Specifications

Rack Integration and Service Access

Plan the fiber route before removing connector protection. The patch lead should follow its manager without pulling on the transceiver, while leaving space to release the latch and service adjacent ports. Protect the end face until final connection and avoid tight bends immediately behind warm exhaust air. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 10Gbps, wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 220m over OM3 MMF.

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The LC duplex interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The XFP interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a XFP housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

For this multimode module, confirm fiber grade, modal bandwidth and total loss before commissioning. The 220m over OM3 MMF figure applies only under suitable cabling conditions. Inspect every LC duplex mating point and match the remote optical standard.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -6.5~0.5dBm; receiver sensitivity is <0.5dBm. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Extreme Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing

The module is checked for host recognition as 10GBASE-LRM-XFP, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering Information

Use 10GBASE-LRM-XFP as the compatibility cross-reference and XFP-10GLRM-31-MMF as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
