Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.

The industrial temperature rating makes this version appropriate for controlled outdoor cabinets, transport nodes and other installations exposed to wider ambient temperature variation. Adequate airflow, protected cable routing and host-platform temperature limits still apply.

Wavelength-selective links require the exact channel plan at both ends. Confirm that filters pass 1550nm, then include their insertion loss in the 100km power budget. A nearby channel is not a substitute for the specified wavelength.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is 1~5dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-25dBm; the stated optical power budget is 26dB. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. 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.

Mixed-Vendor Network Operation

A mixed-vendor optical link should be documented at both ends, not treated as one generic connection. Confirm which OEM identity each host expects and whether both ends use the same wavelength plan and optical standard. Related links locate equivalent hardware, but brand-specific identification must still be selected independently. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 11.3Gbps, wavelength 1550nm, rated reach 100km.

NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatibility and Factory Testing

The module is checked for host recognition as SFP-10GZR100-55-I, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify SFP-10GZR100-55-I, SFP-10GZR100-55-I, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Each SFP-10GZR100-55-I 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.
