Brocade-compatible SFP+ module for 10 GbE networks

The XBR-000180-ST is a StarTech.com transceiver built to work with Brocade switches and routers. It delivers 10 Gbps connectivity over multi-mode fiber for 10GBase-SR networks. Network engineers and data-centre operators use it to link equipment across short distances.

Factory programming removes integration guesswork

Each module is designed, programmed and tested for Brocade hardware before it ships. That compatibility work means the transceiver initialises correctly in supported ports without manual configuration. Installers avoid the trial-and-error cycle common with generic alternatives.

Compact SFP+ form factor fits standard cages

The unit measures .50" x .55" x 2.30" and weighs .04 lb, matching the industry SFP+ footprint. Dual LC connectors accept standard multi-mode patch cords rated for 850 nm operation. Links remain stable up to 300 m or 984 ft, covering typical rack-to-rack and row-to-row runs.

Questions about this item

Will the LC connectors on the XBR-000180-ST need periodic cleaning or replacement?

The LC duplex connectors should be inspected and cleaned with a fibre-scope and lint-free wipes whenever links are re-seated; no scheduled replacement interval is defined for the transceiver itself.

At 10 Gbps over multi-mode fibre, what distance limit applies before errors appear?

The module is rated for 300 m (984 ft) on OM3/OM4 multi-mode fibre; beyond that distance the optical budget is exceeded and bit-error rates rise sharply.

How much heat does the XBR-000180-ST add to a switch chassis running continuously?

Typical SFP+ SR transceivers draw under 1 W, so the thermal contribution is minimal — well within the cooling capacity of standard Brocade switch slots.
