Core Product Positioning
The Cisco SFP-10G-ZR is a hot‑swappable commercial-grade multirate SFP+ transceiver. It supports 10GBASE-ZR, 10GBASE-ZW and OTU2/OTU2e signal rates for ultra-long-distance point-to-point connectivity over standard single-mode fiber. Designed for carrier WAN, remote campus backbone, inter-city enterprise and long-haul data center interconnection deployments. Built-in DOM/DDM enables continuous real-time monitoring of internal optical operating parameters. This module supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for converged networking environments.
2. Hardware & Software Compatibility
Supported Host Platforms
Cisco Catalyst 3650, 3850, 4500-X, 6500, 6800, 9200, 9300 Series; Nexus 2000, 3000, 5000, 9000 Series Switches; ASR 1000, ASR 900 Series Routers; UCS Fabric Interconnects; MDS 9000 Storage Switches and Firepower appliances equipped with SFP+ ports.
Supported IOS / IOS XE / NX-OS Versions
All mainstream Cisco operating system releases supporting SFP+ MSA specification and SFF‑8472 DOM diagnostic functions.
Supported Fiber Type
Single‑Mode Fiber (SMF) G.652 (9/125μm) only; incompatible with multimode fiber.
Unsupported Platforms
Gigabit-only SFP slots without SFP+ capability, QSFP ports without adapters, legacy GBIC interfaces.
Critical Note: For fiber spans shorter than 20 km, deploy inline optical attenuators to avoid receiver saturation and potential hardware damage.
