Recommendation:
- Choose LRM for legacy multimode fiber environments
- Choose SR for new high-density data center deployments
It is used for 10G Ethernet connections over multimode fiber, especially in environments where existing fiber infrastructure is reused.
Yes. It is fully compatible with Cisco switches, routers, and other devices that support SFP+ 10G interfaces.
- Required for OM1/OM2 fiber
- Optional for OM3/OM4 fiber
The module supports up to 220 meters over multimode fiber, depending on fiber quality and network conditions.
Yes. It supports Digital Optical Monitoring, including:
- Optical power levels (TX/RX)
- Temperature
- Voltage
- Bias current
In some controlled scenarios, it may operate over short distances on SMF, but it is primarily designed for multimode fiber.
SFP supports up to 1G, while SFP+ supports 10G Ethernet. This module is an SFP+ 10G device and is not backward compatible with standard SFP ports.
All modules are:
- 100% tested before shipment
- Fully compliant with industry standards (CE, FCC, RoHS)
- Hot-swappable for zero downtime replacement
- Backed by warranty and technical support
