Cisco Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus Transceiver - 10GE SR

Experience high-performance 10G Ethernet connectivity with the Cisco Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus Transceiver - 10GE SR. Engineered for data networking and optical networks, this SFP+ module delivers reliable, scalable uplinks over multimode fiber. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and campus deployments, it blends Cisco reliability with flexible, hot-swappable operation to keep your network agile and productive. Designed to meet demanding traffic patterns and virtualization workloads, this transceiver helps you maximize throughput, minimize latency, and simplify ongoing maintenance across growing architectures.

  • Ultra-fast 10GBASE-SR performance — This Cisco SFP+ transceiver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 10GBASE-SR, delivering full-duplex data rates that meet the demanding needs of modern data centers. With 850 nm transmission, it provides robust, low-latency uplinks ideal for backbone and distribution links. The module is designed to maximize throughput while minimizing latency, enabling applications such as server-to-server workloads, storage replication, and high-performance computing clusters. Its compatibility with Cisco switches, routers, and optical networking gear ensures seamless integration into existing infrastructures, simplifying deployment and management. In real-world deployments, you’ll appreciate predictable performance under mixed workloads, consistent throughput during peak periods, and the ability to scale alongside your network without hardware redesigns.
  • Short-reach capability over multimode fiber — The 300-meter (984.25 ft) reach makes it perfect for rack-to-rack, row, or campus network extensions without needing repeaters. The 850 nm transmission is optimized for multimode fiber (OM2/OM3/OM4 variants), supporting common fiber types used in data centers. The SR design emphasizes reliability and easy handling in dense environments, where cabling clutter and space are at a premium. With Cisco’s rigorous testing and interoperability, you’ll experience stable links, low bit-error rates, and consistent performance across varied cabinet layouts, temperatures, and electrical environments.
  • Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor — The pluggable SFP+ package lets you upgrade or swap components with minimal downtime. This design minimizes service interruption and simplifies capacity planning as your network grows. The transceiver is fully compatible with Cisco’s ecosystem, ensuring plug-and-play operation when inserted into supported switches and routers. It supports hardware diagnostics (DDMI) to help monitor critical parameters such as optical power, temperature, and voltage, aiding proactive maintenance and reducing mean time to repair. The hot-swappable nature also reduces maintenance windows and improves overall data-center efficiency during upgrades and cabling changes.
  • Reliability and productivity for data centers — The SR transceiver is engineered for dependable operation in high-density environments. It enables efficient aggregation to spine-leaf architectures and supports high-throughput workloads like virtualization, cloud services, and disaster recovery replication. The module’s robust build, low insertion loss, and tight tolerances contribute to stable links even in challenging cabling setups. Cisco’s reputation for quality and long-term availability means you can trust this transceiver for ongoing network reliability and easy lifecycle management. Its design also helps simplify cabling management in dense rack environments, reducing maintenance complexity and improving airflow and cooling efficiency.
  • Industry-standard compliance and Cisco reliability — Built to the IEEE 802.3 10GBase-SR standard and compatible with Cisco Fast Ethernet to 10G networks, this transceiver integrates smoothly with diverse equipment. It supports 850 nm multi-mode fiber with LC connectors and is designed for rugged, hot-swappable operation inside data centers, campuses, and edge networks. With Cisco's service ecosystem and partner support, you gain access to firmware updates, diagnostics, and compatibility assurances that simplify procurement, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. The module's reliability, availability, and support ecosystem help minimize total cost of ownership while maximizing network uptime and performance.

How to install Cisco Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus Transceiver - 10GE SR

Follow these steps to install the transceiver quickly and safely, ensuring optimum performance and long-term reliability:

  • Power down the host device or place it into maintenance mode per your organization’s policy to protect active traffic during the swap.
  • Identify an available SFP+ port on a Cisco switch, router, or optical aggregation device that supports the 10GBASE-SR module.
  • Align the transceiver with the SFP+ port and insert it firmly until you hear or feel a click, indicating it is seated correctly.
  • Connect a compatible 850 nm multimode fiber optic cable (LC connectors) to the transceiver’s LC receptacle, routing the cable as needed to minimize bending and stress.
  • Power on the device (or resume operation) and verify the link status in the management interface; ensure the 10G link shows as active and the port negotiates correctly to 10 Gbps.
  • Utilize Cisco diagnostics to monitor Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDMI) values, including optical power levels, temperature, and current, to verify stable operation and to identify potential issues during ongoing maintenance.
