

Under continuous load the transceiver maintains line-rate 10 Gbps across the full 10 km single-mode path. The 1310 nm laser and LC interface keep signal integrity stable without the power spikes seen in shorter-reach modules. Thermal output stays low in the compact 0.54" x 0.55" x 2.30" form factor.

Questions about this item

Will this module fit a standard SFP+ cage on a Brocade switch?

The transceiver uses the industry-standard SFP+ form factor measuring .54" x .55" x 2.30", so it fits any compliant SFP+ port on Brocade equipment.

What is the correct way to insert the LC connectors without damaging the ferrules?

Align the keyed LC duplex connector with the port, push straight in until the latch clicks, and never force it at an angle or the ceramic ferrules can crack.

How often should the LC connector end-faces be cleaned to maintain the 10 km link?

Inspect and clean both connector end-faces with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol before every installation and whenever signal loss is detected.
