FAQ
What is the difference between LR and SR transceivers?
LR (long-range) operates at 1310 nm for distances up to 10 km on single-mode fibre, while SR (short-range) operates at 850 nm for up to 300 m on multi-mode fibre.
Can I mix LR and SR transceivers on the same switch?
Yes, each SFP+ port can support different transceiver types, allowing heterogeneous fibre architectures within the same infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 10GBase-LR mean, and when should I use it?
10GBase-LR is a 10 Gigabit standard optimised for long-distance single-mode fibre links up to 10 kilometres, ideal for inter-campus and metro-area network extensions.
How far can I extend a network link with this transceiver?
The TXM431-LR supports 10 Gbps Ethernet links up to 10 kilometres over single-mode fibre, enabling reliable inter-campus and metropolitan connections.
Which wavelength does this transceiver operate at?
This transceiver operates at 1310 nm (infrared), a standard wavelength for long-distance single-mode fibre.
Can I mix TXM431-LR transceivers on both ends of the link?
Yes, both ends typically use identical or compatible transceivers; confirm your equipment supports full-duplex 1310 nm operation.
Is this transceiver suitable for connecting remote offices across our city?
Yes, the 10-kilometre range makes this ideal for city-wide or district-level network extensions without intermediate amplification.
What maintenance should I perform on this transceiver?
Keep the LC connectors capped and dust-free, protect the transceiver from temperature extremes, and ensure proper ventilation if installed in an enclosed cabinet.
What lead time should I expect for this long-distance transceiver?
Lead times vary based on availability; contact Procure.ae to confirm stock and delivery timeline for your location.
Can Procure.ae advise on the fibre type required for this transceiver?
Yes, Procure.ae can confirm fibre specifications and provide guidance on deployment; reach out to discuss your long-distance link requirements.
What is the TXM431-LR transceiver?
The TXM431-LR is a 10GBase-LR SFP+ transceiver delivering 10 Gigabit full-duplex performance over single-mode fibre at 1310 nm wavelength.
What fibre type does this transceiver require?
This transceiver is designed for 9/125 µm single-mode fibre.
Is this transceiver hot-swappable?
As an SFP+ module, yes—it can be inserted or removed from compatible SFP+ ports without powering down the switch (though the link will drop during the swap).
