Core Product Positioning
The Cisco SFP-10G-SR is a hot‑swappable commercial-grade SFP+ transceiver compliant with IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR. It delivers wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission over multimode fiber for short-reach data center, enterprise aggregation and rack-to-rack interconnections. Built for standard climate-controlled environments, this module integrates DOM/DDM digital diagnostics for real-time optical parameter monitoring. It supports 10GbE and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for unified storage and data networking.
