Brocade 10G-XFP-SR Compatible 10G XFP Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing 10G-XFP-SR, this HT-manufactured XFP module delivers 10G transmission at 850nm. Its rated reach is 300m over OM3 MMF, with LC duplex as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support field technicians install, maintain and identify the exact compatible module, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

Field Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the connector and patch lead before installation, then support the fiber without pulling on the module housing. Release the latch properly during maintenance and keep dust protection on unused interfaces. If a module is removed for later use, retain its part-number label and record its original port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 10Gbps, wavelength 850nm, rated reach 300m 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 10G 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 300m 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 -3.5~5.3dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-13dBm. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. 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
Each 10G-XFP-SR compatible module is inspected, powered up and functionally checked before protective packing. Dust caps and individual trays shield the interface during transport. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing
Factory verification starts with the expected 10G-XFP-SR identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Brocade transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies 10G-XFP-SR, not an original Brocade-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use LC duplex with MMF. The specified maximum reach is 300m over OM3 MMF, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Ordering Information
Use 10G-XFP-SR as the compatibility cross-reference and XFP-10GSR-85 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.
