TP-Link TL-SM5110-SR 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Transceiver Module
Overview
The TL-SM5110-SR is a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver designed for high-speed, short-to-medium-range fiber deployments in enterprise networking infrastructure. Operating at 850nm wavelength over multi-mode fiber, this module delivers full-duplex 10G Ethernet connectivity and integrates into any compatible managed network switch with SFP+ slots. Use this transceiver when your core or edge network requires 10G uplink capacity without the cost and complexity of longer-wavelength single-mode modules.
Compatibility & Specifications
The TL-SM5110-SR (often searched as TL SM5110 SR) operates over 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm multi-mode fiber cable with a maximum reach of 300 meters using OM3 fiber, or 33 meters with OM1/OM2 fiber. Full-duplex operation ensures simultaneous transmit and receive across the fiber link. Confirm your switch platform has available SFP+ ports before ordering—this module fits only SFP+ (10G) form-factor slots, not legacy SFP (1G) ports. Verify fiber type and run distance against your physical plant before deployment.
Installation Notes
Mount the transceiver directly into an unoccupied SFP+ port on your switch. Ensure fiber connections are clean and terminated to standard SC or LC connectors—contaminated faceplates are the leading cause of 10G module failure. Use appropriate fiber jumper cables rated for 10G multi-mode service. No external power or configuration is required; the module auto-negotiates upon insertion. Allow 30 seconds for link establishment after insertion.
