Key Benefits of LINK-PP LS-SM3110-10C / DELL 330-2404 Compatible Transceiver

• Seamless DELL Hardware Interoperability: Pre-loaded with DELL-compatible EEPROM coding, bypassing vendor warning prompts in DELL OS, FTOS, and DNOS operating systems for true plug-and-play deployment.
• High-Performance 1310nm DFB Optics for 10km Reach: Utilizes a precision 1310nm DFB laser and PIN receiver engine engineered to overcome fiber attenuation and chromatic dispersion over 10 km G.652 single-mode fiber backbones.
• Real-Time Diagnostic Telemetry via SFF-8472 DDM/DOM: Integrates an internal MCU control unit providing real-time telemetry tracking of TX power, RX power, bias current, temperature, and VCC voltage directly via switch CLI or SNMP management tools.
• Multi-Protocol Versatility (10GBASE-LR, OTN, CPRI/eCPRI): Supports data rates up to 10.7 Gbps, catering to 10GbE enterprise backbones, OTU2 optical transport networks, and 5G CPRI/eCPRI wireless front-haul optical links.
• Hot-Pluggable SFP+ MSA Compliant Form Factor: Easily inserted or removed from active SFP+ switch ports without interrupting host equipment power or adjacent network traffic.
• Significant Capex Cost Savings over DELL OEM: Delivers identical optical performance, link reach, and mechanical reliability as DELL 330-2404 at a fraction of the OEM cost.

10GBASE-LR Optical Link Budget & 1310nm DFB Architecture

The LINK-PP LS-SM3110-10C is built on an advanced 10GBASE-LR electro-optic engine adhering to SFF-8431 electrical and SFF-8432 mechanical specifications. Designed for 10.3125 Gbps to 10.7 Gbps serial optical communications, it maintains clean optical eye diagrams and high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR).

1310nm DFB Transmitter & PIN Receiver Engine

The transmitter incorporates an uncooled 1310nm Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser diode operating with an average TX power between -6.5 dBm and -0.5 dBm. On the receiver side, a high-sensitivity PIN photodiode combined with a Trans-Impedance Preamplifier (TIA) provides a receiver sensitivity of less than -14.4 dBm and an overload threshold of -1.0 dBm. This establishes a robust 7.9 dB optical link budget, ensuring reliable transmission across 10 km SMF spans with margin for patch panel connectors and fiber splices.

SFF-8472 Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) Diagnostics

Utilizing an I2C 2-wire serial interface mapped to memory address A2h per SFF-8472, the module provides real-time DDM telemetry. Network administrators can query exact transceiver operating parameters—including optical input/output power in dBm or mW—allowing proactive network maintenance and link fault isolation before packet dropouts occur.

DELL Switch Interoperability & EEPROM Coding

A primary barrier when deploying third-party optics is vendor switch compatibility. LINK-PP eliminates this challenge by programming each LS-SM3110-10C module with DELL-specific EEPROM memory maps.

Plug-and-Play Compliance in DELL Operating Systems

Each transceiver is flashed with accurate DELL vendor data, part numbers, and serial numbers. Upon insertion into DELL PowerConnect, N-Series (N2000, N3000, N4000), S-Series, or PowerEdge server HBAs, the host operating system recognizes the module instantly as an OEM 330-2404 optics module without requiring manual CLI overrides or throwing unsupported transceiver syslog warnings.

Target Applications: Enterprise Core, Data Center Interconnects, and 5G

Combining 10.7Gbps speed, 1310nm SMF optics, SFF-8472 DDM diagnostics, and DELL compatibility, the LINK-PP LS-SM3110-10C supports critical optical infrastructure:

• Enterprise Core & Aggregation Switch Uplinks: Ideal for 10GbE campus backbone connections, inter-building single-mode fiber links, and core router uplinks up to 10 km.
• Data Center Interconnects (DCI) & Storage Area Networks: Deployed in high-density data center racks for inter-rack and spine-leaf switch interconnectivity over SMF.
• 5G Wireless CPRI / eCPRI Front-Haul Networks: Suitable for wireless baseband unit (BBU) to remote radio head (RRH) optical front-haul links requiring low latency and high bandwidth.

How to Select and Verify LS-SM3110-10C vs. DELL 330-2404

Network architects and optics procurement managers evaluating the LINK-PP LS-SM3110-10C as a secondary-source alternative for DELL 330-2404 should verify the following core parameters:

• Fiber Cable Type Matching (SMF G.652 vs MMF): Confirm that your installed optical cabling plant uses 9/125µm Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) with Duplex LC/UPC connectors, as 10GBASE-LR is incompatible with multi-mode fiber (MMF).
• Optical Distance & Power Budget Calculation: Ensure your link distance is within 10 km and total link attenuation (including connectors and splices) does not exceed the 7.9 dB optical power budget.
• DDM Telemetry & DELL CLI Verification: Verify transceiver status via DELL OS CLI commands such as `show interfaces transceiver` and `show interfaces transceiver detail` to inspect live optical power levels.
• Operating Temperature Match: Ensure that the 0 to 70°C commercial temperature rating aligns with your climate-controlled data center or telecom equipment room spec.
