Coherent (Finisar) Compatible 10G SFP+ Optical Transceivers
Product Overview
This page covers the Apex 10G SFP+ range supplied for platforms coded for Finisar and Coherent optics. The modules are third party products built to the SFP+ MSA; they are not manufactured by, and are not affiliated with, Finisar or Coherent.
10G is the layer where compatible optics pay back fastest. A large network runs thousands of 10G ports, the ports stay in service for a decade, and the same failure pattern repeats: a module fails, the original part is expensive or long lead, and a spare has to be found quickly. A coded compatible module keeps the port in service on the same fiber and the same patch cords.
The range covers the whole distance spread, from 300m multimode SR through LR, ER and ZR single mode grades to CWDM and DWDM channels, plus BiDi single fiber parts. Every module carries an EEPROM image written for the host platform, supports DDM and is supplied with a test report.

Applications
Access and Enterprise Ports
Keeps high volume 10G switch, router and firewall ports in service with a coded module on the existing fiber and patch cords.
Metro and Carrier Links
Covers 10G spans from 10km to 80km with LR, ER and ZR grades on platforms coded for Finisar or Coherent optics.
WDM Capacity Upgrades
Adds 10G services on CWDM and DWDM channels where the plan and mux hardware are already in place.
Compatibility
We ask for the host platform and the part number being replaced, then write the module EEPROM to match so the port comes up as expected. Multi rate platforms are common at 10G, so tell us if a port also runs 8G or 16G Fibre Channel and we confirm the rate table. APEX supplies these modules as a third party source: the products are not manufactured by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Finisar or Coherent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these modules made by Finisar or Coherent?
No. They are third party APEX modules built to the SFP+ MSA and coded for platforms that accept Finisar or Coherent optics. They are not manufactured by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Finisar or Coherent.
Can one module cover 10G Ethernet and 16G Fibre Channel?
Many 10G SFP+ ports are multi rate. Tell us the line rates the port must run and we confirm the rate table and the coding for that platform.
What if my platform checks the vendor beyond the EEPROM?
Some platforms enforce vendor locking. Send the platform and the firmware version and we will say up front whether a compatible module will link, rather than shipping one that gets blocked.
Are 10G compatible modules in stock?
Yes. SR, LR, ER and BiDi grades are held in stock and quoted the same day, with CWDM, DWDM and ZR grades built to order.
