Allied Telesis AT-SP10LRA/I – TAA 10G SFP+ Single-Mode 10km Industrial

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-SP10LRA/I is an Allied Telesis 10G SFP+ industrial temperature 10km single-mode transceiver built for deployments that demand both long-reach fiber connectivity and extended environmental tolerance. Rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, it supports outdoor plant fiber runs, industrial Ethernet backbones, and harsh-environment data center links where standard commercial-temperature transceivers would fail. Using the 10GBase-LR standard over OS1/OS2 single-mode fiber with an LC duplex connector, the module reaches up to 10 kilometers at 10 Gbps. As a TAA-compliant module, it is eligible for US federal government procurement programs, making it a fit for "Allied Telesis 10G SFP+ industrial temperature 10km TAA" and "10GBase-LR SFP+ -40 to 85C TAA compliant transceiver" search queries.

Product Description

The AT-SP10LRA/I is a member of the Allied Telesis SP10 Series of 10 Gigabit SFP+ transceiver modules, specifically engineered for demanding environments that exceed the operating range of standard commercial-grade optics. It delivers 10Gbps Ethernet over single-mode fiber at the 10GBase-LR standard, supporting distances up to 10 kilometers over OS1 or OS2 single-mode fiber with an LC duplex connector. The "/I" designation indicates an extended industrial temperature rating of -40°C to +85°C, which qualifies it for outdoor fiber runs, industrial control networks, transportation infrastructure, utility substations, and any application where the transceiver is exposed to extreme heat or cold. The module is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meeting US federal government procurement requirements applicable to GSA schedules and other federal acquisition programs. It complies with the SFF-8431 SFP+ Electrical MSA and the SFF-8472 MSA, ensuring interoperability with any MSA-compliant SFP+ host port. Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) provides real-time visibility into module health, reporting temperature, supply voltage, transmitted optical power, laser bias current, and received optical power. Power consumption is under 1 watt, and the maximum data rate is 10.3 Gbps, providing headroom above the standard 10GbE line rate. The module is hot-swappable and RoHS compliant. It is supported on all Allied Telesis devices with SFP+ ports, including the x530, x550, x930, and SBx908 GEN2 series, as well as any MSA-compliant third-party host equipment.

Key Features

• Industrial Temperature Range (-40°C to +85°C) — Qualified for outdoor, industrial, and harsh-environment deployments where commercial-grade optics cannot operate reliably.
• 10GBase-LR, 10km Reach — Extends 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber up to 10 kilometers, suitable for campus and wide-area fiber spans.
• TAA Compliant — Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, qualifying for US federal government GSA and DOD procurement programs.
• SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 MSA Compliance — Interoperable with MSA-compliant SFP+ host equipment across Allied Telesis and third-party platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the "/I" suffix mean on the AT-SP10LRA/I?

The "/I" designates the industrial temperature variant. Unlike the standard commercial-grade AT-SP10LRA which operates at 0°C to 70°C, the AT-SP10LRA/I is rated for -40°C to +85°C, qualifying it for outdoor and industrial network deployments.

Q: Which Allied Telesis switches support the AT-SP10LRA/I?

The AT-SP10LRA/I is supported on all Allied Telesis devices with SFP+ ports, including the x530, x550, x930, and SBx908 GEN2 series. It is also interoperable with third-party equipment that accepts MSA-compliant SFP+ modules.

Q: What fiber type does the AT-SP10LRA/I require?

The AT-SP10LRA/I requires single-mode fiber with an LC duplex connector. OS1 or OS2 single-mode fiber is appropriate for links up to 10 kilometers.

Q: Is the AT-SP10LRA/I TAA compliant?

Yes. The AT-SP10LRA/I is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for US federal government procurement through GSA schedules and other federal acquisition vehicles that require TAA-compliant products.

Q: Can the AT-SP10LRA/I be used in outdoor fiber runs?

Yes. The -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range qualifies this module for outdoor fiber plant installations in most climates, provided the host switch or media converter is also rated for the deployment environment.

Q: What is the maximum distance for the AT-SP10LRA/I?

The AT-SP10LRA/I supports link distances up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber at 10 Gbps (10GBase-LR standard).

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-SP10LRA/I?

The AT-SP10LRA/I is available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net, an authorized Allied Telesis reseller with expertise in Allied Telesis transceivers, switches, and network infrastructure.
