SFP-10GERLC-T-BCC | Moxa Compatible 10GB Single-Mode ER - 40km (10GBASE-ER)

Q: Will this work in place of the Moxa SFP-10GERLC-T?
A: Yes. This transceiver is built to the same IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ER specification, uses the same SFP+ form factor, operates at the same 1550nm wavelength, and supports the same 40km reach on single-mode fibre. It is plug-and-play compatible with Moxa platforms that accept the SFP-10GERLC-T.

Q: Which Moxa switches support this module?
A: This module is designed for Moxa switches with SFP+ ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Moxa publishes a compatibility matrix for the SFP-10G series. Ensure your switch platform has SFP+ slots rated for 10Gbps operation and check Moxa documentation for your specific model series.

Q: What fibre type and quality do I need to achieve 40km reach?
A: You need OS2 single-mode fibre (G.652 standard). Actual reach depends on link budget: the module provides approximately 15dB optical budget, which typically supports 40km if total link loss (fibre attenuation, splice loss, connector loss) remains under budget. Use clean, low-loss connectors and verify fibre attenuation is within spec.

Q: Can I monitor the optical power levels in real time?
A: Yes. This module includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DOM) that reports transmit power, receive power, supply voltage, temperature, and laser bias current via the I2C interface. Most managed switches expose these values through CLI or web interface, allowing you to track signal margins and detect degradation before link failure.

Q: Is this module suitable for outdoor cabinet installations in variable climates?
A: Yes. The -40 to 85°C operating range makes this module suitable for industrial cabinets, outdoor enclosures, and non-climate-controlled telecom shelters. Ensure your switch platform also supports the intended temperature range, as some Moxa models restrict operating temperature when certain transceivers are installed.
