10GBase-SR SFP+ Transceiver, DDM, 80/300m DEM-431XT-DD
Product Overview
The D-Link DEM-431XT-DD (Model: DEM-431XT-DD) is an enterprise-class 10GBASE-SR Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) optical transceiver module engineered for high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet server connections, core switch backbones, and data center interconnects. Operating over multi-mode optical fiber cabling at an 850 nm wavelength, it delivers full-duplex 10 Gbps data transmission speeds reaching up to 300 meters on OM3/OM4 laser-optimized fiber (and up to 80 meters on legacy OM1 fiber).
Equipped with Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM / DOM), the D-Link DEM-431XT-DD allows network administrators to monitor real-time operational parameters such as optical output power, input power, temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage directly from switch management interfaces. Built with a durable metal enclosure that minimizes Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), it features a standard duplex LC connector, hot-pluggable architecture, and full IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR compliance for seamless integration with D-Link managed switches (including DGS-1250, DGS-1510, and DXS-1210 series).
