Introduction to Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ Transceiver Modules

SFP+ transceiver is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver which is used for both telecommunication and data communications applications. It is the enhanced version of SFP (small form-factor pluggable) transceiver. Since 10 Gigabit Ethernet has been launched years ago, various 10GBASE SFPs+ transceivers have been produced. This publication will mainly introduce the Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ modules.

The Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ transceiver modules are designed for use in 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over optical fibers, providing a wide variety of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options. Listed below are three types of Cisco 10GBASE SFP transceiver modules: Cisco SFP-10G-SR transceiver module, Cisco SFP-10G-LRM transceiver module and Cisco SFP-10G-ER transceiver module.

Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver Module

10GBASE-SR (Short Range) is a port type for multi-mode optical fibers and uses 850nm lasers. It is one of the mostly used types because of its cost-effectiveness. The Cisco 10GBASE-SR transceiver module supports a link length of 26m on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)-grade multi-mode fiber (MMF). Using 2000MHz*km MMF (OM3), long link lengths up to 300 m can be achieved. Using 4700MHz*km MMF (OM4), signals can be transmitted over a fiber with link lengths up to 400 m.

Cisco SFP-10G-LRM Transceiver Module

10GBASE-LRM (Long Reach Multi-mode) originally specified in IEEE 802.3aq is a kind of specification for multi-mode fibers and uses 1310nm lasers. The Cisco SFP-10G-LRM transceiver module supports link lengths of 220m on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) grade multi-mode fiber (MMF). The image below shows the outlook of the SFP-10G-LRM transceiver module.

Cisco SFP-10G-ER Transceiver Module

10GBASE-ER (Extended Reach) is a port type for single-mode fibers (SMF) and uses 1550nm lasers. The Cisco 10GBASE-ER module supports a link length of up to 40 kilometers on standard single-mode fiber (SMF, G.652). The following picture helps to have a better understanding of the 10GBASE-ER module.

Why Choose the Cisco 10G SFP+ Transceiver Module?

The 10G SFP transceiver module is popular among its users due to its several features and benefits. Besides the above-mentioned long-distance transmission, this hot-swappable Cisco 10G SFP+ transceiver allows the flexibility of integrating the devices in the interfaces. In addition, this kind of SFP is compatible, and the replacement or repair process of optics is convenient. What’s more, the monitoring and diagnostics of optical fibers are easy because this transceiver module supports the digital optical monitoring.
