Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver Module

Product Overview

The SFP-10G-SR is a high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) fiber optic transceiver unit to be used in short-haul transmission of data in multimode fiber. It is best suited in data centers, enterprise wiring closets, and aggregation links where a high bandwidth is required over relatively short distances. The module provides the flexibility, reliability, and performance needed to support modern network deployments with minimum latency and minimum power consumption.

Key Features and Benefits

• High-Speed Connectivity: Supports 10 Gbps throughput, which provides high-speed data transfer and supports high-traffic applications.

• Cost-Effective Short-Distance Solution: Supports up to approximately 300 meters with standard OM3 multimode fiber (MMF) and up to approximately 400 meters with OM4, making it suitable as a solution in horizontal cables and intra-rack or intra-room connections.

• Interoperable and Hot-Swappable: will fit any compatible SFP+ port; can be swapped with no downtime in many systems, making upgrades or maintenance easier.

• Low Power Consumption: Uses less energy than more extended range or single-mode optics, and also lowers the cost of operation in large arrays.

• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM): Enables real-time monitoring of optical parameters (transmit/receive power, temperature, and supply voltage), making it easy to manage and maintain proactively.

• Standards-Compliant: Conforms to IEEE 802.3ae, as well as Multi-source Agreement (MSA) requirements of SFP+ modules, and supports compatibility with most other vendor-supplied devices.

Technical Specifications

Product Information

The SFP-10G-SR is designed to support high-density networking solutions in which 10 Gbps bandwidth is needed over multimode fiber connections, i.e., within a rack, between racks, or across short distances of a data center. Since it operates with 850 nm multimode optics, it is cheaper compared to the single-mode applications and uses less power, thus reducing operation costs and cooling needs.

Its LC duplex connector enables it to conform to conventional multimode fiber infrastructures. DOM/DDM (real-time diagnostic) enables network administrative personnel to check the health of links and react to problems before they develop into system-wide issues. IEEE standards and SFP+ MSAs compliance are two factors that guarantee it is compatible with equipment of different vendors.

Altogether, the SFP-10G-SR would be a good option in cases of short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections when cost, power, and performance must be used in an efficient way.
