Dell Optical Transceivers - Refurbished, Used, New
Dell optical transceivers and cables are the SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28, QSFP-DD and XFP modules, direct attach copper (DAC) cables and breakout cables that fit Dell PowerSwitch, Dell EMC Networking and Force10 switches, along with the network adapters in PowerEdge servers. They run from 1G copper and fiber links up to 100G and 400G data center ports, and the collection also includes Fibre Channel SFPs for Dell storage fabrics. Most Dell optics carry two identifiers: a Dell part number such as 407-BBOU or 470-AAVJ, and a short descriptive code such as SFP-10G-SR or DAC-SFP-10G-3M, so the same module can appear under either form. NetworkTigers sells Dell transceivers, DACs and breakouts refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships so it links up when it arrives.

Which Dell optic or cable do I need?
Match the port first: SFP+ for 10G, SFP28 for 25G, QSFP+ for 40G, QSFP28 for 100G, QSFP-DD for 200G and 400G, and XFP only in older Force10 and similar slots. Then match the distance and the fiber. A passive DAC is the lowest-cost link for servers in the same rack, up to 5m at 25G and 7m at 10G. On multimode fiber, SR optics reach 300m at 10G on OM3 and 100m at 25G and 100G on OM4; parallel SR4 optics need an MPO trunk, while BIDI and LM4 modules run over a duplex LC pair. On single-mode, LR reaches 10km, ER 40km and ZX further still. For a Dell storage array or FC switch, choose an FC-rated SFP at the fabric speed, not an Ethernet optic. If you already have the Dell 407- or 470- part number from a quote or a failed module, search that number; if you only have the short code, search that instead and we will cross-reference it.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the same Dell optic show up under two different part numbers?
Dell assigns an order code such as 407-BBOU to the module as sold, and the module itself is labeled with a descriptive code such as SFP-10G-SR and often an additional short label code such as RK0CX or WTRD1. All refer to the same physical part. The listing title gives every form we have seen on the label so you can confirm a match.
Will a Dell-coded optic work in a Dell PowerEdge server adapter?
Usually, yes: Dell adapters from Broadcom, Intel and Mellanox accept Dell-coded SFP+, SFP28 and QSFP28 modules and DACs. Tell us the adapter model and we will confirm before you order.
Do I need the G2 or 85C version of a 100G SR4 optic?
Both are 100GBASE-SR4 and link to any other SR4 optic. The suffix marks a later revision or a specific supplier build, so either one works in a QSFP28 port that accepts Dell optics. Choose by availability unless your switch documentation names one.
