Description

Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver 10GBASE-SR 850nm 300m

Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical module designed for high-speed network connectivity over multimode fiber. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this SFP+ transceiver is suitable for compatible switches, routers, and networking equipment that support 10GBASE-SR optical interfaces. It provides a practical solution for enterprise networks, data centers, server connections, and short-reach fiber installations.

The Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver supports transmission distances of up to 300 meters over compatible OM3 multimode fiber and up to 400 meters over OM4 multimode fiber, according to Cisco’s specifications. Its compact SFP+ form factor helps network administrators add high-speed optical connectivity to supported networking devices.

Before ordering, confirm the exact Cisco part number, host-device compatibility, fiber type, connector requirements, and supported operating conditions for your installation.

Key Features of the Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet: Designed for compatible 10GBASE-SR network connections.
• SFP+ form factor: Fits supported SFP+ optical ports.
• 850 nm wavelength: Uses short-wavelength optical transmission over multimode fiber.
• Up to 300 m on OM3: Supports the specified reach over compatible OM3 multimode fiber.
• Up to 400 m on OM4: Supports a longer reach over compatible OM4 multimode fiber.
• Dual LC optical interface: Cisco specifies a dual LC/PC connector for this module family.
• Data center connectivity: Suitable for compatible server, switch, and network infrastructure connections.
• Compact design: Provides optical connectivity without requiring a larger transceiver form factor.

Reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

Businesses and data centers depend on stable network connections to transfer data between servers, switches, storage systems, and other infrastructure. A compatible 10G optical transceiver can help provide the bandwidth needed for applications that require faster network communication.

The Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver is designed for short-reach optical Ethernet links using multimode fiber. Its SFP+ format makes it useful in compatible networking equipment where 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is required.

When selecting a transceiver, do not rely on connector shape alone. Confirm that your switch or router supports the specific module and that the network configuration matches the transceiver’s optical specifications.

Fiber Compatibility and Transmission Distance

The supported distance for the Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver depends on the multimode fiber grade and installation conditions.

• OM3 multimode fiber: Up to 300 meters.
• OM4 multimode fiber: Up to 400 meters.

These distances reflect Cisco’s published specifications for the SFP-10G-SR module. Actual link performance depends on fiber quality, connector condition, optical loss, and the equipment at both ends of the connection.

The module uses a dual LC optical interface. Use compatible multimode fiber patch cables and ensure that the connected equipment and optical link are designed for 10GBASE-SR operation.

Common Applications

The Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver can be used in compatible environments such as:

• Enterprise network infrastructure
• Data center switch-to-switch links
• Server-to-switch fiber connections
• Network aggregation systems
• Storage and computing environments
• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet installations

Always verify device compatibility before installation. Not every SFP+ port supports every optical module, and compatibility may depend on the equipment model, software, and transceiver version.

Installation and Compatibility

Before installing the Cisco SFP-10G-SR Transceiver, check the host device’s supported transceiver list and verify that the intended port supports 10GBASE-SR. Confirm the installed fiber type, cable distance, connector configuration, and optical requirements.

Keep fiber connectors clean and follow approved fiber-optic handling procedures. After installation, check the network device’s interface status and diagnostics to confirm that the link is operating correctly.

Never look directly into a transceiver’s optical port or fiber connector. Follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions when handling optical networking equipment.
