Product Overview
The Ruijie XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 is a 10GBASE-LR SFP+ optical transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit fibre uplinks over single-mode fibre. It operates at a 1310nm wavelength and supports link distances of up to 10km using SMF with a duplex LC connector, making it suitable for switch-to-switch, switch-to-router, aggregation and long-distance building interconnects where copper cabling is not practical. This Ruijie XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 10G SFP+ module is a practical choice for business, campus, warehouse, CCTV, fibre backbone and enterprise network installations using compatible Ruijie switches or routers. It is best selected when the network needs a reliable 10G optical link with standard 10GBASE-LR behaviour, rather than short-range multimode fibre or longer-range ER/ZR optics.
Key Capabilities
10G Fibre Uplink Performance
The XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 supports 10.3125Gbps data transmission, making it suitable for high-speed uplinks between switches, routers and aggregation equipment in networks where Gigabit fibre is no longer enough.
10km Single-Mode Reach
With support for up to 10km over single-mode fibre, this module is useful for building-to-building links, campus backbones and network extensions where short-range multimode optics are not suitable.
1310nm 10GBASE-LR Optics
The 1310nm wavelength and 10GBASE-LR optical specification make this transceiver a standard choice for single-mode 10G links, helping installers match optics correctly across supported fibre infrastructure.
Duplex LC Connection
The duplex LC interface supports separate transmit and receive fibre strands, making it suitable for standard structured fibre cabling where LC patch leads and single-mode fibre are already in use.
SFP+ Form Factor
The SFP+ form factor fits compatible 10G SFP+ ports on supported Ruijie switches and network equipment, giving installers a compact and hot-pluggable optical uplink option.
Best For
- Switch Uplinks: Suitable for connecting compatible Ruijie switches over 10G single-mode fibre links.
- Building-to-Building Fibre: A practical option for links between buildings, cabinets or network zones up to 10km apart.
- Campus Networks: Useful for schools, warehouses, business parks and multi-building sites needing 10G fibre backbone connectivity.
- CCTV and Network Backbones: Ideal where multiple cameras, access points or switches aggregate back to a core switch over fibre.
- Single-Mode Fibre Installations: Best when the site already uses SMF cabling with LC termination and requires a 10G LR optic.
Why Choose the XG-SFP-LR-SM1310
Choose the XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 when the installation needs a standard 10G single-mode fibre transceiver for longer links than short-range multimode modules can support. It is especially useful for network uplinks between cabinets, buildings or aggregation points where copper Ethernet would exceed distance limits or be less suitable for the environment. Compared with SR multimode optics, this LR single-mode module is better for longer fibre runs; compared with ER or ZR modules, it is more appropriate when the required link distance is within 10km. This model, supplied by Security Wholesalers, suits professional Ruijie network deployments where fibre type, connector type, wavelength and link distance must be matched correctly.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm that the switch or router has a compatible 10G SFP+ port before ordering. This is not for standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, and it should not be selected for devices that only support 1G SFP optics.
Buyer Tip: Match the fibre type and connector carefully. The XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 is designed for single-mode fibre with duplex LC connectors, so it is not the right choice for multimode fibre runs that require SR optics.

Building Interconnects
Suitable for single-mode fibre links between buildings, sheds, warehouses or separate communications rooms within the 10km range.
Campus Fibre Backbones
A practical optic for schools, campuses and multi-building sites using single-mode fibre to connect distributed network switches.
CCTV Aggregation Networks
Useful where camera switches aggregate video traffic back to a central network location over a 10G single-mode fibre uplink.
Warehouse and Industrial Sites
Best for longer cable paths where fibre is preferred over copper due to distance, electrical separation or cabinet placement.
Network Upgrade Projects
Use when upgrading from 1G fibre uplinks to 10G on compatible SFP+ equipment and existing single-mode fibre infrastructure.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 10G SFP+ 1310nm LR transceiver for duplex LC single-mode fibre links up to 10km.
- Choose an SR multimode module if: The site uses short-range multimode fibre rather than single-mode fibre.
- Choose an ER or ZR module if: The fibre link distance is longer than 10km and the connected equipment supports the required longer-range optic.
FAQs
- What is the XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 used for?
The XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 is used to create 10G fibre links between compatible network devices with SFP+ ports. It is commonly used for switch uplinks, building-to-building connections, aggregation links and fibre backbone upgrades where single-mode fibre is already installed or planned.
- What fibre type does the XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 require?
The XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 is designed for single-mode fibre, not multimode fibre. It uses a duplex LC connector and operates at 1310nm. Buyers should confirm the installed fibre type, connector style and patch lead requirements before ordering, because using the wrong fibre type can prevent the link from working correctly.
- How far can the XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 transmit?
The XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 supports link distances of up to 10km over single-mode fibre. Actual link performance depends on fibre quality, patching, connector cleanliness, splice loss and total optical budget. It is best suited to standard long-reach 10G links within the 10km distance class.
- Is the XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 suitable for multimode fibre?
No. The XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 is an LR single-mode fibre transceiver. For multimode fibre, a compatible SR optic is usually the correct choice. A common mistake is choosing based only on the SFP+ form factor while overlooking fibre type, wavelength and connector requirements.
- Does this module work in standard Ethernet ports?
No. The XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 is an SFP+ optical module and must be installed into a compatible SFP+ slot on supported networking equipment. It is not designed for RJ45 copper Ethernet ports, and it should not be used in equipment that only supports 1G SFP modules unless compatibility is specifically confirmed.
- What connector does the XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 use?
The XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 uses a duplex LC connector, which requires separate transmit and receive fibre strands. This is a common connector type for structured single-mode fibre installations. Buyers should check whether their fibre patch panel, lead and opposite-end transceiver use the same connector and polarity arrangement.
- Should I buy one or two XG-SFP-LR-SM1310 modules?
Most fibre links require a compatible optical transceiver at both ends of the link. If you are connecting two compatible switches over single-mode fibre, you will usually need one module for each device. This model is available through Security Wholesalers for suitable Ruijie 10G fibre uplink deployments.
- What should I check before installing the XG-SFP-LR-SM1310?
Before installation, confirm the connected equipment supports 10G SFP+, the fibre is single-mode, the connector is duplex LC, the distance is within 10km and the far-end optic is compatible. Clean fibre connectors are also important, as dust or poor patching can cause unstable links or no link at all.
