The SFP-10GE transceiver family are small form factor pluggable modules for bi-directional serial optical data communications such as 10GBASE Ethernet. The modules are compliant to the SFP+ MSA and are hot pluggable. Digital diagnostic functions are available via an I2C serial bus specified in the SFP MSA SFF-8472. The modules meet the requirements of the IEEE 802.3 10GBASE Ethernet standards and are suitable for interconnections in 10G Ethernet environments.

The transceivers can also be used for a wide range of other protocols with bitrates between 600 Mbps and 11.1 Gbps.
