Cradlepoint TAA-TCA3-0920-C7A-FN 10G Managed SFP Module

Overview

The Cradlepoint TAA-TCA3-0920-C7A-FN is a 10G managed SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for ISP backbone and enterprise switch deployments requiring TAA compliance. This module plugs into standard SFP slots on compatible switch hardware to deliver high-speed fiber uplinks and managed port control in federal and government procurement environments. It solves the dual requirement of needing both 10 Gigabit fiber connectivity and verifiable domestic compliance for regulated network infrastructure.

Compatibility

The TAA-TCA3-0920-C7A-FN integrates into Cradlepoint switch architectures and third-party network infrastructure supporting standard SFP slot form factors. Installation requires a host switch or router with available 10G SFP ports and managed network management capabilities. Verify port availability and speed rating (10G minimum) before purchase — this module is not backward-compatible with 1G-only SFP slots.

Installation Notes

Insert the module into an available 10G SFP slot with the connector aligned and apply gentle pressure until the clip locks. No additional power or cabling beyond the optical fiber connection is required. Confirm your fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode) matches the module specification before mating. Allow brief warm-up time after insertion before enabling the port in management software.
