IBM 45W2410-I Compatible 10G SFP+ T Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing 45W2410-I, this HT-manufactured SFP+ module delivers 10G transmission at the listed wavelength plan. Its rated reach is 30m on Cat6a / Cat7 or Better, with RJ-45 as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support project teams keep OEM references, delivery records and port schedules aligned, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

Project Documentation and Traceability
Large deployments are easier to audit when the order code, optical standard and endpoint record agree. Keep the OEM reference in the compatibility document and the HT part number on the packing list. Labels and carton groups can be arranged by rack or port plan so installers need not identify modules by appearance. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 10Gbps, rated reach 30m on Cat6a / Cat7 or Better.
IBM Compatibility and Factory Testing
The module is checked for host recognition as 45W2410-I, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Applications and Optical Link Design
This copper transceiver is intended for short equipment links over the twisted-pair cabling category stated in the specifications. Typical uses include switch-to-server, switch-to-switch and rack-level connections where an RJ-45 interface is preferred over fiber. Use the required cable category, observe the rated distance and confirm that the host supports the module’s speed, power consumption and electrical operating modes.
The industrial temperature rating makes this version appropriate for controlled outdoor cabinets, transport nodes and other installations exposed to wider ambient temperature variation. Adequate airflow, protected cable routing and host-platform temperature limits still apply.
For this copper interface, use the stated cable category and keep the channel within 30m on Cat6a / Cat7 or Better. Patch-cord construction, connector quality and auto-negotiation can affect the result. Verify the negotiated speed and diagnostics at both ends rather than assuming every RJ-45 port behaves identically.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
Use the electrical and optical limits in the specification table as the acceptance reference for this model. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Not Implemented. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original IBM transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies 45W2410-I, not an original IBM-branded module.
Which copper cable and connector are required?
Use RJ-45 with the specified category of Copper. The rated reach is 30m on Cat6a / Cat7 or Better, subject to cable category, installation quality and host support.
Can it be used at a different speed or over another cable category?
Only within the multi-rate and cabling capabilities stated in the specifications and supported by the host. Confirm the required cable category, distance and auto-negotiation behavior before installation.
Ordering Information
When ordering, specify 45W2410-I, SFP-10G-T-30I, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
