10GbE SM Fibre Kit 1550nm ER

Key Features

10GBASE-ER SFP+ transceiver (1550 nm)
Singlemode fiber support (SMF, ITU-T G.652/G.655 dependent)
Extended reach for long-haul links (typical tens of kilometres, link-budget dependent)
Duplex SC connector compatibility (SC-SC adapter included)
Plug-and-play SFP+ form factor for standard 10G ports
Includes high-quality duplex singlemode patch cords (length as specified)
Low insertion loss and stable optical performance
Ideal for commissioning, BER checks, loss measurement and continuity tests
Requires two kits for full bidirectional verification

The 10GbE SM Fibre Kit 1550nm ER is a precision singlemode optical solution engineered for long-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Each kit includes a 1550nm 10GBASE-ER SFP+ transceiver, high-quality singlemode fiber patch cords and an SC-SC adapter so installers and testers can quickly terminate, connect and validate long-haul optical links. Designed for data center interconnects, metro rings and carrier backbones, the kit provides a plug-and-play SFP+ module that fits standard 10G ports for seamless integration with switches, test instruments and media converters.

For full bidirectional verification you’ll need two kits (one at each end). The 1550nm ER class transceiver offers enhanced optical budget and extended reach—typically supporting tens of kilometres on standard SMF depending on fiber type and link budget—while robust patch cords and adapters minimise insertion loss. The kit is ideal for commissioning, troubleshooting and short-to-long distance deployments where reliable end-to-end optical performance is required, and it pairs well with test instruments that measure loss, continuity and BER.
