Network transceiver module Cisco SFP-10G-SR-C SFP+ fiber optic 10 Gbit/s

Cisco SFP-10G-SR-C is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module engineered for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The module supports a hot-pluggable SFP+ interface and a maximum data transfer rate of 10 000 Mbit/s, making it suitable for deployment in switches and servers within data center and enterprise network environments. It is designed to provide reliable multimode fiber connectivity for short-reach backbone and aggregation applications.

Advantages

The module offers compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and supports hot swapping to minimize downtime during upgrades or replacements. Its design focuses on short-range, high-speed connectivity over multimode fiber, enabling straightforward integration into existing 10 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. The compact SFP+ form factor reduces port density impact while delivering full 10 Gbit/s performance.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Upgrading or replacing SFP+ ports in switches and servers
• Data center aggregation and access layers
• Enterprise wiring closets and campus network short links

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Optical medium: multimode fiber, short-range applications
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch or server until it locks into place, then connect the multimode fiber patch cable with the appropriate LC connector. Ensure that link partners are configured for 10 Gigabit operation and that fiber type and cable length meet short-range specifications. The module supports hot-plugging, so it can be inserted or removed while the host equipment is powered on if supported by the platform.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch or server platform before installation and confirm that multimode fiber and patchcords meet the required insertion loss and distance for short-range 10G links. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and keep optical connectors clean to maintain signal integrity.
