IBM 45W2410 Compatible 10G SFP+ T Transceiver Module

Built for hosts recognizing 45W2410, this HT-manufactured SFP+ module delivers 10G transmission at the listed wavelength plan. Its rated reach is 30m on Cat6a / Cat7 or Better, with RJ-45 as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support high-density deployments balance optical performance, port access and thermal planning, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

Applications and Optical Link Design
This copper transceiver is intended for short equipment links over the twisted-pair cabling category stated in the specifications. Typical uses include switch-to-server, switch-to-switch and rack-level connections where an RJ-45 interface is preferred over fiber. Use the required cable category, observe the rated distance and confirm that the host supports the module’s speed, power consumption and electrical operating modes.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 10G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP+ housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
The rated 30m on Cat6a / Cat7 or Better copper channel should be assessed as a complete cabling link. Confirm cable category, shielding practice and supported host mode before installation. A link indicator alone does not prove that the expected electrical rate has been established.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each 45W2410 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.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
Use the electrical and optical limits in the specification table as the acceptance reference for this model. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Not Implemented. 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.
High-Density Port and Thermal Planning
In a densely populated chassis, connector access and airflow form part of the optical-link design. Confirm that neighboring modules and patch leads leave room for latch operation, and include listed power consumption in the host thermal budget. Assess port density together with fiber management. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 10Gbps, rated reach 30m on Cat6a / Cat7 or Better.
Ordering Information
When ordering, specify 45W2410, SFP-10G-T-30, 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.
IBM Compatibility and Factory Testing
The module is checked for host recognition as 45W2410, 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original IBM transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies 45W2410, not an original IBM-branded module.
Which copper cable and connector are required?
Use RJ-45 with the specified category of Copper. The rated reach is 30m on Cat6a / Cat7 or Better, subject to cable category, installation quality and host support.
Can it be used at a different speed or over another cable category?
Only within the multi-rate and cabling capabilities stated in the specifications and supported by the host. Confirm the required cable category, distance and auto-negotiation behavior before installation.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
