SFP+ transceiver Lenovo FRU46C3449 10Gbps

Lenovo FRU46C3449 is an SFP+ transceiver module designed to deliver 10Gbps data transfer rates for high-speed network links. The module fits standard SFP+ ports on compatible switches, routers and servers and supports either fiber or direct-attach connectivity depending on the specific variant. It is intended for use in data center uplinks, server interconnects and storage area networks where consistent low-latency performance and hot-plug capability are required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact, low-power solution for 10Gbps links with straightforward hot-swap installation into SFP+ cages. Its design ensures stable electrical and optical interfaces with standard-compliant equipment, helping to maintain predictable throughput and latency. The module’s small form factor enables flexible port density and easier cabling management in rack environments.

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor compatible with 10Gbps ports
• Data rate: 10 Gigabits per second
• Connectivity: fiber or direct-attach option dependent on module variant
• Hot-pluggable design for live insertion and removal
• Low power consumption suitable for high-density deployments
• Typical operating environment: data center and enterprise network equipment

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or server until it seats securely; no additional tools are required. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cable or direct-attach copper cable to the module’s connector. Configure the network interface on the host device as needed to enable the 10Gbps link and verify link status through the device management interface. For removal, power down or disable the port per your operational policy, then press the release latch and withdraw the module carefully.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the specific host hardware and supported cable type before installation. Use quality-rated fiber or direct-attach cables of the correct length and specification to maintain signal integrity. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and avoid exposing optical ports to dust or direct light when the module is disconnected.
