Fibre Optic Transceiver Module Trendnet TEG-10GBSR

Trendnet TEG-10GBSR is a hot-pluggable 10GBASE-SR SFP+ multimode fiber transceiver designed for MSA-compliant SFP+ slots. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, the module supports up to 10.5 Gbps throughput and fiber links up to 550 meters using an LC duplex connector. It provides Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) to report key parameters such as transmit/receive power, temperature and supply voltage. The transceiver uses a single 3.3 V power supply and is rated for operation between 0 and 70 °C.

Advantages

The TEG-10GBSR offers hot-pluggable convenience for easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment. Its multimode 850 nm design supports short-reach 10 Gbps connections up to 550 m while maintaining low power consumption and compact dimensions. Integrated DDM enables remote monitoring of optical and electrical parameters for reliable network management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps uplinks and server connections in data centers
• Short-reach multimode fiber links within campus and building backbones
• MSA-compliant SFP+ ports on switches, routers and NICs

How to use

Ensure the host device has an MSA-compliant SFP+ slot and supports 10GBASE-SR transceivers. With the device powered on or off (hot-pluggable), align the LC connector and insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Connect multimode fiber using LC duplex patch cables to the transceiver ports. Verify link status on the host and use the DDM reporting via the host management interface to check transmit/receive power, temperature and voltage.

Recommendations

Use multimode OM3/OM4 fiber for reliable 10 Gbps links up to the specified 550 m distance; avoid bending the fiber beyond manufacturer bend-radius limits and protect connectors from dust. Confirm compatibility with your switch or NIC vendor if the host enforces vendor-specific transceiver checks.
